Citroën’s brand new flagship, the DS5, has been voted ‘Design of the Year - Production Car’ by Car Design News.
Just two ‘Car Design of the Year’ accolades are awarded each year - one to a production car and one to a concept. The winning designs are selected from a shortlist by the readers of Car Design News, the leading online resource for automotive design professionals. For the sixth year running, the design community was asked to select the designs that impressed them the most. The award was announced on 6 March at the Geneva Motor Show.
The Citroen DS5, which arrives in New Zealand in the middle of this year, received almost a quarter of the near 4,000 votes cast, making the distinctive new Citroën a clear winner in the production car category - ahead of its nearest rival the Lamborghini Aventador.
Owen Ready, Editor of Car Design News, commented: “The Car Design News Car Design of the Year Award is voted for by car design professionals making this a rare opportunity for those in the industry to show their appreciation for the work of their peers. It's easy to see why Citroën DS5's design attracted almost a quarter of the votes in the production car category. Both inside and out it’s bold, vibrant and idiosyncratic with a rich mix of materials and exciting design solutions. From its distinctive proportions to its genuinely special cabin, the DS5 marks Citroën out as one of the most exciting brands around”
The new Citroën DS5 is the latest addition to the stylish and distinctive DS line. With its innovative styling, sophisticated materials and exceptional design, DS5 showcases the very best of Citroën’s ‘Créative Technologie’.
