The Citroën ZX 1.8i Aura is a compact hatchback powered by a naturally aspirated 1.8-liter inline-four producing 100 hp and 113 lb-ft of torque. Its front-mounted transverse engine uses a SOHC 8-valve design with multi-point fuel injection, sending power through a 4-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. The result is a 14.2-second 0–60 mph time and a 109-mph top speed, with peak power arriving at 6,000 rpm and peak torque at 3,000 rpm. With a 2,310-pound curb weight, the ZX has a 23.1 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio.
The 1994–1997 hatchback combines compact dimensions with five-seat practicality and 11.4–40.5 ft³ of luggage capacity. MacPherson strut front suspension is paired with trailing-arm rear suspension, vented front discs, rear drum brakes and 185/60R14T tyres. Measuring 160.2 inches long with a 100-inch wheelbase, the ZX is 66.5 inches wide and 55.1 inches high. Its 13.7-gallon fuel tank supports a 393-mile total range, while 28.6 mpg combined economy and a 2,205-pound towing capacity add useful everyday versatility.
