After a public debut at Top Gear Live in November, the Citroen DS5 is ready for UK launch. Price & specs – starts at £22,400. It’s getting on for three years since we first reported that the Hypnos Concept would arrive as the Citroen DS5, and that there would be a hybrid Citroen DS5 by 2011. [...]
The Citroën DS3 Ultra Prestige has been revealed with a host of luxury extras and a choice of petrol or diesel engines. If you want a properly good little car, there is nothing much better on the market than the Citroen Ds3. It looks good, it’s great to drive and it’s help make Citroen’s seemingly cynical revival of [...]
Citroen has given the C1 a facelift for 2012 to match the one given to the Peugeot 107, with better economy and emissions and cosmetic tweaks. The 2012 Citroen C1 Facelift pretty much follows the same pattern as sister PSA sibling the 2012 Peugeot 107, with tweaks to improve emissions and economy and some cosmetic [...]
2012 looks set to be another busy year for Citroen, with the new C1 revealed at Brussels in January and a DS1 at Geneva in March. Citroen has certainly found its mojo again in the last couple of years, particularly with the very persuasive range of DS cars. And now it looks like we’re soon to get [...]
With the Citroen DS5 heading for Citroen showrooms in 2012, Citroen UK has got all arty with ‘Cinemagraph’ images of the DS5. The new Citroen DS5 is rapidly heading towards a showroom near you after its production-ready debut at Frankfurt in December (and its first UK viewing at the Top Gear Live shows this month). So Citroen [...]
It’s been confirmed that diesel hybrid cars will not suffer the 3% BIK penalty for company car drivers – good news for Volvo, Citroen & Peugeot. As a company car driver the Inland Revenue gets its cut no matter what. With BIK rates set based on CO2 emissions and list price, it’s hard to find [...]
Citroen has revealed its lowest emitting car – the C3 e-HDi 70 Airdream EGS VTR+ – which emits just 87g/km CO2 and does 83.1mpg and cost £15,290. You do have to wonder sometimes just how much we actually need expensive technology like hybrid powertrains and EVs when cars with conventional ICE engines can manage ridiculous mpg [...]
PSA – Peugeot Citroen – is to suspend production at its Slovak factory in Trnava, Western Slovakia, because of falling orders. The news that Peugeot Citroen (PSA) is to suspend production at its factory in Trnava, Western Slovakia, as orders for cars fall away, is another sign of the impending gloom in the Euro zone car industry. PSA [...]
Citroen has announced that UK drivers will get their first chance to see the new Citroen DS5 at the TOP Gear Live shows in London and Birmingham. The latest iteration of Citroen’s recreation of the iconic DS moniker – the Citroen DS5 – made a production-ready debut at Frankfurt last month, and now UK drivers will be getting their first chance [...]
Citroen has revealed the rufty-tufty Citroen C4 Aircross, just a day after we got the first tease for the new Aircross. That didn’t take long, did it? We thought we were in for the long haul of another daft tease from a car maker after we got the first tease shot of the Citroen C4 Aircross yesterday. [...]
Citroen has sent us a tease photo of a new Citroen – the Citroen C4 Aircross – which could be an Allroad version of the C4. We weren’t expecting the teaser photo we had for a new Citroen this morning – the Citroen C4 Aircross. So what is it? The logical assumption is that it’s going to [...]
With the 2012 Citroen DS5 turning up at Frankfurt production-ready, we now have a promo video for Citroen’s latest DS model. There have been lots of models in Citroen’s history that have been game changers. The 2CV was the affordable workhorse for generations and the DS stunned the world with its elegance and sophistication. But [...]
The 2011 Women’s World Car of the Year has been a split decision, with the panel declaring the Citroen DS3 & BMW 5-Series joint winners. We’ll decline to question too much what the response would be if a panel of male motoring writers voted for a ‘Man’s World Car of the Year Award’. Although we’d speculate that most women [...]
The Citroen Tubik Concept – heading for Frankfurt – is a futuristic take on an MPV which Citroen say will make travel fun for executives. The Citroen Tubik is a slightly bonkers concept from Citroen that’s heading to the Frankfurt Motor Show in a week or so. But it does have possibilities as a production car. Looking like [...]
The Citroen DS5 will be at Frankfurt in September in production-ready guise and with PSA’s HYbrid4 drivetrain. On sale early 2012 The Citroen DS5 debuted at Shanghai earlier this year – after a suitable tease, of course – but is arriving at Frankfurt as a production-ready car. Not that we can work out what Citroen [...]
Citroen are celebrating selling 100,000 DS3s – 10,000 of them in the UK – with new colour options, including a Fuchsia Pink Roof. We love the Citroen DS3; it’s the best car in its sector by a surprisingly long way, and winner of our ‘Best car if you’re paying for it Yourself‘ Award. It’s also Top Gear and Fifth Gear’s favourite [...]
Citroen has revealed prices and models for the UK for the next instalment in the Citroen DS revival – the Citroen DS4. The Citroen DS4 has already been voted ‘Most Beautiful Car of the Year‘, despite not even being on sale yet. It’s a bit like the LEAF being voted Car of the Year before it’s actually got in to [...]
Citroen are taking the DS4, DS3 R3, Survolt, Hypnos and DS3 WRC to Goodwood FoS, with the DS4 and DS3 Racing available to drive at the MMS. We’ve already had a wave of Goodwood Festival of Speed announcements on cars getting their UK debut, from the Jaguar XKR-S to the Mugen Honda CR-Z. And now it’s Citroen’s turn [...]
Citroen is recalling more than 20,000 UK Citroen C3 Picasso models after it was discovered a fault – revealed by BBC Watchdog – could let the passenger apply the brakes My dad, who was at one point in his career a police driving instructor, could never be just a passenger in a car, whoever was driving. As a [...]
It’s being reported that the Citroen DS3 convertible will arrive in 2013 with a Fiat 500-style sliding cloth roof and a new name – the Citroen DS3 AirFlow. As regular readers can’t have failed to notice over the last year or so, the Citroen DS3 is one of our favourite cars. In fact so good is the DS3 [...]
Citroen has revealed the Citroen DS5 – complete with Hybrid4 powertrain – which appears to be as convincing an upmarket Citroen as the DS3. We had the arrival of the Citroen DS5 trumpeted as long ago as 2009 when we revealed that the DS5 would arrive in 2009, complete with hybrid diesel powertrain. Despite the official debut [...]
Citroen has started the tease for the next instalment in the DS Range – the Citroen DS5 – which will launch at the Shanghai Motor Show. Yet another new car being teased in the run up to the Shanghai Motor Show, and this time it’s instalment number three in the new Citroen DS range – [...]
Auto Bild are reporting that Citroen are planning a Citroen DS2 to be the new Citroen 2CV. Which makes no sense. We’re still not completely sure how the Citroen DS2 fits in to the Citroen range, even though this is a story we reported on back in 2009. We’d heard that Citroen were to create a 21st [...]
Citroen are making the most of the accolades the DS3 has received, in particular the Top Gear Car of the Year Award. Those who don’t ‘Get’ cars like to call us Petrolheads. They think it’s a disparaging term. But it’s not. They also think that being a Petrolhead means you’re only interested in the fastest; [...]
The Citroen DS4 doesn’t launch until later in 2011, but has already been voted ‘Most Beautiful Car of the Year’. Despite our original scepticism about the resurrection of the iconic (a word too easily bandied around – but appropriate here) ‘Goddess’ moniker for a new range of Citroens, the Citroen DS3 bowled us over both [...]
