Cheap windscreen replacement for your Citroën Xantia

The Citroën Xantia has been one of the French brand's success stories. More than a million models were made in a relatively short production period, and the Xantia has also been in demand on the used market for a long time. Do you own one of these cars and need its windscreen replaced? Then you have come to the right place for quality windscreens at extremely competitive prices. Before we get into our cheap automotive glass, let's take a look at this model that lured many a car enthusiast to the dealer for a test drive.

1992: the year the Citroën Xantia came on the market

That this Xantia became such a huge success is not nearly as obvious as you might think. After all, the Xantia is not an affordable, small model. It is a D-model, or hefty family car that was supposed to come on the market in 1992 and would be taken out of production as early as 2001. That was when the Citroën C5 made its appearance.

The Citroën Xantia has become extremely popular, and this is not only to do with the high French standard of convenience, for example thanks to its pleasant roadholding and optimal suspension, which we know this brand for. Indeed, it also has to do with the moose test, a test in which the car has to avoid obstacles at the highest possible speed without rolling over in the process. The Xantia set a record here with a speed of a whopping 85 kilometres per hour.

How special is that? Much more special than many people think, because no car could come close to the speed of the Xantia, which did not hit a single obstacle in the process. In comparison, the BMW M4 still hit 3 obstacles at 1/3rd of the Xantia's speed.

 
The reason Citroën launched the Xantia was because the Citroën BX needed to be replaced and the French wanted to compete with the Opel Vectra and the Ford Mondeo. To do this as well and powerfully as possible, Citroën dropped all plans and designs around the Citroën ZX and went back to its own distinctive designs that made the brand so great. This is also why it went back to the suspension of the Citroën DS.

The facelift for the Citroën Xantia in 1998

At the end of 1997 came the facelift for the Xantia (1998 model year) but not crazy much changed. The grille was repositioned, the dashboard was refreshed and the bumpers became available with a tint.

More than a million sales for the Xantia

Some 1,250,000 Xantia's were made, making the model score well, especially for the model type and the competition within this market segment. In the Netherlands, the Xantia also did well: almost 50,000 units
were sold, making its success comparable to that of the Citroën C5 (its successor), the Citroën AX and the Citroën Xsara Picasso, among others.

One of the unnamed highlights of the Xantia is the advertising that was made for the model. Admittedly, it is not a spectacular clip, it is not ‘sexy’ as adverts should be these days, but let's be honest: this advert is incredibly well put together and will have got many a family man to the Citroën dealer.

When should the Citroën Xantia windscreen be replaced?

Any kind of damage to the car is annoying, especially with the price of replacement car parts or the average hourly rate of an experienced car mechanic. That is why it is good to know that the windscreen by no means always needs to be replaced in case of car window damage. On the contrary, as there are roughly only two cases where you need to look for a replacement windscreen. Is the windscreen damage in the driver's field of vision and does it involve a chip at least two centimetres in diameter or is it a branched crack? Then your car will be rejected at the next MOT because this glass damage can cause dangerous situations. This is because incoming light can be reflected in unpredictable ways.

Is the damage in another place or is the extent (still) limited? Then you may continue driving with windscreen damage, but it is wise to keep an eye on the damage. In case of large temperature differences between inside and outside, the windscreen may crack further. It is also always wise to take a critical look yourself to see whether the damage is distracting and could cause dangerous situations. With us, you can find cheap Citroën Xantia windscreens with the option of arranging instant windscreen replacement on-site, so be sure to include that in your consideration when deciding whether to replace the windscreen.

What does a new windscreen for the Citroën Xantia cost?

You already have a new Citroën Xantia windscreen for €299. This price includes VAT, and excludes the cost of delivery and/or fitting the windscreen. Our prices are considerably lower than what the Citroën dealer can offer you, which is remarkable because the quality of the windscreens is identical. However, because the original windscreens have a brand logo on them, they have an exclusive character which causes a considerable price increase. We do not participate in this. Our after market Citroën Xantia windscreens have no brand logo and so we can always offer you the best value for money.

Can you replace the Citroën Xantia windscreen yourself?

Not sure if you can replace the windscreen on your Xantia? Then by all means don't start. Replacing windscreens is a precise and extensive job where a lot can go wrong and this can result in hefty costs. To make it as easy as possible for you, we work with professional fitting partners who replace windscreens on location throughout the Netherlands and Belgium. You can simply leave your car in your driveway, the car park of a shopping centre or even the company where you work. As long as our partners can get to your car, they will make sure you are back on the road with an intact windscreen in no time.

You can also opt for new car windows excluding fitting. We will then ensure that the windscreen is delivered to the delivery address (this can also be a garage or other business premises). Would you prefer to collect the order from us? That is also possible, but only by appointment.
