Model history

The Citroën 7 CV, a model version of the Traction Avant, revolutionized the automotive industry with three groundbreaking features that can still be found in vehicles today: a self-supporting body without a separate frame, independent suspension on all four wheels and front-wheel drive. While most cars of the time, such as the Ford Model T, were based on a ladder frame with a rigid rear axle and rear-wheel drive, the Traction Avant set new standards in terms of dynamics and efficiency.
