When is a Citroen not a Citroen?

FOR reasons which are not exactly clear, the car previously known as the Citroen DS5 is now called the DS 5 and is apparently the "embodiment of the DS Automobiles brand".

Citroen has sold its DS3, DS4 and DS5 models for some time, and one imagines it would have been a little easier to persuade people that 'DS Automobiles' was a new company if it had a brand new model to carry the badge and standalone dealers.

As it is, the DS 5 benefits only from "a new front end design, new DS Automobiles branding, a range of new features, new trim levels and the latest Euro 6 engines".

Prices start at £26,980 and stretch to £34,890.
