By means of a pair of teasers prepared to Citroen for the DS5 LS, a new member in the DS-line, especially for China. Just we got the first images of the LS, which is also the first DS-with-ass.

There is still nothing official, so more than appearance, we are not at this time. The photos emerged at Top Gear UK, but are now again taken offline. Our reader Frederik intercepted, however, there is a few, so here goes. Thanks!

UPDATE 1 – Now is all of the information available to the public. The DS 5LS (L : 4,70 m x W :1,84 m x H :1.50 m) will be manufactured in the factory of Shenzhen in China. The introduction is scheduled for march 2014.

The DS 5LS reveals the new front of the DS-line, which is directly inspired by the concept cars Numéro 9 and Wild Rubis. Remarkably, the so-called ” DS Wings “, in which the nose of the car with the headlights connect by chrome elements. On the front is the DS logo affixed, in place of the classic chevron. The question is whether we also with other DS’and go see it. It wouldn’t surprise me, as Citroën tries the line more to make it more independent.

The chromed elements are also present on the windows and walk through to the trunk. In the DS 5LS are a THP 160 or a THP 200 engine. You can get it with automatic transmission and manual ordering, both with 6 gears.

UPDATE 2 – China is DS as a separate brand in the market, hence the logos. In a response late Anne Lobbes of Citroën Nederland to know not to expect this also in Europe is going to happen.
