DS
DS became a standalone marque after beginning as Citroen's premium sub brand. Its British cars use shared group engineering but place greater emphasis on design, interior presentation and a more individual alternative to established premium brands. The register is concentrated in modern hatchbacks, crossovers and SUVs, including electrified derivatives, so it provides a useful picture of how a new badge has tried to establish itself in a mature market.
