Citroën DS 1955 - 1975

The Citroën DS is a French automotive icon launched in 1955, embodying the technological avant-garde and singular design that marked Citroën DS history for more than seven decades. A true revolution in the luxury and prestige sedan market, this model established itself against competitors such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW Series 7, by proposing a unique philosophy combining exceptional hydropneumatic comfort, innovative aerodynamic silhouette and avant-garde mechanical innovations. Citroën DS generations succeeded each other in four distinct phases: the classic DS (1955-1975) with its revolutionary suspension and futuristic bodywork, the Citroën CX (1974-1991) which perpetuated the avant-garde heritage, then the temporary absence of the badge before its return in 2009 with the trendy compact Citroën DS3, followed by the launch of the DS5 in 2011 as a premium sedan. Today, the Citroën DS range is built around distinctive high-end vehicles, from the electric SUV DS3 Crossback E-Tense to the DS4 sedan, offering a refined alternative to established German brands through recognizable French design, advanced onboard technology and differentiated premium positioning. Each Citroën DS model technical sheet reflects this commitment to French originality and sophisticated comfort, perpetuating the DNA of a brand that has always dared to defy established automotive industry codes.
