Like every other auto manufacturer, Citroen also can be recognised in first glance at the front grille with Citroen’s badge. Each model wears it, but this all-new DS 5 have a remarkable facelift, changes the story all along. So from now on, all future DS models will be wearing this new badge starting from Geneva Motor Show.
While having first glance at this ravishing new model, the first thing captures the attention is the chromed hexagonal grille which hosts the newly adopted DS logo, right in the centre. The brand new LED light signature surrounds the xenon headlight, and the wings flow straight into these xenon headlights seamlessly.

You will also find the DS badge sitting on the bonnet, inside on the door handles and on the centre console. The brilliance in design speaks for itself when you look at the top of the lights featuring a pattern, specially created from DS logo. The designing cues remain sabre and flow seamlessly from one corner of lamps to the edge of the bonnet. The overall profile has not been changed and the glitzy flame thrower rear lamps and twin exhaust pipes are still there.
Inside the car cabin, you’ll find a brilliant seven-inch touchscreen which has made it possible to lose 12 buttons. All the infotainment, sat-nav, and musicis controlled by this touchscreen. A MirrorLink allows Android smartphones screens to show up on the central screen for easy access and according to sources they also have plans for Apple CarPlay.
