However, the vehicle is an example of creative engineering and excellent styling. It is one of the best vehicles ever produced by the automaker, and the DS is also one of the nameplates which is still used by the automaker.
The DS was first introduced in 1955 at the Paris Motor Show with its sloppy shapes and styling and with its first introduction in the market, Citroen received more than 20 thousand orders in advance. On the very first day, when the model was introduced, it has become the symbol of French pride and innovation. Many thanks to the advanced hydropneumatic system that included an advanced self-levelling system to give a most comfortable ride on all terrains. At the time of the introduction of this beauty, French roads were not that good as they are today. The DS was the best vehicle for that time.
This suspension system was advanced and beautiful as it lifts the suspension upon the starting of the car engine and it drops the pressure down upon switching off the engine.
