HISTORY历史
When Citroen launches a car, Europe sits up and takes notice.富康轿车启动时,欧洲坐在起来需公告. Models like the 2CV, the CX and the more recent Xantia have now passed into motoring folklore.像模范2cv,Cx和较近xantia已经通过成为驾驶民俗. Individualism has become a Citroen trademark.个人主义成了雪铁龙商标. But not in the case of the Saxo.但在案件的saxo.
For internal reasons, the designers were forced to base it on its sister supermini in the PSA group, Peugeot's 106.内部原因,它的设计者是被迫的妹妹超小型基地在变压集团标致的106. Conservatism was the order of the day.保守主义被列入议事日程. The Saxo?s predecessor was of course the lovable AX.saxo的?可爱的前身,是当然的斧头. The car that drove along the Great Wall of China.车内,驱车沿长城的一部分. The car so chic that it even had a bottle-holder designed for your Perrier.轿车,它居然这么潇洒一瓶持有者为您perrier. It was young in heart, spirit and clientele.这是在年轻的心,精神与觊觎.
The Saxo, in contrast, has attended finishing school - and it shows.<saxo,相比之下,参加整理学校及说明. Where the AX was flimsy, it feels solid.如果斧头是站不住脚,因此感觉坚实. Where the AX was utilitarian, the Saxo feels plush.凡被斧头功利,长毛绒saxo感觉. Where the AX was poorly equipped, the Saxo can now offer almost everything you could want.凡被斧头设备简陋,saxo现在可以提供一切你能想差不多.
The car was originally launched in May 1996 in three-door form in 1.1i (LX and SX) and 1.4i (SX and VSX) versions.车内原本在1996年5月推出三项上门形式1.1i(lx和萱)及1.4i(萱及该款)版本. In October 1996, the five-door models were introduced, as was a 90bhp 1.6-litre automatic.1996年10月,五门型号介绍,由于是90bhp1.6公升自动. The 1.5-litre normally aspirated diesel variants also made their debuts and former LX models were rebadged ?X?.1.5升柴油变送气通常也层出不穷,前lxrebadged模式?十大?.
In January 1997, the two hot hatch Saxos were introduced ?1997年1月,两大热点舱口saxos介绍? the 90bhp VTR and the 120bhp VTS.录像机和120bhp90bhp的船舶. A year later in January 1998, the range got its first facelift, with a new grille, clear indicators, revised rear lights ad a key transponder immobiliser to replace the previous keypad system.一年后的1998年1月,第一次获得射程改版,以新的花砖,明确指标,修改后转发帕萨特灯光广告的主要系统,以取代以往的键盘.

A second facelift followed in October 1999, again with a new grille, bonnet and front wings plus some detail trim and equipment changes.1999年10月第二次改版之后,再次以新的门锁,头盖及前翼加上一些细节修剪和设备的变化. Automatic transmission was now optional only with the 75bhp 1.4-litre engine.现在自动变速器择才与75bhp1.4-公升引擎. In Spring 2000, an entry-level 1.0-litre FIRST model was added to the foot of the range, while the trim designations were revised to go from FIRST, through Forte and Desire to VTR and VTS.2000年春,一个入门级的1.0升首模型加上脚下的射程,虽然浪番号从第一去修改,通过看家、录像机、船舶欲望. Later that year, the 1.0-litre engine where used was replaced with the 1.1-litre unit.当年稍后,1.0公升引擎那里被用来代替11公升单位. Early in 2001, the VTR got an uprated 98bhp engine.早在2001年,录像机企管新型干法98bhp引擎. The C2 replaced the Saxo in 2003.<2003年的C2取代saxo.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
From a practical perspective, whether you choose three or five doors, it has to be said that rear seat passenger space, though adequate, isn't the best in the class.从现实的角度来看,无论你选择3至5门但必须指出,后座乘客的空间,虽然充足,并不是最好的班. Citroen intentionally traded it for boot space, maintaining (with some validity) that superminis rarely carry more than two people.雪铁龙故意作买卖车尾箱空间,保持(约有效性)superminis携带两个以上的人很少. So it is that the Saxo's boot capacity is substantially larger than rivals, with a generous 9.9 cubic feet - the Fiesta has 8.8 and the VW Polo only 8.6.因此,saxo的行李箱容量大大多于对手,九月九日与慷慨立方英尺的节日有64+15的马球只有8.8倍和8.6.
Any Citrophile will feel at home behind the wheel, for the switchgear comes straight from Xsara and Xantia models of similar age.citrophile有宾至如归的感觉后面的车轮,从赛纳的开关来直xantia型号和同年龄. Everything falls pretty easily to hand, though the wheel isn't adjustable and the electric window switches are rather fiddly to find.一切轻易交出漂亮跌倒,虽然车轮不可调和电动窗开关相当fiddly找到. At least Citroen?s ridiculous keypad immobiliser was replaced by a transponder built into the ignition key.至少雪铁龙?收盘键盘锁取而代之的是荒谬转发建成点火钥匙.
It's also pretty safe, with substantial crush safety zones and side impact protection that, until the Saxo?s time, you simply wouldn't have found on such a small car.它的安全还漂亮,相当拥挤和安全方面的影响,保护区内,直到saxo?收盘时,你根本就没有发现这么小的汽车. Pre-tensioned seatbelts and a driver's airbag are also included.预张安全带和司机的安全气囊也包括在内. That stiff bodyshell has also produced impressive levels of refinement, enabling the Saxo to be one of those small cars you could conceivably live with on a long journey.bodyshell也产生可观的严厉程度细化、saxo是使那些小车子,你真能忍受就远行.
