Citroen has revealed pictures of a new concept associated with its new DS range called High Rider.

The four-seater coupe comes with a ‘full hybrid’ diesel engine that combines an HDi DPFS engine with an electric motor located on the rear axle.

Under certain conditions, both engines combine to deliver additional power with additional torque transmitted to the rear wheels.

The new model follows on from the launch of the DS3 in UK showrooms today which will have restrictied supply across the UK in order to give the new model range some exclusivity.

Only 5,500 examples of the DS3 are earmarked for the UK market this year.

• For more on Citroen's plans for the DS product range and exclusive news featuring the reaction of dealers to the French brand's move away from "value for money models" see the February 26 issue of AM.

More details about the new DS High Rider will be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
