  DS5 Named Top Gear Family Car of Year 2011

Great News, How many vehicles have won the Car Of Year accolade before being launched ! The New DS5 has been crowned Top Gear Family Car of the Year.

Some say, Citroën’s New DS5 is refined, luxurious, uniquely-styled and dramatic. Well, for the second year in a
row,  TopGear magazine has made Citroën a top choice, naming DS5 their ‘Family Car of the Year’ in the publication’s 2011 awards.
The family-sized DS5, which combines distinctive style with creative technology and takes design inspiration from
the world of aviation, saw off tough competition from already established models to take the best family car title.
TopGear magazine said; “DS5 is a well-grounded, slick, futuristic machine, both inside and out. The inside is
quirky but rational, exciting but functional and put together with considerable care, just like the rest of the car.
And that makes it very pleasing indeed. All of which goes to show that because the DS5 isn’t a half-hearted
copy of a German saloon, it’s the better for it.”

The award means a second year of success for Citroën. In 2010, Citroën DS3 won both TopGear magazine’s
‘Small Car of the Year’ and overall ‘Car of the Year’ accolades.

Register your interest now and be one of the first to experience this new model.  sales@bassettsgroup.co.uk
