Preparing for the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, where the entire DS line plus new special edition models will be on display, Citroen released more details on the amazing DS5.
The DS5 is the third model in the new DS family, and it’s the largest of them all. The car offers qualities of a normal family saloon with great practicality and amenities. But there is also some joie de vivre that make this car, and indeed every DS Citroen, so special.
You can see unique designer touches all over the car, and inside the cabin. You will never be bored inside this car. You may lose your mind though, because its a bit weird!
Here’s some deeper details about every aspect of this car:
– Styling. An eye-catching, daring design with inspired detailing, DS5’s aerodynamic silhouette is bold and assertive. The beautifully appointed cabin expresses the very best of Citroën styling expertise, with premium materials including club leather and brushed aluminium touches, together with unique elements such as the luxurious ‘watchstrap’ seats.
– Intelligent Design. DS5 is an extraordinary vehicle that offers a new approach in the premium executive segment. Combining compact body dimensions with a spacious interior, DS5 goes beyond traditional compromises between aesthetics and user-friendly design, successfully marrying true driving pleasure with comfort and well-being.
– HYbrid4. DS5 is the first Citroën model to feature HYbrid4 full-hybrid diesel technology, providing thrilling 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 – with total CO2 emissions from just 99g/km.
– Dynamic Performance. Like DS3 and DS4, New Citroën DS5 offers a dynamic, yet serene drive in all conditions. The car’s unique feel on the road gives direct feedback for a truly rewarding driving experience.
– Technology. DS5 features the latest advances in Citroën technology, including Intelligent Traction Control; a new-generation Lane Departure Warning System; an automatic high-beam function that activates and deactivates depending on light conditions and surrounding traffic; a new colour head-up display; and a reverse parking camera.
– Safety. Reassuringly secure with protection-enhancing technology exclusive to the model, DS5 recently achieved a 5-star safety rating in the latest round of Euro NCAP crash tests, along with an impressive 97% score in the ‘Safety Assist’ category.
– Spirit. Highly appealing inside and out, DS5 invites the driver and passengers alike to take part in a unique onboard experience. With an aviation-inspired cockpit driving position and a beautifully appointed cabin, all occupants can savour DS5’s engaging interior environment.
