Detailed analysis of the DS 5 BlueHDi 120 S&S Desire · 120 CV (2015-2018)
General description
The DS 5 is more than a car; it's a statement of intent, a rolling sculpture that challenged the conventions of the premium segment in 2015. Born under the wing of Citroën and emancipated as the flagship of the new DS brand, this vehicle embodies French luxury, audacity, and avant-garde spirit, offering an emotional alternative to Germanic sobriety.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 5 with its 120 HP BlueHDi engine envelops you in an atmosphere of serenity and comfort. It doesn't seek acceleration records but rather to devour kilometers with astonishing efficiency and exquisite smoothness. Its suspension filters out road imperfections, inviting you on a relaxed journey, while the aeronautics-inspired cockpit makes you feel like the captain of a very special vessel. It's a driving experience that prioritizes well-being and the pleasure of the journey over adrenaline.
Design and aesthetics
Design is the soul of the DS 5. Its body, a hypnotic fusion of a sedan and a wagon, breaks the mold with muscular lines and unique details like the chrome 'sabre' that runs along the side. But it's inside where the magic explodes: a 'cockpit' style cabin with a roof console that divides the space, noble materials, and an attention to detail that transports you to a world of haute couture. Sitting in it is an event, an experience that appeals directly to the senses and the heart.
Technology and features
For its time, the DS 5 was a technological showcase. Features like the color Head-Up Display, the central touchscreen, and the roof-mounted controls created a futuristic and immersive human-machine interaction. Under the hood, the BlueHDi engine with Stop & Start system represented a firm commitment to efficiency and environmental respect, complying with Euro 6 standards with extraordinarily low fuel consumption, without sacrificing a capable response for daily driving.
Competition
The DS 5 played in its own league, a territory where style prevailed over tradition. It faced German premium sedans like the Audi A4 or the BMW 3 Series, but not by competing on their turf, but by offering a radically different approach. Its true rival was indifference; it was a car for those looking to stand out, finding more in common with bold design proposals like the Volvo V40 or the Volkswagen CC than with classic sedans.
Conclusion
The DS 5 BlueHDi 120 is a passionate choice, a car for those who understand that luxury is not just about power or space, but also design, originality, and the thrill of driving something unique. It is a functional, efficient, and comfortable work of art that turns every trip into a memorable experience. It's not the most practical or the sportiest, but its ability to make you feel special is unparalleled. A gem for the driver who values beauty and distinction above all else.
