New Citroën DS5 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 new

Citroën DS5, 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 new Citroën DS5 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 Citroën DS5 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.

New Citroën DS5 is more compact,

slightly higher than a normal saloon.

Everything is condensed. It highlights

the monolith aspect.

We’ve positioned Citroën DS5 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 NEW CITROËN DS5’S 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 NEW CITROËN DS5’S PURITY OF LINE.

UNMISTAKABLY DS

From every angle, new Citroën DS5 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 Citroën DS5, 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 NEW CITROËN DS5. IT’S A

BLEND OF INNOVATION AND TRADITION.

SUPPLE LEATHER COVERS THE SEATS ON DSPORT MODELS, 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 NEW

CITROËN DS5’S 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 models, 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 new Citroën DS5. The beautiful, ‘watch

strap’ seat design in ne grain ‘Club’ leather, optional on

DStyle and DSport, offers a special welcome and a new

interpretation of luxury.
