The Appeal
Continuing Citroën's tradition of innovative flagship vehicles that began with the DS, the XM represents the pinnacle of French executive motoring from the 1990s. The Bertone-designed XM combined avant-garde styling with Citroen's advanced Hydractive hydropneumatic suspension system, creating a distinctive driving experience that set it apart from its German rivals. As the first V6-powered Citroen since the Maserati-engined SM of the early 1970s, this 3.0-litre model is particularly sought after by enthusiasts.
This 1994 example stands out for its low mileage, comprehensive service history, and careful maintenance. Having been garage-kept and maintained with a trickle charger since its purchase in 2021, this XM presents an opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of Citroen's technological flagship from the 1990s.
