The new generation DS 5 is an upgrade from the DS brand, the new stand-alone brand from Citroën. The Citroën team claims that the new DS 5 is the embodiment of the DS Automobiles brand. The impressive looking entry level DS 5 Elegance BlueHDi 120 Manual Euro 6 model comes with a 1.6 litre turbo-diesel engine and has a list price of €36,045 before delivery charges.

The new car has a new front end design, new DS Automobiles branding, a range of new features, new trim levels and the latest Euro 6 engines. It is available in two trim levels – Elegance & Prestige and with three BlueHDi diesel engine options and a new Euro 6 compliant Hybrid 4x4 drive.

Sixty years on from the unveiling of the original DS at the 1955 Paris Motor Show, a new DS 5 1955 Limited Edition will also be available to celebrate the occasion. Specified in a new Ink Blue body colour only, it comes with unique 1955 badging.
