The Citroen DS5 is a large five-door hatchback that competes with executive saloons and family hatchbacks. It’s a bit of an oddball, but its elegant interior, high equipment levels, and distinctive nature lend it a certain appeal. However, it doesn’t perform well on the comfort, refinement or practicality fronts, which makes it difficult to justify over established rivals such as the Audi A4, the BMW 3 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
