DS Automobiles DS5 Price Guide

The DS5 under DS Automobiles branding (2015–2018) represents the final years of the car first launched as a Citroën DS5 in 2012. The DS5 was the most technically ambitious early DS model, with a hybrid4 plug-in hybrid system and a diesel hybrid combination that was genuinely ahead of its time at launch.

The Car

The DS Automobiles DS5 carried over from the Citroën era with 1.2 PureTech, 1.6 THP petrol, and 2.0 BlueHDi diesel engines alongside the hybrid4 system combining a 1.6 THP with an electric motor for 200bhp total output. The large-format panoramic windscreen extending into the roof was the car’s most distinctive design feature. The interior used leather and chrome to create a premium ambiance that was more convincing than most PSA products of the era. Production ended in 2018 when the DS4 successor entered development.

Buying

The hybrid4 is the most characterful DS5 as the combination of diesel front and electric rear drive was genuinely unusual and genuinely effective. The 2.0 BlueHDi 180 is the practical daily choice. The DS Automobiles DS5 is now affordable used transport with a level of technology and interior quality that was ahead of its time. Check hybrid battery health on hybrid4 examples.
