This model was first launched here in 2012/2013 and the range was extended in 2015. However, the DS 5 is no longer sold here and very few models can still be found in the used car market.
Engines in the range (2015):
Petrol Engines
Three engine options were initially available in the local DS 5 range. A 1.6-litre turbo-petrol unit was offered with two power outputs: 115kW (THP 155) and 147 kW (THP 200), with the latter paired exclusively to a six-speed manual gearbox. The THP 155 and HDi 160 (120kW turbodiesel) were paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.
By way of transmission, the THP 200 was said to be the most exciting option to drive and the "only model in the range that manages to counter the otherwise bulky feel of the DS5". In the THP 200, Citroën claims an acceleration time from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds. The advantage of the more docile HDi 160 is evident at the fuel pumps, where Citroën claims a combined 6.1l/100 km.
THP 165 S&S EAT6 engine
Featuring a 6-speed automatic gearbox (faster gear changing, less internal friction, more driveable, etc.), the DS 5 THP 165 S&S consumes 5.9l/100 km over a combined cycle for CO2 emissions of 135g/km, an improvement of 30g/km or 18% over a combined cycle, compared with the THP 155 Euro5.
With maximum injection pressure of 200 bars and Stop&Start technology (with a reinforced starter), this engine has a maximum output of 121kW (165bhp EEC) at 6000 rpm. Maximum torque of 240Nm is available from 1400 rpm and remains constant to 4000 rpm, for remarkable driveability at both low and high revs.
Diesel engines
Concerning diesel engines, the DS 5 gains a new generation of diesel engines called BlueHDi. BlueHDi combines advanced performance with low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This result was achieved by working directly on the engine (improved internal efficiency, new diamond-like carbon coating, fewer mechanical losses, etc.) and by implementing an innovative and efficient exhaust system.
The innovative and unique character of this exhaust line lies in its specific layout: the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) module positioned upstream of the additive particulate filter is the only after-treatment system able to reduce NOx emissions by up to 90% as well as reducing CO2 emissions by up to 4%.
BlueHDi 120 S&S 6-speed manual
By combining the latest 6-speed automatic gearbox with BlueHDi technology, this engine naturally meets high standards of performance in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions as well as torque. With this engine, the figures speak for themselves: 3.8l/100 km, 100g/km of CO2, and torque of 300Nm. With these results, the DS 5 sets the standard with respect to the competition. In the second half of 2015, this engine was said to have a 6-speed automatic gearbox available.
BlueHDi 150 S&S 6-speed manual
Another engine for which the DS 5 sets the standard in torque, fuel consumption and emissions is the BlueHDi 150. This 2.0-litre HDi 150 engine consumes 4.4l/100 km for CO2 emissions of 103g/km, an improvement of 22g compared with the HDi 160. At the same time, maximum torque is higher than for the previous generation (HDi160, Euro5) with 370Nm at 2,000 rpm.
BlueHDi 180 S&S EAT6
The BlueHDi 180 engine delivers exceptional driveability with an output of 133kW and maximum torque of 400Nm at 2,000 rpm. The addition of a variable-geometry turbocharger along with higher supercharging pressure and combustion pressure boosts the power of the DS 5 BlueHDI 180 by 20 bhp compared with the previous generation. Further, this engine is equipped with balance shafts to deliver the acoustic and vibration comfort expected at this level of the range. As a result: the DS 5 BlueHDi S&S 180 6-speed automatic combines performance - on a par with the best in its class for CO2 emissions and fuel consumption (110g/km of CO2, an improvement of 44g compared with the HDi 160, and 4.3l/100 km) - with real driveability (400Nm of torque).
