Citroen has decided that the DS5 is not clean enough, and they have updated it recently, in order to drop its emissions figure slightly - they have succeeded. It now gets new and improved battery management software, which makes the whole hybrid powertrain run more efficiently.
This is a similar improvement to that applied to the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4, shown at the Paris Motor Show, this year. With the update, the emissions of the DS5 DSign model drop from 99 g/km of CO2, to 91 g/km, while DStyle and DSport versions see a reduction from 107 g/km, to 102 g/km.
Buyers of the latter two versions can opt for smaller 17-inch wheels, instead of the standard 18-inch models, which cut emissions even further, from 102 g/km to 91 g/km. Pricing and other details regarding the DS5 remain unchanged, yet after testing it a while back, we would recommend the simpler, cheaper and lighter 2.0-liter HDI, with 163 hp, and not this overly-complicated hybrid, which currently doesn’t justify itself too much.
