The Citroën ZX 1.9 TD Aura is a lightweight compact hatchback powered by a turbocharged 1.9-liter inline-four producing 89 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque. Its front-mounted transverse engine uses a SOHC 8-valve design with indirect diesel fuel delivery, sending power through a 5-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. The result is an 11.8-second 0–60 mph time and a 114-mph top speed, with peak power arriving at 4,000 rpm and peak torque at 2,250 rpm. With a 2,429-pound curb weight, the ZX has a 27.29 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio.
The 1993–1997 hatchback combines lightweight construction with five-seat practicality and 11.4–40.5 ft³ of luggage capacity. MacPherson strut front suspension is paired with trailing-arm rear suspension, while solid front discs, rear drum brakes and 185/60R14H tyres provide the braking and road contact. Measuring 160.2 inches long with a 100-inch wheelbase, the ZX is 67 inches wide and 55.3 inches high. Its 14.8-gallon diesel tank supports a 570-mile total range, while 38.6 mpg combined economy and a 2,425-pound towing capacity add useful long-distance versatility.
