The Citroën Hypnos is a concept car presented by Citroën at the 2008 Paris Motor Show. It has a crossover body style and is powered by a diesel hybrid drivetrain with a rear axle-mounted electric motor. The car's most distinctive design feature is its interior, with rainbow-coloured, offset seats, and a system which analyzes the driver's face to gauge his state of mind and adjust the cabin lighting and scented air freshener fragrance in consequence.^[1][2]

Citroen announced that diesel-hybrid engine would be available in all models by 2015.^[3]

The concept car has appeared in several auto shows, including the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed.^[4]

Some of the styling features of this car are believed to be appearing on the upcoming DS5.^{[citation needed]}
