Citroen Releases More Information on Hybrid DS5

Feb 6 2012 Citroen Releases More Information on Hybrid DS5 Image

CITROEN has published the technical specifications and pricing of the much anticipated DS5 model – the first one in the Citroen line-up to utilise hybrid technology.

The new model is the latest addition to the company’s upmarket DS brand and it will, for the first time, put Citroen in the premium executive market sector.  The car has five full-sized seats, five doors and a luggage capacity of 465 litres.

The French car manufacturer hopes that the DS5 will provide business buyers with the perfect mix of space, quality and fuel economy.  It will compete directly with the AUDI A4, VAUXHALL Insignia and VOLKSWAGEN Passat in this regard.  Family buyers, most of whom will probably make use of car loan packages, will most likely also be impressed with the new model.

As far as powertrains are concerned, the DS5 will come with a choice of four different engines: a 200bhp electric/diesel Hybrid4, a THP200, A HDi 160 and an e-HDi 110.

The hybrid model uses a 37bhp electric engine fitted to the rear axle combined with a 2.0 HDi diesel engine with a power output of 163bhp.  Thanks to the combination of electric power and diesel economy the Hybrid4 DS5 will have CO2 emission figures of only 99g/km.  This means it will be exempt for the London VED congestion charges.  Business users will like the fact that the car’s BiK tax rate will be only 10%.

The DS5 can already be ordered and first deliveries will be at the beginning of April.
