DS3, DS4, DS5, and the concept model Numero 9. The DS line, developed as Citroen's premium offering, is about to gain another new expression. Named the Wild Rubis, this concept model is, according to Citroen, a future SUV that combines strength with the elegance characteristic of the DS line.



Along with the visuals, the dimensions were revealed: 4,700mm long, 1,950mm wide, 1,590mm high, with a 2.9-meter wheelbase and 21-inch wheels. While there are many design highlights, the exterior, with its body color that shifts its expression with light, is intricately adorned with chrome lines. Particularly striking is the treatment where the SUV's characteristic roof rails seamlessly blend into the tailgate. The novel expression of the taillights being縁取られた by chrome trim is also noteworthy.

The choice of Saint-Émilion, a Bordeaux wine region, as the venue for its unveiling, and the name "Rubis" (Ruby), clearly suggest a connection to wine. The powertrain is a plug-in hybrid, and its driving scenes were filmed in the Tarn Valley in Aveyron, known for the Millau Viaduct.
