The Citroen DS5 is the third ‘DS’ offering from Citroen and is aimed at the executive customer – putting it up against models like the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. But unlike its less exclusive rivals, the Citroen offers something different. Its appearance is a mix between an estate and a hatchback, and its raised ride height and distinctive styling are certain to turn heads. The interior is top-notch, too, with options like watch-strap leather seats and aircraft-style switches that sit above the driver's head. It's a real step up in quality and style compared to Citroens of the past and has the ability to challenge premium rivals like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4.
