No Citroën DS5 at the stand of Citroën, the Frenchman is the first DS with the brand name Citroën is vervalen. And so did DS this year his own spot. In addition to Citroën, of course, but it is really not a Citroen!

They build really frantic Citroëns, are suddenly no Citroëns more… In 2014 it was decided the DS-line los to weeks of the brand with the double chevrons. The DS Divine Concept showed last year to see how that would look like, a Citroën-less nose, the facelifted DS5 brings it in practice.

On the show floor is a in ‘Moon Dust’ painted copy. We simply call matt dark grey, but that aside. The nose is similar to that of the DS 6WR, a for the Chinese market, intended SUV that we in Europe are not in the showroom. There is DS already as a Citroën detached brand lined.

It may be for the car enthusiast no surprise where the name DS comes from. In 1955, allowed Citroën the car in the vernacular of The Pike is called to see to the public. The first day at the fair, there were less than 12,000 and sold, even for the customers there is also but one meter driven. After ten days had Citroën even 80.000 orders in the bag. With a small and a larger facelift kept the DS eventually 1975 vol.
