THE BEST DESIGNED ESTATE IN ITS CLASS

BX catalogue page 28 and 29 - BX break

Much of what makes the BX a great saloon car also makes it an outstanding estate. Indeed, the extra carrying space insuch a car only becomes really useful when coupled to a ssuspension system designed specifically to cope with such loads. The BX's selflevelling suspension system maintains the same degree of comfort whether it's carrying a full payload of 565kg including driver, or whether it's unladen. You wont even have to adjust the headlamps for load. You can also lower the car's ride height for loading and rinse it to overcome obstacles off-road - so you can deliver any load right to where it's needed. And a BX with the superior traction of front-wheel-drive, allows you to venture where lesser cars might bog-down. But, more vitally front-wheel-drive frees space in the rear where rear-wheel-drive cars' transmission components usually intrude. The big news in the BX Estate range is the inclusion of t!he BX DTR Turbo Estate offering a new level of performance from Its 90 HP inter-cooled turbodiesel engine. These are outstandingly fast estates capable of 108 mph and 0-60 mph in just 10.4 seconds. Just as important, with 60% more torque than a convenuonally aspirated diesel of the same cubic capacity, they're highly tractable when carrying a heavy load. The BX's basic engineering atributes such as front-wheel-drive and self-levelling suspension are even more useful in these capacious and stylishly practical models.

The BX Estate's tailgate is the full height of the body and the bumper is built into the tailgate. With the car's suspension fully lowered, loads only have to be lifted a short distance. (Alloy wheels shown are available as an accessory).
