Citroen Xsara Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1997–2006) — First Generation

Citroen Xsara Engines and Transmissions

Choosing a Citroen Xsara engine also means considering the transmission. Estate examples include the gasoline 1.4 MT manual and 1.8 AT automatic, plus the diesel 2.0 AT automatic. A manual gives you direct control over gear selection, while an automatic reduces the effort of driving in stop-start traffic.
