Redefining luxury and uniqueness

EVERYONE needs a place to unwind and relax after a stressful day at work, be it their home, the gym or a quiet café. For some people, there is no better place to enjoy peace and privacy than behind the wheel of their daily drive.

This statement holds particularly true for many Malaysians who spend countless hours in traffic congestion as they make their way to and from work.

When forced to be in a car for so long, why not find solace in a vehicle that boasts quality craftsmanship and prestige?

No other automotive manufacturer exudes quality refinement much like DS Automobiles.

With premium materials such as aluminium door bars, metal gear knob and bucketloads of leather inside the cabin, the DS 5 is the epitome of good taste and a true symbol of opulence and success.

On the centre console, a wide seven-inch touchscreen provides the driver with convenient access to various controls and functions including the audio and navigation, while also displaying a clear view of obstacles via the reverse camera.

Drivers need not fret about missing important calls as the DS 5 supports both Apple and Android platforms with Apple CarPlay and MirrorLink technology.

Besides the touchscreen interface, the colour head-up display is an innovative feature that projects essential driving information on a transparent panel directly in the driver’s line of vision.

The DS 5 offers more than just superior trim and finishing. It is, after all, well loved the world over as a car that perfectly balances luxury and performance.

Paired to a powerful 1.6-litre engine is the latest-generation EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox that delivers 40% faster gear shifts

and a wider gear ratio range for quicker pick-up performance.

This translates to a smooth, dynamic and agile driving experience that is sure to put a smile on the driver’s face.

The DS 5 is not short of safety features. The distinct DS LED Vision headlamps combine LED and Xenon technology for better lighting while the LED fog lamps follow the direction of the steering wheel, allowing the driver to have better vision around corners in the dark.

In addition, the DS 5 has six airbags, a low tyre pressure detector to alert the driver of any loss of pressure in the tyres, and side mirrors with a blind spot monitoring system to warn of oncoming vehicles that are in the

driver’s blind spot.

Last but certainly not least, this French engineering marvel is stunning to behold. Onlookers will no doubt be captivated by the dominating front grille, jewelinspired headlamps, sleek lines all around and attractive twin tailpipes.

Now with zero-rated GST, you can defy conventions and drive away with the New DS 5 for RM173,000.
