Citroen preparing two new DS-badged models

Citroën has confirmed it is putting the final touches on two new additions to its premium DS brand.

Speaking with Leftlane at the Frankfurt Motor Show, ​Citroën Communications Director Arnaud de Lamothe revealed that the first new DS-badged car is a midsize sedan aimed at cars such as the upcoming Audi A3 Sedan.  Little is known about it but we wouldn’t be surprised to see it borrow its platform from the C-Elysée that debuted earlier last year.

Unsurprisingly, the second DS-badged model is a compact SUV designed to rival the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1, two rising stars on the Chinese market.  The yet-unnamed SUV will borrow a sizable amount of design cues from the Wild Rubis concept that was presented at the Shanghai Motor Show earlier this year. Â

Both cars will be publicly unveiled next year a major trade show in China, where DS is marketed as a standalone brand and not a sub-division of ​Citroën.  It goes without saying that neither car will be offered in the United States, but de Lamothe jokingly promised the automaker will return to U.S. shores before the year 3000.<![CDATA[
