 Citroen Finally Reveals High Rider Concept Interior Photos
Citroen DS Hight Rider Concept interior 23.04.2010

Citroën must have rushed a bit to finish the Citroën DS High Rider in time for the Geneva Motor Show last month, because they are only just now revealing the car's interior.  However, no pictures showing the rear of the vehicle's cabin were displayed.

What can be seen is a bi-color dark brown and gold leather scheme with white cross-stitching that covers the seats and dash.  Door inserts shade from gray to gold to better match the seating, while the interior trim was carried out in chrome. 

A DS embossing pattern can be seen above the glove with the emblem replicated in the multi-function steering wheel and below the headrests.

The Citroën DS High Rider concept is a preview of the upcoming Citroën DS4.  The DS4 will likely go on sale either at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011.


STEP INSIDE CITROËN'S DS HIGH RIDER

Citroën has revealed the interior of the DS High Rider concept - which was originally showcased at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. In line with the car's distinctive exterior styling, DS High Rider's cockpit exudes strength, dynamism and refinement, with the utmost care and precision applied to even the smallest details. The ergonomic design of the controls, the quality of the carefully selected materials and the prestigious atmosphere on board convey status, elegance and the promise of luxurious comfort.

With a clear contrast between DS High Rider's large panoramic windscreen and its dark-shaded roof lining, the cabin is an exclusive environment with an emphasis on sporting luxury - also evidenced by the extensive application of leather and chrome detailing.

The instrument panel, seats and door panels are all finished in a quality, full-grain leather with clearly defined over-stitching and a ‘bracelet' design on the seats. The DS initials are also subtly embossed into the leatherwork of the dashboard.

Completing the dynamic ambience of the interior, chrome detailing is used around the dials, steering wheel, air vents, gear stick and the arch that connects the instrument panel to the console. Chrome ‘DS' inserts also feature, positioned just below the headrests on each of the front seats.

Mirroring the golden tone of the DS High Rider's bodywork, the interior door panels are trimmed with a graduated grey to gold shading that required the careful application of specific varnishes to achieve the gilded, metallic look.

DS High Rider's technology can be glimpsed in the controls mounted on the sculpted steering wheel, the colour screen in the centre console and the ‘Hybrid' badge just below the gear stick - which asserts the model's ecologically sensitive drivetrain.

More look like Peugeot's new interior shape, see 3008 & 5008. But here at Citroen with better colours and materials choice.

citroen woke up from its socialist sleep and started to design cars again... it's good a start; I'm still waiting for some pure citroen styling - not only peugeot re-interpreting features.

I like Citroen's new found quality and styling, however, they need to keep some quirkiness that makes their cars so interesting. For example, they need to keep the fixed steering wheel hub. That is just cool.
