Inside the hybrid Citroen DS High Rider

Originally showcased at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show, the DS High Rider concept car is widely tipped to become the production model DS4 in the not too distant future. See our original article on the Citroen DS High Rider here.

Now the French car maker has revealed photos of the cars interior, which highlights the concept’s hybrid credentials with its ‘Hybrid’ badge just below the gear stick.

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.
