Here is the website for Saipa. They still make the Xantia:-

Interesting they still make the Xantia. Wonder how may parts are interchangable with our French ones?
One thing they don't mention is the suspension (as far as I could see) and I wonder if it is now riding on conventional springs? If it was hydropneumatic I would have thought they would have made it a selling point
If a RWD cart-sprung 405 can be made and given the Xantia is on the 406 floorpan, a conventionally sprung one does not seem beyond the realms of possibility. But then it's not a real Xantia any more

Surely the Xantia power output is not correct? 62.5hp @ 5500rpm from the 2.0 16v engine. 162.5 sounds more like it. I would expect it's a typo.
With regard to it using hydropneumatic suspension, take a look at this picture from the site:
Unless it's one of the original Citroen diagrams, it shows the spheres and rest of the hydropneumatic suspension if you look closely.
