The Citroën ZX 1.9 D Reflex is a lightweight compact hatchback powered by a naturally aspirated 1.9-liter inline-four diesel producing 67 hp and 89 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 a 17.9-second 0–60 mph time and a 103-mph top speed, with peak power arriving at 4,600 rpm and peak torque at 2,000 rpm. With a 2,306-pound curb weight, the ZX has a 34.41 lb/hp power-to-weight ratio.
The 1994–1997 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 165/70R13T tyres provide the braking and road contact. 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 diesel tank supports a 547-mile total range, while 39.9 mpg combined economy and a 2,205-pound towing capacity add useful long-distance versatility.
