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, though the first pictures were revealed a month earlier.[3]

The Citroën Metropolis is a long, four-door saloon featuring four seats, rear hinged doors, an LCD navigator, long and low headlights, silver door handles and revised grille with Citroën's new logo.[4] The vehicle was confirmed for production in October 2010, but was a further ten years before the DS 9 was revealed, for launch in 2021.[5][6][7]
