The DS 5 is asubcompact executivehatchback which was designed and developed by the French automakerCitroën, and launched in the market in Europe in November 2011.[2] It was the third model in thepremium sub brandDS. Released as the Citroën DS5, the car was relaunched as the DS 5 in 2015, following Citroën's decision to rebadge its DS models and market them under the brandDS.

The DS5 was revealed at the 2011Shanghai Auto Show in April 2011. AlthoughPeugeot andCitroën products have shared platforms and principal components since the closing decades of the twentieth century, in 2011 the DS5 became the first Citroën-branded car to be assembled inPeugeot's lead European plant atSochaux.[3]
The DS5 mixeshatchback andestate styling, resembling ashooting-brake. It is 4,530 mm (178.3 in) long and 1,871 mm (73.7 in) wide, dimensions that are similar to those of theLancia Delta. This is hardly a coincidence: the DS5 is based on thePF2 platform as3008 is too, not on theC5 as its name could imply.
The DS5 fills the spot where the first generation C5 hatchback left off, as the current C5 no longer have hatchback versions. Like the originalconcept car, its interior is heavily aviation inspired and available with two centre consoles, one of which is located on the roof directly above the other.
With a head up display in front of the driver, the cabin is designed to resemble a jet aeroplane. Emphasising its link to aviation, and the originalCitroën DS model, the carmaker partnered with the C-Forum fan club to recreate an old photoshoot of the car with aConcorde.[4]
Buyers can choose between a turbocharged petrol, two diesel engines and PSA'sdiesel-electricHybrid4.[5] It marries a 163 hp 2.0 HDi diesel engine with a 37 hp (28 kW) electric motor mounted on the rear axle and sends the power to all four wheels as it is needed.
Depending on trim level, this powertrain emits 99g/km or 107g/km CO2, and the car can drive on electricity alone if the battery is sufficiently charged. It is also worth noting that the DS5 is the first Citroën with a hybrid drivetrain, and the first production car with a diesel electric hybrid drivetrain.
A hybridconvertible Citroën DS5 was chosen byFrançois Hollande, for his investiture parade asPresident of France in May 2012.[6]
The Citroën DS5 was relaunched as the DS 5, without Citroën badging, in 2015.[7]
