This model is a typical Citroën, it combines a lot of very advanced features (for its time):
front wheel drive (due to that, the car was lower and lighter than usual), integral body and independent suspension.
All that features in one car was quite sensational in that time. The Traction Avant is the predecessor of the Citroën DS.
