If you live in Britain and have been after the all-new Citroën DS5 since its introduction at the Shanghai Auto Show last April and then at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, you’re getting closer as the French brand has announced pricing and is accepting pre-orders, with first deliveries to take place on April 2.

On the road prices start from £22,400 for the entry-level diesel model rising to to £32,200 for the range-topping Hybrid4 DSport.

One of the more innovative looking Citroën's since the 1970s, the DS5 is marketed as an alternative to the more conventional C5 with a higher ground clearance, more refined interior and a shape that blends elements from several categories.

For it's second series of cinemagraphs staring the new DS5 (see the first one here), Citroën has teamed up with British football club Arsenal and first team players, Mikel Arteta, Laurent Koscielny and club captain Robin van Persie.

And if you're wondering about Citroën choice, the French carmaker has been the official vehicle supplier to Arsenal Football Club since 2008 while it recently confirmed a new three year extension to the partnership.

‎It's been a busy year for Citroën with several new car launches including the DS5 and the Mitsubishi-based C4 Aircross small crossover as well as concept models like the Frankfurt Show Tubik van.

And let's not forget that the French brand also dominated the World Rally Championship winning both drivers' and manufacturers' championships this season with Sébastien Loeb and the DS3 WRC.

To celebrate the end of the year, Citroën collaborated with British pop starlet Pixie Lott to create a music video that covers the firm's highlights.

A European motor show without some quirky futuristic concept from Citroën is like having creme brulee without the caramelized crisp sugar top layer. Fortunately, the French won't disappoint.

On Thursday, we shared with you a teaser video from Citroën foreshadowing the French firm's new concept study that will make its world premiere at this month's 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Now, we've learned some more details including the type of vehicle which will be a futuristic looking van that doubles as a people carrier.

If you were bummed out by the absence of a concept model in our previous report on Citroën's 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show offerings, you'll be happy to know that as it turns out, the French automaker does have a surprise in store for us.

What it will be remains a mystery, as the only pieces of information that we get is through a teaser video clip that shows some sort of concept model.

You can watch it for yourself in the video after the break and tell us what you think.
