CITROENZX 3 Doors 1996 - 1997

　　After six years on the market, Citroen made a final refresh for the ZX range, and, besides the five-door hatchback and the station wagon, the three-door version was also upgraded.

　　Even though it was not the most thought-after version from the ZX's lineup, the three-door version was still appealing to the younger generation. It tried to be a French alternative to other compact three-door hatchbacks on the market produced in Germany or Italy.

　　Citroen's design department didn't sweat too much on redesigning this final, upgraded version of the car. It kept the same front fascia, introduced in 1994, but it painted the hidden door handles and mirrors. Yet, they didn't consider darkening the B-pillar to make the car look like a proper coupe. But the addition of alloy wheels and a roof spoiler for the sportiest version were a few good reasons to take this French compact hatchback.

　　The interior was fitted with new amenities on more trim levels. Things like air-conditioning, tape-player, and power windows were no longer used only for the most expensive versions of the three-door ZX. Moreover, the 16v version also got bucket seats with high-bolstered areas.

　　Under the hood, Citroen installed a wide choice of engines ranging between 67 hp and 161 hp (68 PS and 163 PS) paired with five-speed manuals.
