Citroen Unveils The Latest DS Line Addition: The DS 5LS
Citroën yesterday unveiled the latest addition to its DS line – DS 5LS. Presented to the international press at the Carrousel du Louvre, one of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, DS 5LS is a luxury saloon which will go on sale in China in March 2014. The second DS model to be produced at the Chinese Shenzen plant, DS 5LS marks a further step in the development of the DS brand in this key market. The luxury saloon introduces DS’s new front end – a design inspired by the Numero 9 and Wild Rubis concept cars. This, together with a prestigious, sculpted grille, named ‘DS Wings’ – a nod to DS of 1955 – and boomerang-shaped Daytime Running Lights, creates a dynamic and distinctive look. The profile of DS 5LS is both understated and refined as it boasts an elegant silhouette, thanks to a signature chrome side trim, extending from the windows to the boot. This chrome trim traces a subtle shark fin shape across the rear side panel, a typical style feature of DS models.
The dynamism of DS 5LS is further enhanced by a wide-track stance, combined with large wheels. Unique LED lamps, which offer a 3D accent thanks to a chrome ring inset within the glass, add to the saloon’s striking rear end.
The Chinese-built model also contributes to an easier driving experience, with keyless access and start, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, as well as a complete range of multimedia systems.
DS 5LS incorporates the latest technologies, including engines like the THP 160 and THP 200 which feature sequential direct injection, fed by a high-pressure pump, as well as Twin Scroll turbo compressors. Paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox, these engines deliver excellent performance to complement the styling of DS 5LS.
DS 5LS will be available in nine body colours, including Nocciola Brown, an original colour with subtle, shimmering highlights. Take a closer look at the DS 5LS in our gallery.
