This is the latest addition to the Citroen DS range - the Citroen DS 5LS, and it is for the moment only for the China market. It's the first sedan in the range, which until now has been full of hatchbacks. An SUV will be launched in 2014.

The Citroen DS 5LS - which Citroen classifies as a C-segment car - measures 4,700mm long by 1,840mm wide by 1,500mm tall, with a 2,710mm wheelbase. It's design is inspired by the Numero 9 and Wild Rubis concepts. It features a new grille called 'DS Wings', which Citroen says is a nod to the original 1955 DS.

Features include a choice of nine body colours, keyless access and start, blind spot monitoring, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, as well as a complete range of multimedia systems. Engine options include THP160 and THP200 versions of Citroen's 1.6 litre turbo engine, mated to 6-speed automatics.
