The current Citroen CX can tow up to 1,300 kg braked. Figures below are the strongest variant in each generation — lighter trims and engines tow less.
Unbraked (no trailer brakes): 709 kg.
| Years | Braked | Unbraked |
|---|---|---|
| 1976–1982 | 1,300 | 735 |
| 1982–1985 | 1,300 | 725 |
| 1985–1989 | 1,300 | 709 |
Towing capacity is the manufacturer-rated maximum for the model's strongest variant in each generation, not an average across trims — a base engine will tow less than the figure shown. Cars with an implausible source-data towing figure relative to their own kerb weight are excluded rather than shown with a guessed correction.
