Having shrugged off the inhibiting effects of conventional design that took it into the category of the mundane for many years, PSA Citroën's latest demonstration of its original technological and aesthetic design capabilities for its Citroën brand is the CXperience concept, timed for unveiling at the 2016 Paris Auto Show.

A gasoline plug-in hybrid with a maximum combined power output of around 220 kW (295 hp), it has progressive hydraulic “cushion” suspension (http://articles.sae.org/14867/) and a long (4.85-m/15.7-ft) and low (1.37-m /4.5-ft-high) body. The concept sits on 22-in wheels and features aft-hinged rear doors. The overall exterior form has a bit of the radically different 1955 DS about it, including a single-spoke steering wheel.
