Prepare for impending teasing over the next few days as Citroën has released the first in a likely series of preview images of the third member in its distinctive line of DS models, the DS5, which will receive its world premiere on 18 April at the Shanghai International Motor Show.
Aside from the image pictured above, the French carmaker is keeping mum on all the details simply stating that the “DS5 is set to bring distinctive new elegance and panache to the executive class”.
It is believed that the new DS5 will be based on the architecture of Citroën’s C5 mid-size model with engine options including the PSA Citroën-Peugeot group’s Hybrid4 diesel-electric hybrid powertrain.
The DS lineup was inaugurated in 2009 with the launch of the DS3 supermini, while Citroën expanded the range with the introduction of the DS4, a high-stance five-door hatchback, at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

small car like this makes a lot of sense in today driving, I have a 2000 Civic that does 0-45 mph in 12 seconds, and most other cars are in my mirror at that acceleration, and it does feel like a good acceleration too. so I think small economical cars like this one are gonna be a big hit from now on.
I think that the DS range is stunning! The DS3 is cool and funky and a great drive. The up coming release of the DS4, will bring a whole new level to the market, so we can't wait to see the DS5! With many more great concept cars in the pipe line, Citroen are a great, strong brand at the moment.
Don't underestimate ze French.
