VIDEO: New Citroen, sorry, DS 5 is aiming high

The new DS 5 is the first standalone ‘DS’ model to be launched. It might be made by Citroen, but it is now officially simply a DS.

The new model is now officially on sale here and, in the circumstances, it was interesting to note that the press release heralding the DS 5 bore no mention whatsoever of the parent company.

Its manufacturer — Citroen, but whisper it — tell us the new car is defined by its avant-garde styling and it combines dynamic performance, refinement and attention to detail with a range of advanced technologies.
