Citroen DS4 MPV
July 2, 2009
The appeal of MPVs is primarily the practicality that it’s supposed to give. They should seat people comfortable, they should have enough cargo space, and they should be small enough to drive around city streets. These often come with certain drawbacks like compromises in design and performance.
Citroen unveils their latest offering in the DS range – the DS4. Citroen claims that it is a “radical” MPV inspired by the C-Sportlounge concept from back in 2005. The car will be based on the C4 platform but aside from the underpinnings, the body and exterior will be new.
The initial pics provide quite a good look at how the DS4’s styled and it does look quite promising for an MPV. It might actually be an MPV that even teens can drive. The DS4 is set for a 2011 launch.
The DS5 is also expected to be launched the same year as the DS4. The car draws from last year’s Hypnos concept The DS5, however, will drop the rear-hinged doors but will most likely to retain the diesel-electric powertrain.
Citroën Announces Plans for Hybrid DS5
January 16, 2009
A month or so after Citroën announced its plans of reviving the iconic DS nameplate in 2010, the French car manufacturer said that it is going to come up with a hybrid variant for one of the models in the resurrected vehicle line.
Citroën announced last February that its revived DS line will feature three models, the DS3, DS4, and DS5. The recent announcement names the DS5 as the recipient of a possible diesel hybrid powertrain. This could be the same hybrid tech featured in the Citroën C4 WRC HYbrid 4 Concept, exhibited at the Geneva Motor Show.
The company stressed their focus for the future in their statement. The company said, “Hybrid technology takes centre stage for us now in anticipation of the development of a hybrid diesel powertrain, which will be available in the DS5 from 2011.”
It’s a update from the past with a little dash of modern technology. With the DS line being set above the company’s C line, Citroën is looking at several options that could enhance and boost the sales of its revived sub-brand. Who knows, maybe the company might even give all models hybrid alternatives.
