, including new front and headlights looks, an image that, according to Citroën, will be incorporated in future DS models. The French brand describes the new DS5 design elements as "expressive and hypnotic" and for the first time in the new front grille will feature the DS badge instead of the traditional Citroën chevron.

The rear was also renewed with dual exhaust pipes embedded in the redesigned bumper. The boot capacity was also increased to 468 liters, 1290 liters with the seats folded.

New in the DS5 is the introduction of the new Touchdrive infotainment system that allowed the center console of the new model to get a buttonless look. The presence of the Mirror-Link technology also eases the integration of smartphones.

At launch the engine range will consist of six engines, including the Hybrid 4x4 (the new name of Hybrid4 version) engine. All engines will meet the Euro6 emissions standards.
