DS will use the Geneva Motor Show to introduce a new concept and a production model.
The company is keeping details under wraps, but said the production model will “enhance” their lineup. The concept, on the other hand, is “particularly sophisticated and technically advanced to portray the beginning of a new era.”
That isn’t much to go on, but DS released a handful of teasers on social media. Nothing is official, but the production model looks like the DS9 flagship which was caught undisguised year.

As you can see, the model has a large grille with a chrome surround that flows into the headlights. There’s also a wide air intake and what appears to be virtual LED daytime running lights.
Elsewhere, we can see flowing bodywork and strong character lines. The model also has jewel-like taillights and a minimalist center console.
Little else is known about the car, but DS9 is slated to ride on the EMP2 platform and measure 194.2 inches (4,933 mm) long, 73 inches (1,855 mm) wide and 57.8 inches (1,468 mm) tall with a wheelbase that spans 114 inches (2,895 mm).
Reports have indicated the car will be offered with two different powertrains. The base model is rumored to have a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 197 hp (147 kW / 200 PS), while a plug-in hybrid E-Tense version has been confirmed by these teaser images.
The car will be revealed on Facebook in a “pre-premiere” on February 24th. A few days later, on February 26th, the concept will grace social media.
Less is known about the concept, but DS is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Citroën SM in Geneva. It remains unclear if the concept will also be a high-performance coupe, but DS will be showing an SM to mark the occasion.
