Citroën has unveiled the DS Wild Rubis, a unique and captivating concept which points to a future DS SUV. The concept will debut at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month.
The latest expression of the DS line, the DS Wild Rubis joins DS3, DS4, DS5 and the Numéro 9 concept, complementing the distinctive series with unique and inimitable style. Stimulating imagination and emotion, the concept breathes sophistication with an exceptional finish and utmost attention to detail.
A new vision of Citroën’s premium DS line, DS Wild Rubis’ unique profile combines the powerful appearance of an SUV with the refined codes of the DS line.
With impressive dimensions – 4.7m L, 1.95m W and 1.59m H – a wheelbase of 2.9m and planted on 21” wheels, DS Wild Rubis expresses power and strength, inviting onlookers to step inside and explore a feature-rich and versatile cabin suited to the needs of executive customers.
The car’s silhouette is highlighted by a unique chrome signature on the side. The roof bars accentuate the impression of height, whilst hinting at power and performance, before blending into the bodywork and flow of the profile of the rear wing.
The grille flows into unique full-LED headlights, made up of three mobile lighting modules and surrounded by scrolling indicator lights at the base and a tuning fork-shaped light signature on the edge – a feature that gives the Wild Rubis a bold, hypnotic and unique stare.
The new arrangement of the lights at the rear appears to be part of the raised tailgate. Just like a jewel, the glass of the rear lights is encased in chrome, further enhancing the light signature, whilst a subtle lighting effect on the DS emblem creates an impression of depth. The foot of the sculptural rear tailgate is highlighted by the chrome finish, incorporating the twin exhaust pipes.
