CITROËN DS HIGH RIDER CONCEPT: DYNAMIC, COMPACT AND EXCLUSIVE
Citroën has released first details of a striking new concept design that will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. DS HIGH RIDER is the second concept associated wîth Citroën's innovative and distinctively styled DS line.Without denying the appeal of conventional coupés, DS HIGH RIDER represents a bold and radical vision of the future, combining compact dimensions wîth generous internal volumes, dynamic performance, sophisticated style and consummate quality.
Únlike traditional 4-seater coupés, wîth their long, low design, the DS HIGH RIDER is compact and muscular.
Its character is expressed in its unique driving sensations, wîth a sleek flowing windscreen that soars over the heads of front occupants - hinting at a bright and spacious cabin environment. The apparently continuous glazed area of the side windows connects the A-pillars to the gently sloping roof line of the rear. Planted firmly on stylish 19' alloy wheels and beautifully in proportion, DS HIGH RIDER's confident profile is characterised by its high waistline. Its front end is purposeful wîth gaping air intakes, long incisive headlights and defined ridges along the bonnet.

Just 4.26m long, 1.82m wide & 1.48m high, DS HIGH RIDER combines a neat and nimble chassis, for responsive handling, wîth intelligent design architecture that provides occupants wîth a generous amount of internal space.DS HIGH RIDER's ability to rise above conventional design constraints is also reflected in its choice of power. Offering an enjoyable driving experience wîth dynamic on-road performance, DS HIGH RIDER is respectful of the environment wîth an advanced 'Full Hybrid' diesel drivetrain that combines a refined HDi DPFS* engine under the bonnet wîth an electric motor located on the rear axle. The hybrid platform enables DS HIGH RIDER to combine the fuel efficiency and power of an HDi diesel engine wîth the ecological benefits of a new generation electric ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle). Únder certain conditions, both engines combine to deliver additional power wîth additional torque transmitted to the rear wheels.
