The Citroën Xanthia concept car was a small roadster derived from the AX, 1986 The 1984 Xantia was created to give the launch of the AX a boost and a youthful, sporty image. The car uses the AX production hood, front lamps, grill, and a modified production instrument panel. The dark rear graphic, including the license plate, light up to create a strong identity in the dark. The tires were the first decorative tires on a show car which set a trend that many copied. There is a rumble seat, and the roll bar incorporates grab handles to assist rear passengers. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show.
