Citroen DS5
The third model in Citroen's DS range, following the DS3 and DS4, is easily the most surprising. Far from being a smartened up C5 saloon, the DS5 is a big hatchback-cum-estate, reminiscent of the C-SportLounge concept of 2005. It's also Citroen's first ever diesel-hybrid, using the same HYbrid4 technology as sister company Peugeot. Here it has 200bhp and 99g/km of CO2, making the tax disc absolutely free.
When can I buy it?
Early 2012, meaning you can probably order one this summer. You'll be ordering blind, however, as there are no prices as yet. It should start at the £23,000 mark for a plain old diesel version, with the hybrid closer to £28,000.
