DS 5 is a modern approach to the premium
executive car, with distinctive, contemporary
air. It’s a car that’s very hard to categorise.
It offers a new crossbreed of genres.
The interior perfectly matches the excitement
triggered by the exterior, complementing the
vehicle as a whole. It really is a great moment.

When you get into any car, you’re just
in a car. But, when you climb into DS 5,
there is a clear expression of exclusivity
and renement.
In the cabin there’s one button per
function. Instead of searching for functions
in menus and sub-menus, you just press
a button to get the function working.
It’s very simple.

The leather used in DS 5 is outstanding.
No other general manufacturer uses it. But
we use it. We even used particle technology
from the cosmetics industry. Some amazing
things. Real chemistry.
We do our utmost best to maintain quality down
to the tiniest detail in luxury style. In turn it’s
much harder to produce several copies while
maintaining high standards than to do a one-off.
Haute couture is a concept car. We industrialise
haute couture.

The Hybrid4 DS 5 project is the most
interesting, inspiring project I’ve worked on in
my entire career, lled with real, cutting-edge
hybrid technology.
Hybrid4, is the world’s rst diesel hybrid
engine. The combination of an efcient HDi
diesel engine with electric power is most
efcient for urban use. But the true satisfaction
is in the nal result, driving pleasure.

We started off with a form which we began
to sculpt. Then the car gradually became
polished, rounded, softened, like a pebble
polished by water.
DS 5 is more compact, slightly higher than
a normal saloon. Everything is condensed.
It highlights the monolith aspect.

Weve positioned DS 5 at the top end of the
range, with a level of luxury never before
seen. The subtle feel of the materials,
dominates the soul of the interior. It
transcends the driver’s senses.
We scoured the world for the best producers,
going to the USA to nd who makes the nest
metals used in today’s luxury cars. For the
leather upholstery, Bavaria’s nest bulls were
used to obtain this incredible suppleness
which acquires this nish with time.

MOVING SCULPTURE. A GREAT DESIGN IS
ALL ABOUT BALANCE: BETWEEN FLUIDITY
AND TENSION, COMPACTNESS AND SPACE
EFFICIENCY, BOLDNESS AND ELEGANCE.
THEY’RE ALL PRESENT, IN STRIKING
HARMONY ACROSS DS 5S EXTERIOR.
BEAUTIFULLY RESOLVED AND UNIQUE DETAILS BRING THE EXTERIOR TO LIFE, FROM
THE OVERSIZED AIR INTAKE AND CHARISMATIC DOUBLE CHEVRON GRILLE, TO THE
REAR BUMPER, WITH TWIN EXHAUSTS INTEGRATED INTO ITS DESIGN. SWEEPING
CHROME FINISHED ‘SABRES’ THAT FLOW FROM THE TOP OF EACH HEADLIGHT TO
THE WINDSCREEN HIGHLIGHT DS 5S PURITY OF LINE.
UNMISTAKABLY DS
From every angle, DS 5 is undiluted DS. The subtly curved
rooine merges into a sporty rear roof spoiler, and muscular wheel
arches wrap closely around a choice of stunning alloy wheels.
LIGHT SIGNATURE
Vivid clear LED lights provide an unmistakable new signature
for DS 5, underscoring the headlights in a dramatic
curved line while encapsulating style with safety.

DESIRABILITY IN DETAIL. THE MEANING
OF RADICAL LUXURY IS CLEARLY
EXPRESSED THROUGH THE MATERIALS,
DETAILS AND METICULOUS QUALITY
THROUGHOUT DS 5. ITS A BLEND OF
INNOVATION AND TRADITION.
SUPPLE LEATHER COVERS THE SEATS ON DSPORT VERSIONS, WHILE IN STYLISH CONTRAST,
COOL BRUSHED METAL IS USED EXTENSIVELY, SUCH AS ON THE BEAUTIFULLY SHAPED
DOOR HANDLES, AT THE BASE OF EACH HEAD RESTRAINT, ON THE VENT SURROUNDS AND
CENTRE CONSOLE. EVERYWHERE, THE FINISH IS IMPECCABLE – EVERY STITCH AND CURVE
MADE WITH OLD FASHIONED CARE AND ADVANCED TECHNIQUES.

INSIDE INSPIRATION. HERE IS A VERY
SPECIAL PLACE: AN INTERIOR THAT
MATCHES THE DRAMA, QUALITY AND
PRESENCE OF DS 5S EXTERIOR.
THE SPORTY DRIVING POSITION IS A GOOD VANTAGE POINT FROM WHICH TO ENJOY THE PERFECTLY PLACED
BUTTONS, SCROLL WHEELS AND TOGGLE SWITCHES ARRANGED ON TWIN CENTRE CONSOLES, ONE SET
LOW AND ONE ABOVE THE DRIVER’S HEAD, AVAILABLE ON DSTYLE AND DSPORT, AS IN AN AIRCRAFT.
PUSH THE START BUTTON AND THE DIALS SPRING INTO LIFE, AS AMBIENT LIGHT SUBTLY BATHES
THE COCKPIT IN RED AND WHITE LIGHT. THERE’S AN AIR OF COMPLETE REFINEMENT, SUPPORTED BY
SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY THAT IS QUITE UNIQUE.
TIMELESS
Even the analog clock, standard on DStyle and DSport,
optional on DSign versions, is highly distinctive and elegant.
Like every interior feature it celebrates the seamless blend
of contemporary and traditional quality.
TRADITIONAL INNOVATION
You could only be in DS 5. The beautiful, ‘watch
strap’ seat design, optional on DStyle and DSport in Tan,
Crimson or Criollo Semi-Aniline leather with DS embossing
offers a special welcome and a new interpretation of luxury.
Optional on the same versions, the dynamic range of ‘Nappa’
leathers with touches of Graphite, Ice White or Crimson
provide an all-encompassing sense of quality and comfort.

leather to choose from, ranging from black leather with
cloth for a sporty feel, to the ultimate in luxury, semi-aniline
leather with DS embossing. Rest assured your DS 5 interior
is a place you will love to be.
