Citroen DS4 Production Secrets Revealed Online

Citroen, the french manufacturer of the stylish DS range, has launched “Citroën DS4: Production Secrets”, a weekly six-part online series of documentaries on the www.ds4.citroen.com website, as well as on Facebook and Youtube. The series reveals the production and design process of the new DS4 crossover.

A new episode will be launched each Friday, in which the designers who created the new “high-stance five-door coupe” reveal each individual element of its architecture, exterior styling, interior design and driving dynamics.

The series, which was created by directors Alain Teurlai and Thierry Demaiziere, shows a clear focus on men and women who were involved in the design and the engineering of the new goddess, as the talk about the challenges they faced.

The 2011 crossover will be available in some of the major European markets with a choice of five refined and efficient Euro 5 engines, two of which are HDi diesels - a 1.6-liter HDi with 110 hp (also available as e-HDi version) and a 2.0-liter with 160 hp, both fitted with Citroen’s Diesel Particulate Filter System. The three petrols come in the form of the VTi 1.6-liter with 120 hp, and two turbocharged mills, co-developed with BMW, that produce either 155 hp or 200 hp. All engines can be coupled to a manual gearbox or the EGS six-speed automatic.

"Through this innovative new format, Citroën allows viewers into the secret world of drama, excitement and tension that exists during the build-up to releasing a new model, from the initial design concept to the vehicle launch," states the company's press release.

Prices for the DS4 start at €22,500 (GBP19,132) for the base model equipped with a 120 hp 1.6-liter petrol unit, and go up to €29,000 (GBP24,659) for the range-topping 2.0-liter HDI model.
