The DS 5 is a large family hatchback created to bring a bit of French flair to everyday motoring. People are drawn to it for its unique features, standout shape and premium interior details, inspired by the likes of the watchmaking and aerospace industries. First launched in 2011 as the Citroën DS5, it became the DS 5 in 2015, after Citroën spun off the DS brand. UK sales ran until 2018. Though it competes with classics like the Audi A4 or BMW 3 Series, the DS 5 definitely takes a bolder approach with sculpted seats, a dramatic dashboard and eye-catching chrome. Most models come well-equipped, with luxurious massage seats on higher specs.
