Citroen Axel

The Citroen Axel was a supermini car produced by the French automaker Citroen from 1986 to 1997. It was designed as an entry-level model and to compete with Renault 5, the Peugeot 205 and Fiat Uno. The first Axel had a 1.2 liter engine and manual gearbox with either three or five doors, while the second generation had a 1.4 liter engine and three or five-door body styles. Its design was characterized by its angular lines, particularly the front light clusters, which were distinctive in their shape. The interior featured plenty of storage options, with several cubby holes and compartments for convenience.

The performance characteristics of the Axel were competitive for its class; it was able to reach a top speed of 145 km/h, while the handling was described as precise and responsive. Fuel consumption was also good, and the car provided decent value for money.

The Axel was offered in various trim levels; four door models had power steering, central locking and tinted glass as standard features. It came with an array of safety features such as anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger airbags, and seat belt pretensioners. Read more
