The Citroën Metropolis is a concept car, which was designed in China by Citroën, and was presented on the French pavilion of the Expo 2010, in Shanghai.[1][2] The concept was unveiled in May 2010, with the first pictures being revealed one month prior, in April.[3]

The Citroën Metropolis is a long four door saloon, which featured four seats, rear hinged doors, an LCD navigator, long and low headlights, silver door handles and revised grille with the new logo of Citroën.[4] The vehicle was confirmed for production in October 2010, which did not occur for ten years until the beginning of 2020, when the DS 9 was revealed, for launch in 2021.[5][6][7]
