- In 2010 in order to compete with the premium brands, Citroen launched in Europe the DS range, starting with the C range (C3, C4, C5).

- In Europe, the Citroën C range cars and the DS range ones are marketed in the same dealers and produced in the same PSA plants.

- In China, following the advice of their local partners the DS range will be completely separated from the Citroën brand. This division means that:

§ they will be sold in separate dealer networks

§ a separate production plant will be set up via the CAPSA joint venture (newly created between PSA and Changan)

§ They will have a separate booth at the next Shanghai Motor Show alongside with Audi, BMW , Mercedes, and many others.

- A concept car foreshadowing the future leisure SUV DS-X will be unveiled at the event.

- The vehicle should be produced in 2014 alongside the DS3, DS4 and the DS5 in the CAPSA plant located in Shenzhen.

- Citroën C Series are produced in China in cooperation with another partner : Dongfeng(DPCA joint venture established in 1990 between Dongfengand PSA).
