CITROENCX Break 1985 - 1991

　　Citroen introduced the last refresh for its flagship model, the CX, which affected both the sedan and the station wagon, also known as Break.

　　By 1985, the CX started to show its age. Once a revolutionary vehicle in terms of design and fitted with top-of-the-line technologies, it was already outdated. Even though it already went through a facelift two years before, it was not enough. So the automaker made another improvement to make the car look younger. This time it worked, and the model remained the same until 1991, when it was retired.

　　Since the chromed metallic bumpers were no longer trendy, the French automaker replaced them with wrapped-around plastic ones. These were aerodynamically profiled to fit the car's overall look. Suddenly, the CX looked fresh again. In addition, depending on the trim level, they were body-colored, which increased the car's look even more. In this long-roof version, the slim rear bumper had to withstand the burden of loading and unloading stuff from the massive trunk, loaded through the wide liftgate.

　　Inside, there were more changes. Unfortunately, some of them were unique features for the CX lineup, such as the barrel-design gauge for the speedometer. Customers didn't appreciate those, so the automaker installed regular dials. In addition, the steering wheel sported a single-spoke design instead of the twin-spoke one offered on the Series I CX.

　　Starting with 1985, the CX received more fuel-injected versions that helped the large station wagon provide adequate power to the wheels. In addition, a turbo-diesel version with 120 PS (119 hp) helped the car get a very good fuel efficiency.
