The premium French company had promised to present a mystery concept in this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show and voila, this is it; a prototype DS4 Crossback.

DS wants to communicate their strategy of using different, more traditional materials in order to make its models more luxurious and premium, and the DS4 Crossback Concept reveals exactly the company’s direction.

The prototype uses real granite as a trim material on the exterior and more specifically on the wheel spokes, the roof bars and the casings of the rear-view mirrors. DS wants to offer this unorthodox trim option in its future production models.

The cabin is trimmed with special leather that’s naturally textured and remarkably soft according to the French company, showing their will to offer a more bespoke feel to their cars.
