Citroen DS4 and DS5: new details

French automakers Citroen continues to issue the limited information on its new premium models DS4 and DS5. Recently it became known that the mass production of cars will begin in 2011.

According to the edition of Autocar, under the hood of the DS4 and DS5 are install engines from Citroen C4 and C5 models. In addition, DS4, which largely repeated the idea embodied in the concept car C-Sportlounge, will be available in four versions of a compact crossover with notes of sport in the external design. Citroen DS4 is already positioned as a competitor to its “fellow” Peugeot 3008 models.

Model C-Sportlounge is not the “fresh” concept of the French company. It was presented in 2005 at Frankfurt Motor Show.

In the design of the DS5 model enshrine appearance parts of conceptual Citroen Hypnos, shown in the last Motor Show in Paris. This masthead DS model line will be, perhaps, the diesel-hybrid drive.

And while up to serial production DS4 and DS5 are still a few years, the French company is ready to present the first representative of a new family the model DS3. The debut of ready-to-start car sales will take place at the next Auto Show in Frankfurt. Citroen will also bring to the show the updated model C3.
