Citroen is offering optional 17-inch alloy wheels as a free upgrade to Citroen DS5 DStyle and DSport Hybrid4 models. These lower the CO2 emissions level from 107g/km to 99g/km. As a result, these DS5 models could now qualify for road tax and London Congestion Charge exemption. The Benefit in Kind also drops from 12% to 10%. In addition, Citroen showed off two new specification packs for DS5 HDI 160 DStyle and DSport models. Opting for the Sport Signature pack and Dark Sport Signature pack lowers the suspension of the standard car by 7mm. It also adds 19-inch alloys (in grey or black) and black door mirrors. Every optional pack has a price tag of £650 but it is offered free of charge on DS5 THP 200 cars, which cost from £25,900. The DS5 revisions also include the 3bhp power boost for the Citroen e-HDi Airdream model from 111bhp to 114bhp. Fuel consumption is still at 64.2mpg while CO2 emissions also remain at 114g/km.
