Citroen DS


The company will declassify the Wild Rubis concept car literally the other day on a motor show in Shanghai.
It is remarkable that the model began at once with hybrid installation. It combines a 1.6-liter gasoline engine and the electric motor. The first drives the front wheels, the second - the rear. The total output of all units of about 243 hp



Another is remarkable also: on models of Peugeot Citroen group the hybrid "the electric motor - the diesel motor" was still used. Such combination is applied, in particular, on a crossover of Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 and Citroen DS5 hatchback.

Overall length Wild Rubis is 4.7 meters, width - 1,95 m, height - 1.59 meters. Wheelbase - 2.9 meters. The technology, built on the chassis of the model DS5, in size was similar to the Volkswagen Touareg and BMW X5. In this case, it was previously assumed that the length of the prototype is 4.5 meters, and its production series will compete with Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.

Assume that serially the car debuts next year and will be available to only the Chinese buyers. But, it is natural that the crossover which can receive the name DSX7 Hybrid4, will appear and in the European market, though it will let out in China.
