2012 Citreon DS5 revealed its upcoming DS5 family crossover,
which will make its official debut at the 2011 Shanghai Motor Show. Based on
looks alone, the French carmaker has produced a very attractive luxury
crossover.
The Citroen DS5 crossover shares many design cues with the
smaller DS3, including thanks to an aggressively swept nose and curvaceous
flanks. It is based on the Peugeot 508 platform, and will go up against the
likes of the Mercedes-Benz R-Class.
Although Citroen says the car’s styling is inspired by the
C-SportLounge concept car, the DS5 could also be described as a bigger version
of the DS4. Its lines are a mix of the DS4 hatchback and the C-SportLounge
crossover. The DS5 can accommodate five passengers and their luggage, as boot
volume sits at 465 liters.
2012 Citroen DS5 comes with the LED headlamps and the
extensive use of chrome. Inside, the DS5 sports a stylish ambiance thanks to
the combination of leather, wood and aluminum trim. The flat-bottomed steering
wheel, the driver-oriented central console and the special Bracelet seats also
contribute to an elegant environment.
The DS5 will be the first Citroen to use PSA Group’s Hybrid4
drivetrain, which pairs a diesel engine with an electric motor offering a total
of 200 horsepower and the advantage of four-wheel drive. The full-hybrid diesel
technology will allow for electric-only urban driving and the possibility of
temporary boosts of power when needed. The car’s CO2 emissions are rated at
only 99 g/km.
