CX Break Evasion
Here’s a luxurious, comfortable means of “escape” in this
special version of the CX Estate finished off by the firm of
Heuliez.
Its outside appearance differs from that of standard CX estates
by light-alloy wheel rims, vinyl roof and upper rear panels,
matt black window frames, and tinted glazing throughout. Both
outside rear-view mirrors are electrically controlled.
Inside arrangements include forward-folding of rear seats in
separate halves, and electric control of all windows. The
instrument panel, body uprights, door and rear-gate panels are
all lined with buff leather.
The seats, of the CX GT1 type, are upholstered in buff-coloured
rhovyline fabric, like those of the CX Prestige, but can
optionally be of buff leather.
Other optional features : panoramic sliding roof of dark-tinted
glass and air conditioning (special Isotherthermal insulation is
however standard).
The vehicle is available in two versions : 5-seater estate or
7/8-seater family version; and in two lengths:
16’ 3 Ľ”, like other CX Estates,
or 16’ 9 ˝”
INJECTION OR DIESEL
It is also available with a choice of two engines: the
electronic-injection 2400-cc, or the 2500-cc Diesel, and can
according to the customer’s choice be fitted with one of two
gearboxes: the 5-speed box or the automatic (ZF transmission
comprising a hydraulic torque converter and an automatic
hydraulically-controlled gearbox).
The body is finished in varnished metallic cruise blue, pearl
grey, golden sand, tamarisk green or dragon red lacquer, but can
optionally be supplied in any tint to be found on the market.

Below dating
from 1978 the Break Evasion used the engine of the CX
GTi or the 2.5 diesel. The rear doors were lengthened by
16 cm and the interior of the car was luxuriously
equipped.

CX Evasion 2
|
Below in
October 1988 at the Paris Salon, Heuliez showed a new
Evasion Break based on the series II CX 7 seater
familiale.
It was beautifully finished inside and out - the
interior using leather, virgin wool (hence the Woolmark
logo) and an opening roof.
Other versions with differing trims and colours were
shown in 1989 and 1990 by which time the CX had been
superceded by the XM.
