The DS 6WR wears an upscale design that borrows a noticeable amount of design cues from the Wild Rubis concept that was presented at last year’s edition of the Shanghai Motor Show. It wears a muscular front end with a bulged hood, sharp LED headlights and the firm’s trademarked “DS Wings” radiator grille. The back end features horizontal tail lamps inspired by the DS5 hatchback.
Newly-published pictures reveal the DS 6WR packs an opulent cabin with acres of leather upholstery, LED ambient lighting and imitation brushed aluminum trim on the center console, the dashboard and the four-spoke steering wheel. A digital instrument cluster that includes a configurable screen comes standard, and most models are equipped with a small touch screen on the center stack that runs the latest generation of Citroën’s infotainment system.
Power for the crossover comes from a selection of gasoline-burning four-cylinder engines lifted from the brand’s parts bin including a 1.6-liter unit that generates 200 horsepower. The crossover is only offered with front-wheel drive but Citroën’s Grip Control technology helps improve traction in challenging driving conditions.
The DS 6WR will be built in Shenzhen, China, and sold exclusively on the local market where DS-badged cars are distributed in standalone showrooms. Pricing information will be published closer to its on-sale date.
