PSA ceases the production of the DS 5
- This month, the PSA group has stopped the production of the DS 5 on the site of Sochaux (France), just after stopping the production of Citroën C4 and DS 4 in Mulhouse. With the Citroën C5 stopped just a year ago, this means four important models have disappeared from the Citroën and DS ranges without being replaced. Due to its tenuous positioning, the DS 5 has never been able to gain traction on the European market. There were less than 100,000 units produced in total.
- It will be necessary to wait until 2020/2021 to discover the replacements of the Citroën C4 and C5, while nothing is decided yet concerning the replacement of the DS 4 and DS 5. Discussions are rather on a future DS 4 Crossback and a future DS 9.
- The current Citroën range therefore focuses on the C1, C3, C3 Aircross, C4 Cactus, C4 Space Tourer (new name of the C4 Picasso), C5 Aircross and Berlingo.
- As for the DS range, it has shrunk drastically and is now focused on the DS 3 and DS 7, which are the only two surviving models of the PSA Premium brand, which really must launch new models to be able to grow on the European market, especially since the DS 3 dates from 2009, which is very old for a modern car. PSA announces that its replacement will be unveiled at the next Paris Motor Show, next September.
