The car’s silhouette is highlighted by a chromed signature on the side. The roof bars accentuate the impression of height while hinting at power and performance, before blending into the bodywork and flow of the profile of the rear wing.

Featuring the front-end design borrowed from the automaker's Numéro 9 concept, the front of the new model is characterised by the new grille design incorporating the DS emblem.

The rear lights appear to be part of the raised tail door and are encased in chrome, with chromed trim.
