About the DS5

The Citroen DS5 is one of several in its lineup that started out as part of the Citroen family before breaking away to become part of the new and independent DS brand in 2015. The DS5 was initially launched in 2011, and enjoyed a 7-year production run to 2018 before being replaced by the DS 4 II and DS 9. In 2015, the Citroen name was dropped, and it became simply the DS 5.

The exterior design of the DS5 was initially very well received, with some reviewers remarking on how it looked more like an uber-stylish concept car in many ways, and wasn’t generally what was expected from a higher-end family car. Detailing like strong creases in the exterior body, as well as pure metal interior door handles, all contributed to this unique image.

Features included sat-nav, reversing camera, Bluetooth connectivity, sunroof, USB ports, and more. There is also a large trunk, with rear seats that fold down completely flat, which helps make loading and unloading much easier when you’re carrying a lot of stuff.

The Citroen DS5 was initially offered with turbo gasoline, diesel, and hybrid powertrain options. Neither the gasoline or hybrid were well received because of their fuel thirst and lack of performance luster respectively. The diesel, on the other hand, became a very popular model combining performance with efficiency (around 47-mpg). That’s pretty important in the European market where the Citroen DS5 was sold, since fuel prices are generally so high.

The DS5 was generally purchased as a city-friendly car because of its efficiency and stylish looks, and also as a highway-friendly cruiser thanks to that same fuel efficiency. On smaller, tighter, country roads, however, the car was less nimble than some of its sporty hot hatch counterparts, nor than some of its more direct high-end rivals from BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
