19 GT (4 cylinder engine, 1905 cc,
giving 105 hp and a top speed of I03 mph). It
features very comprehensive equipment which is
mostly electronic, including:
-
an electronic dashboard including,
notably, a central stylised diagrammatic
display of speed, doubled with a digital
display theref as well as a semi-circular
stylised display of the number of revs per
minute of the engine.
-
the existing warning light, detecting
whether or not the four doors are closed
is supplemented by a warning light, to the
left of the dashboard, indicating whether
the bonnet and rear hatchback are open.
-
all mechanical controls, water, oil, etc.
are situated together to the right of the
dashboard.
-

counter, and daily counter.
-
a BX I9 GT style on-board computer with
screen, the information from which can
also be displayed on the electronic
dashboard (reminder switch).
-
a high quality HI-FI car radio, including
“woofer” under the dashboard, two tweeters
and two loudspeakers in the padded door
panels, two appliances for headphones and
a 12 volt plug.
-
remote control for the locking and
unlocking of doors, which also operates
the internal lighting.
-
detection of non-functioning rear lamps

The electronic facia of the BX 19 Digit is
clear, legible and well structured. It
provides the driver with selected, precise and
essential information. It is efficient,
discreet and silent.
It seems that electronics will be closely
linked to the progress of the automobile for a
long time to come. With this version, which
uses the most refined automobile techniques,
the BX reconfirms its modern image, and finds
itself once again in the limelight of
innovation.
