Mid‑1980s Redesign and Model Year Launch
In July 1985 Citroën introduced the LNA for the 1986 model year, updating the car’s appearance by changing the previously black grille and bumpers to a new grey finish. This visual refresh signaled the latest iteration before LNA production eventually ceased.
1978 Renaming and Engine Upgrade
The model originally known as the LN was renamed the LNA in 1978, coinciding with the installation of a bored‑out version of the twin‑cylinder engine used in the Citroën Visa. This power unit delivered 36 hp, giving the LNA a modest performance boost over its predecessor.
Extended Production Span
While early timelines list LNA models from 1978 to 1984, the car’s production continued into the late 1980s, officially running from 1986 to 1988 and, according to some sources, extending into 1989 in certain markets. This prolonged run reflects the model’s sustained popularity across different regions.
