A new Citroen DS3 convertible will be part of an expanding Citroen DS model range, according to an interview with PSA brands head, Jean-Marc Gales and Automotive News Europe. Among the news about the growth of the company in global markets, including China, there is more on what we can expect from the DS range of upmarket models.

With the DS4 and DS5 launched this year, it will be a while before we see anything new. Gales says the company intends on focusing on a year of production of the current DS line-up in 2012, but a new Citroen DS3 convertible will also be released. It will be the first model in a new expansion plan, and could be followed by a sports version of the DS4, similar to the DS3 Racing.

Still talking hypothetically, Gales then adds that room for a Citroen DS2 entry-level model could be found, and a larger Citroen DS6 flagship could be developed - the sedan version of the Metropolis concept car. None of that has been officially confirmed as such, but with total DS sales in 2012 of about 170,000 to 180,000 units, Citroen will be wanting to build on the range’s success as part of its global expansion.
