POWER & PERFORMANCE

DS5’s compact and agile design delivers exemplary handling for a thoroughly engaging driving experience. Dynamically tuned, the precise and direct steering gives drivers the immediate sensation of total and accurate control.

Confident and reassuring, DS5 features active safety equipment (EBD, EBA, ABS, ESP, intelligent traction control) and powerful brakes - thanks in particular to 340mm diameter front discs on most versions.

DS5 is available from launch with a choice of four refined and efficient Euro V engines - THP 200, e-HDi 110, HDi 160 and the new 200bhp diesel electric Hybrid4.

The e-HDi 110 Airdream features new-generation Stop & Start micro-hybrid technology that reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 15% when driving in congested urban areas. The turbocharged, direct injection petrol engine, co-developed with BMW, delivers enjoyable power and performance.

All powerplants are mated to either manual, automatic or EGS six-speed gearboxes.

HYBRID4

DS5 is the first Citroën fitted with Hybrid4 technology. The innovative system delivers outstanding performance and low CO₂ emissions from just 99g/km.  Hybrid4 offers financial benefits to both retail and business customers in addition to the impressive fuel economy. The sub-100g/km CO₂ model is exempt from VED, the London congestion charge and, for business users, the BiK tax rate is just 10%.

Hybrid4 combines several technologies including:

• A refined 2.0HDi 160 diesel engine delivering 163bhp

• A permanent-magnet synchronous 27kW (37bhp) electric motor fitted on the rear axle

• A Power Train Management Unit, automatically managing the operating modes of the diesel engine and electric motor to achieve the best possible fuel economy

• A Stop & Start system with a second-generation reversible alternator

• An automated manual 6-speed gearbox with optimised shifts

Drivers can select from four different operating modes:

1. AUTO - Activated by default on start up, the Auto mode optimises fuel consumption by automatically switching between the diesel engine and the electric motor.

2. ZEV - For speeds up to 60km/h (37mph), the Zero Emissions Vehicle mode enables the car to be driven using the electric motor only.

3. SPORT - This mode uses the electric motor in tandem with the diesel engine to provide extra power when the driver requires more responsive acceleration.

4. 4WD - On rough ground or in low-grip conditions, the 4WD mode increases traction delivering power through all four wheels. The front wheels are powered by the diesel engine, the rear wheels by the electric motor.
