Citroen DS5 for World Design Car of the Year Award

Tweet The Citroen DS5 is the third model to rise from the DS range and Citroen seems to have done something right with the new Citroen DS5. The superb styling of the DS5 is something to look at and it’s no surprise then that the DS5 is in the running for the World Design Car of the Year Award, with the winners being announced at the New York International Auto Show this week.

The road to victory won’t be easy though as the Citroen DS5 will be going head to head with the Land Rover Evoque and the Volkswagen Up!. There’s no doubt that this will be a tough decision to make but the DS5 may just have what it takes.

The DS5 range is the first Citroën model to feature HYbrid4 diesel hybrid technology, providing enhanced performance with a CO2 emission of 99g / km. The advanced HYbrid4 system delivers 149kW with four-wheel drive capability with an acceleration boost function for the open road.

The interior is classy and modern, offering drivers the best that Citroen has to offer and proves to be a smooth, effortless ride on the road. The Citroen DS5 also offers heaps of space with a 465 litre boot compartment and seats five people comfortably.

The Citroen DS5 will be available in South Africa in mid 2012.

Do you think the Citroen DS5 has what it takes to win the World Design Car of the Year Award?
