Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 11 April 2013 09:30

Citroen's DS Wild Rubis concept shows how a DS-badged SUV could look, and could lead to a high-riding model for the 4x4-loving Chinese market. It's the latest concept to showcase a possible future styling direction for Citroen's DS sub-brand, the quasi-premium offshoot of Citroen's main range.

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 08 April 2013 11:30

This is the Renault Twin-Z concept (say it 'Twin-Zee'). Although it packs the usual concept car madness of suicide doors, a pared-back cabin and LEDs everywhere, it actually previews the look – and drivetrain – of the next Renault Twingo. The big news is that it'll be rear-engined, rear-drive, and offer an electric option for less money than the £13k Renault ...

This is the BMW Concept X4, which borrows the idea of an SUV with coupe proportions from its X6 brother, and shrinks the template down to the size of an X3.

Citroen's new C4 Picasso has lost weight, boasts more cabin space, and enough touchscreen gadgetry inside to embarrass a branch of Currys. What's under the skin of the new Citroen C4 Picasso? Underpinning the car is PSA Peugeot-Citroen's new do-it-all platform. The aluminium architecture is 70kg lighter than the old car's chassis, while a stretched wheelbase and shrink-wrapped overall dimensions mean the ...
