Citroen DS4 voted most beautiful car of the year

The DS4, the second model of Citroen’s premium DS area, one of our “happy cars” that elected perhaps surprisingly “Most Beautiful Car of the Year” by more than 60,000 Web user in 62 countries.

I say it surprised how while the DS4 is distinctive, I can the last year keep launched from other cars, that are perhaps more deserves this award.

Still, at least the DS4 is much more appealing than the C4 on which it is based. It might share the same neat clamshell bonnet and clever surface detail, but the DS4 adds extra pizzazz with LED lights and a curvier rear end.

Managing Director of Citroen, accepted the award at the official ceremony of the 26 Frederic Banzet. International Automobile Festival on 27. January. Next to the “most beautiful car of the year” award overturned the DS4 also another award for the “most beautiful interior”.

The DS4 will go in the second half of 2011 on sale in the UK, and I look forward to a drive.
