Citroen planning DS-badged crossover - Automobile News

The DS name indicates that Citroën's crossover will be positioned higher up on the market than its Peugeot-badged sibling. While the 2008 is aimed at the Nissan Juke and the Renault Captur, the DSX will take on the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class, the Audi Q5 and the BMW X3.



Official technical details are not currently available but a report published in French magazine Auto Plus reveals that the DSX will inaugurate PSA's first gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain. The company's existing diesel-electric HYbrid4 system will also be available, while entry-level models will be offered with a host of gasoline- and diesel-burning four-cylinder engines.

Although the two hybrid models will feature four-wheel drive, less expensive variants will only be available with front-wheel drive.

The production version of the Citroen DSX will bow at the Frankfurt Motor Show and it will go on sale in China and in Europe in early 2014.
