The new Citroen DS5 was actually revealed this April ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show, but we never got a chance to take a closer look at this exciting new member of the ‘goddess’ family.
The DS5 is a five-door hatch, with a coupe-like sloping roofline and raised driving position, that is still fairly compact in dimensions but definitely within the mid-sized segment the DS5 will compete in.

The exterior of the car borrows from the C-SportLounge concept, offering a sleek profile and muscular wheel arches give DS5 an “undoubted air of refined confidence.” At he front, there is a large air intake a large chrome-finished grille housing the chevrons and a new LED light signature.  The DS5 comes with chrome-finished ‘sabre’ inserts stretching from the top of each headlamp to the windscreen.

The French carmaker claims that its hybrid system will provide “200bhp; four-wheel drive capability; emission-free electric power for the city; and an acceleration boost function for the open road - with total CO2 emissions of just 99g/km.”

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
