My story
The car that launched front-wheel drive.
Unveiled in 1934, the Citroën Traction Avant was one of the first mass-produced cars to combine front-wheel drive with a monocoque body. Its steady handling and low silhouette set it apart from its contemporaries.
Built until 1957, it became a fixture of the French landscape: family car, police-drama staple, period-piece favourite. Its chevron grille is recognisable among a thousand.
