The Citroen BX turns 40 in 2022, which is reason enough to revisit this quirkily brilliant family car. And what better what to celebrate than to pair it with Citroen's latest contender in the once dominant D-segment, the C5 X?

In this CarGurus UK video, Chris Knapman explains how the C5 X can trace its roots all the way back to the BX, via the C5 and Xantia. All of these cars sit within what its known as the D-segment of large family cars, the popularity of which has suffered as a result rising demand for SUVs. As such, the C5 X might just be Citroen's last roll of the dice for a big, plush executive car of this type, and thus the end of an era for Citroen.

In this video Chris finds out how the BX's clever hydropneumatic suspension gives the car a magic carpet ride (as well as a magic ride-height trick), and explores how the performance of the BX GT's 1.9-litre engine makes it genuinely fun to drive. Next up he takes the C5 X plug-in hybrid for a spin to see if this brand new model can match the BX for comfort and quirkiness.

With thanks to Barry Kitchen for loaning us his lovely 1984 BX GT for this video.
