New Citroën DS5

Prepare for impending teasing over the next few days as Citroën has released the first in a likely series of preview images of the third member in its distinctive line of DS models, the DS5, which will receive its world premiere on 18 April at the Shanghai International Motor Show.
Aside from the image pictured above, the French carmaker is keeping mum on all the details simply stating that the “DS5 is set to bring distinctive new elegance and panache to the executive class”.

It is believed that the new DS5 will be based on the architecture of Citroën’s C5 mid-size model with engine options including the PSA Citroën-Peugeot group’s Hybrid4 diesel-electric hybrid powertrain.
The DS lineup was inaugurated in 2009 with the launch of the DS3 supermini, while Citroën expanded the range with the introduction of the DS4, a high-stance five-door hatchback, at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.

It will first go on sale in Germany this June, and shortly after to the rest of Europe. Audi has not yet decided if it will bring the Q3 to North America.
In European guise, Audi’s answer to the BMW X1 will offer buyers a choice of two gasoline and two diesel engines, all of which are four-cylinder units with a 2.0-liter displacement and turbocharging technology.
