Citroën's 'DS line' styling department

To maintain the momentum of the DS line, Citroën has decided to create a styling department dedicated to this distinctive vehicle line.

The new set-up, which comes into effect on June 1, will make an even clearer distinction between C-range vehicle styling and DS styling.

The 'DS line' styling department will be managed by Thierry Metroz, while Alexandre Malval, former head of styling for the Citroën DS5 and C5, will be in charge of C-range styling.

 "To support the move upmarket and international expansion of Citroën, particularly in China, it is important to make a clearer distinction in styling between the C range and the DS line, each in their respective fields," explained Frédéric Banzet, Managing Director of the Citroën brand.
