On sale from 1996, the Xantia Activa marked a real revolution in terms of handling, with a Hydractive controlled suspension (introduced on the XM) combined with an active roll-regulation system. Combined with the brilliant V6 3L ES9 developing almost 200bhp, the Xantia became a formidable handler, while maintaining a discreet presentation, making it possible to surprise upper category cars.
The example on offer corresponds to phase 2 which appeared from December 1997 and whose level of equipment approached the Exclusive version. It was registered in Indre et Loire on November 16, 1999, and has a beautiful peony red hue, paintwork which has not been redone. The velvet interior is superbly original. The car now totals just under 80,000 km from new, which is verified by a file of invoices and old technical inspections. In 2017, 4 spheres were replaced when the car showed 73,450 km. Vincent Crescia, one of the best restorers of Citroëns, after acquiring this Activa gave the car a complete overhaul and an exceptional treatment, and it is now in as new condition. A real collector's item since only 1,358 phase 2 units were produced, this Xantia V6 comes with its original user manual. To experience the amazing acceleration as well as the impressive road handling when it turns flat at full speed is quite something!
