Citroën Saxo facelift

Citroën has restyled the Saxo nose, adopting a similar treatment to the Xsara.

In 1997 in the United Kingdom, 25% of all sales of high performance superminis were Saxos - the 90 bhp VTR and 120 bhp VTS outselling rivals from Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Renault and Fiat. More than 6,000 hot Saxos were sold in Britain in 1997 in a year when total Saxo sales exceeded 50,000 to become Citroën's fastest selling car ever.
