The concept car DS Inside was first seen in March 2009 at the Geneva Motor Show. This time around, DS stands for “Different Spirit” and the concept car is the start of a brand models to be aptly called DS3, DS4, and DS5. Take note that this hints us that there are bigger models in the Citroen drawing boards. The first of the DS models is the DS3 whose prototype has been spotted, photographed, and tested. The DS3 will make its debut appearance at the Motor Show in Frankfurt this coming September.

Citroen confirmed that the DS4 and DS5 models will be available in 2011 with a hybrid diesel-electric model is an option to be noted. According to a report in Autocar, the DS4 and DS5 models are related to the C4 and C5 models in terms of mechanical components. However, the DS4 and DS5 models would be easily distinguished compared to the DS3 with the C3.

The DS4 will bear a few elements from the 2002 version of the C-Sportloung, while DS5 with the 2008 Hypnos. The DS4 will go after the Peugeot 3008 and Nissan Qashqai, while its bigger brother, DS5 will aim for the BMW’s X6.
