Detailed analysis of the DS 5 BlueHDi 120 Desire · 120 CV (2014-2015)
General description
The DS 5 is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born in 2014 as the ultimate expression of luxury and avant-garde from the then-new DS brand, this vehicle set itself apart from the competition with a bold and deeply emotional proposal, an alternative with soul to the pragmatism of its rivals.
Driving experience
Driving the DS 5 BlueHDi 120 is an experience that envelops you in comfort and serenity. Its diesel engine, with a generous 300 Nm of torque, offers a smooth and decisive response, ideal for long highway trips where the car demonstrates exceptional poise and ride quality. It doesn't seek sporty explosiveness, but the pleasure of traveling in a bubble of tranquility and design, making every journey a special and relaxing moment.
Design and aesthetics
Design is the raison d'être of the DS 5. It is a sculpture on wheels, a daring mix between a sedan and a 'shooting brake' that still looks futuristic today. The iconic chrome sabers flowing from the headlights to the A-pillar are an unforgettable signature. But it is inside where the magic explodes: a cockpit inspired by aeronautics, with a roof console, aviator-style buttons, and a driving position that embraces you. It's a unique atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a concept car from a motor show.
Technology and features
For its year, the DS 5 integrated advanced technology focused on efficiency and comfort. The Stop & Start system was key to achieving its extraordinarily low fuel consumption. The cabin could feature elements like the color Head-Up Display and a central touchscreen that grouped the main functions, creating a clean and modern environment. The electro-hydraulic power steering provided a sense of control and refinement in all circumstances.
Competition
The DS 5 moved in its own territory, challenging established categories. More than a direct rival to sedans like the Audi A4 or the BMW 3 Series, it was an alternative for the buyer of these models who was looking for something radically different. Due to its concept and style, it could be compared to cars like the Volvo V60 or even the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, against which the DS 5 played the card of an absolutely incomparable exterior and interior design.
Conclusion
The DS 5 is a purely passionate purchase. It is a car for those who value art, audacity, and distinction above all else. It is not the most practical or the sportiest, but in return, it offers a daily dose of beauty and exclusivity that no other vehicle in its class can match. It is a statement of individuality, a gem of French automotive design that makes you feel special every time you take the wheel.
