Introducing Citroen's DS High Rider Citroen’s DS HIGH RIDER is the second concept associated with Citroën’s innovative and distinctively styled DS model line, which will make its New Zealand debut in August when the Citroen DS3 arrives.
The DS HIGH RIDER represents a bold and radical vision of the future, combining compact dimensions with generous internal volumes, dynamic performance, sophisticated style and consummate quality.
Unlike traditional 4-seater coupés, with their long, low design, the DS HIGH RIDER is compact and muscular.
Planted firmly on 19” alloy wheels, DS HIGH RIDER’s front end is purposeful with gaping air intakes, long incisive headlights and defined ridges along the bonnet.
DS HIGH RIDER is an expression of automotive luxury and elegance - exemplified by its glossy golden paintwork and brushed chrome trim that accentuate the car’s flowing lines. The roof is covered with a coated textile material - a tactile feature of quality.
Just 4.26m long, 1.82m wide & 1.48m high, DS HIGH RIDER combines a neat and nimble chassis, for responsive handling, with intelligent design architecture that provides occupants with a generous amount of internal space.
DS HIGH RIDER’s ability to rise above conventional design constraints is also reflected in its choice of power - an advanced ‘Full Hybrid’ diesel drivetrain which combines a refined HDi DPFS engine under the bonnet with an electric motor located on the rear axle.
The hybrid platform enables DS HIGH RIDER to combine the fuel efficiency and power of an HDi diesel engine with the ecological benefits of a new generation electric ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle). Under certain conditions, both engines combine to deliver additional power with additional torque transmitted to the rear wheels.
