2012 Citroen DS5 news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
Citroën has revealed the eagerly anticipated third model in its innovative and distinctive DS line: Citroën DS5. Designed to express the full extent of Citroën's 'Créative Technologie', Citroën DS5 combines ground-breaking style, rewarding driving dynamics and exceptional refinement wîth innovative engineering solutions.
Citroën DS5 is the first Citroën model to feature HYbrid4 diesel hybrid technology, providing enhanced performance and class leading environmental credentials. The advanced HYbrid4 system delivers 200bhp; four-wheel drive capability; emission-free electric power for the city; and an acceleration boost function for the open road - wîth total CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.
The DS line has already redefined expectations in the supermini §egmènt wîth DS3, and combines the style of a coupé and the flexibility of a five-door hatchback wîth DS4. Progressing to the executive §egmènt, Citroën DS5 targets customers lòòking for a truly bold and assertive car wîth a resolutely modern approach to vehicle design.
Based on the futuristic and magical C-SportLounge concept, DS5 bringstrue technological innovation to its class.
The dynamic exterior reflects a modern expression of status and promises enhanced driving pleasure. Flowing lines, a sleek profile and muscular wheel arches - which wrap themselves around the large (16' to 19') alloy wheels - give Citroën DS5 an undoubted air of refined confidence.
The assertive front end instantly identifies Citroën DS5 as a member of the DS family. There is an oversized air intake, a large chrome-finished grille housing the chevrons and a new LED light signature. A distinguishing feature, DS5 boasts chrome-finished 'sabre' inserts stretching from the top of each headlamp to the windscreen.
The rear design takes Citroën DS5's on-road presence to yet another level. The car stands firmly on wide tracks, emphasised by two tail pipes built into the rear bumper and highlighted by a rear signature featuring six light guides.
Citroën DS5 is equally charismatic inside, wîth a remarkable cabin fully consistent wîth the exterior styling. The driver-focused cockpit features a coupé-like driving position wîth a near-vertical §teering wheel and a wide central console. Citroën DS5 instantly fires the imagination. An array of buttons, switches, scroll wheels and toggles are grouped on two central consoles, one low down and one above the driver's head, 'pilot-style'. A simple push on the START button brings the interior to life. The colour Head-Úp Display projects essential information into the driver's line of sight and the ambient lighting bathes the cockpit in a heady mix of red and white.
Most importantly, Citroën DS5 benefits from Citroën's expertise in quality and refinement. Each detail has been carefully considered, wîth premium materials such as fine-grain Club leather and exclusive designs like the 'watchstrap' seat upholstery - a signature touch of the DS line that is unique to the market.
Reconciling fun at the wheel wîth comfort and practicality, Citroën DS5 opens up new horizons wîth pioneering architecture, including:
•A sleek, compact body (4.52m long, 1.85m wide) and a driving position worthy of a Gran Turismo coupé.
•A roomy boot (up to 465 litres VDA) reminiscent of a Sportwagon.
•Five real seats, four doors and all the access and modularity of a hatchback.
For its motor show debut in Shanghai, DS5 appears in a one-off livery as the Citroën DS5 White Pearl. The cabin features ebony-coloured full-grain leather, contrasting subtly wîth silver-flecked overstitching. Interior detailing includes decorative inserts in Markassa ebony and a highly reflective fascia, created by applying several layers of lacquer. Citroën DS5 White Pearl also sports specially designed 20-inch alloy wheels.Source - Citroen
