Citroen DS5

The Citroen DS5 sits in a class of its own. It's somewhere between an estate, a hatchback and an MPV providing a spacious cabin, high-riding driving position and stylish design. It's the third of Citroen's 'DS' range of cars which offer something slightly different to the rest of Citroen's range. The cabin is one of the most stylish at this price bracket and build quality feels top-notch too.  Engine choices range from an entry level 1.6-litre petrol unit 153bhp to a range-topping all-wheel drive diesel-electric hybrid set-up with 200bhp.
