Citroën (French pronunciation: ​[sitʁɔɛn]) is a French brand of automobiles introduced in 1919 by André Citroën and owned by Stellantis since 2021. In 1934, the firm established its reputation for innovative technology with the Traction Avant. This was the world's first car to be mass-produced with front-wheel drive, four-wheel independent suspension, as well as unibody construction, omitting a separate chassis, and instead using the body of the car itself as its main load-bearing structure.
