PSA/Peugeot-Citroen says it will begin production of a third model from its near-premium DS brand, the DS 4S, at its plant in Shenzhen, China. Sales are scheduled to begin in the first half of next year.
The DS 4S compact hatchback, which was unveiled at the Guangzhou auto show, will be built and sold exclusively in China.
The DS 4S will offer a choice of two 1.8-liter gasoline engines that generate either 136 hp or 204 hp. The company says it will also offer a turbocharged engine, although it did not disclose its displacement or power.
Standard equipment includes a six-speed automatic transmission.
The car, designed in France, will be produced by PSA's joint venture with Chongqing Changan Automobile Co.
The 50-50 partnership, launched in 2010, constructed an assembly plant in Shenzhen to produce models for DS Automobiles, which was made a stand-alone marque last year after functioning for four years as a Citroen subbrand.

Last year the plant began assembling the DS 5LS sedan, followed by the DS 6 crossover.
PSA also produces models for the Citroen and Peugeot brands at a joint venture with Dongfeng Motor Corp. in the central China city of Wuhan.
