Citroën SAXO
The Citroën Saxo is a supermini car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën from 1996 to 2003. It was also sold in Japan as the Citroën Chanson. It shared many engine and body parts with the Peugeot 106 (which itself was a development of the Citroën AX), the major difference being interiors and body panels. Production ended in 2003, when it was replaced with the Citroën C2. The engine range included five petrol engines and one diesel engine, all naturally aspirated.Citroën SAXO FAQ's
