DS will develop its SUV offering with an all-new crossover that will slot in between the baby DS three Crossback and flagship DS 7 Crossback, and to prove it we have already caught the newcomer on digicam for the very initially time. 

Set to be released to the Uk market in 2021, this new crossover is larger in dimensions than the DS three Crossback and will be a far more natural rival for posh SUVs like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes GLA and the Volvo XC40.

DS has promoted a car of this dimensions ahead of, in the type of the DS four. As this sort of, this new addition could effectively acquire on the name DS four Crossback.

Since it has substantially in frequent with the flagship DS 7, we anticipate the DS four Crossback to share most of the even bigger SUV’s motor line-up, together with its advanced E-Tense plug-in hybrid powertrain.

That signifies, on the petrol facet, the motor variety will kick off with a modest 1.two-litre turbocharged three-cylinder and develop to include a larger 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbo that could deliver all-around 220bhp.

Which is mentioned, an evolution of the EMP2 with whole EV compatibility is in the pipeline, and is predicted to debut beneath a new flagship Citroen saloon next calendar year.
