To begin with, the 7 Traction Avant was probably positioned in Citroën's range as an innovative model to complement the 8, 10 and 15 Rosalie series. Given the enthusiastic reception it received and André Citroën's plan to concentrate exclusively on front-wheel drive, the engineering office was charged with designing a complete range of volume production models in record time.
There had already been a 7 Sport model, powered by the 2-litre 11CV engine, which kept the small body of the 7, but with this engine it was possible to imagine producing cars which were longer and wider while retaining the overall appearance of the 7.
This design exercise gave rise to a six-seat saloon, as well as a roadster and fauxcabriolet built on the same wheelbase. Matters did not end there, since Citroën wanted to extend its range to include long-wheelbase family and limousine models, still using unitary construction, which initially caused some problems of rigidity. These versions with their stretched lines had three side windows and despite their very low styling were unexpectedly roomy. The first model, the ‘Limousine', was a five- or sixseat model with a spacious rear compartment, while the second, the ‘Familiale', had room for eight or nine passengers, with folding jump seats between the two benches. Popular with large families, these models were also favoured as taxis for a long time. On the first series produced, a styling device can be observed whereby the front and rear doors were symmetrical.
