The Citroen DS5 is the third ‘DS’ offering from Citroen and is aimed at the executive segment — putting it up against models like the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. But the Citroen offers something different. It looks like a mix between an estate and a hatchback with a jacked-up ride height and boasts styling that’s certain to turn heads. The interior is top-notch too with options like watch-strap leather sats and aircraft style switches that sit above the driver’s head. It’s a real step up in quality and style compared to Citroens of the past. Underneath the bonnet, the most important powertrain is the Hybrid4 which — on some models claims tax-free CO2 emissions and impressive performance. A 1.6-litre diesel with 109bhp and a non-hybrid version of the 2.0 HDi also feature. The petrol options — both 1.6s — put out 153bhp and 197bhp.
