About the Citroen DS21 Break White Norev 1:18

TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Citroen DS21 Break in white reproduces the 1970 estate version of the landmark DS, with its stretched roofline and load-friendly rear end. Solid metal construction at an accessible price makes it a practical companion to a DS saloon in a French classic display.

Stretching the DS into an estate sounds like an odd idea until you remember how much load space French buyers actually wanted from a car this advanced, and the Break delivered exactly that.

Norev's Diecast Take on the DS's Stretched Roofline

Converting the DS into an estate meant reworking the roofline and rear glass while keeping the self-levelling ride that made the saloon famous, and Norev's diecast reflects that stretched profile accurately rather than simply grafting a boxy tailgate onto the standard body. White paint shows off the estate's slab-sided rear flanks cleanly, and the tailgate detailing hints at the split opening the real car used for easier loading. Build quality sits at the same solid mid-tier level as Norev's other DS castings, with enough metal weight to feel properly substantial and opening doors that let a collector show the cabin's distinctive single-spoke wheel.

The Break's Role as the DS's Practical Sibling

Citroen marketed the Break, sold in some markets as the Safari, as a genuinely practical estate rather than a styling exercise, and its rear-biased hydropneumatic suspension meant it could carry a full load without sagging, a real advantage over conventional steel-sprung rivals of the period. French police, ambulance services and large families all used the DS estate for exactly that reason. Alongside the saloon and the SM coupe, the Break rounds out the picture of a single platform doing genuinely different jobs, which is a useful reminder of how far Citroen stretched the DS concept.

Pairing the Break With a DS Saloon on Display

Displayed next to a standard DS saloon, the Break makes an effective family grouping, showing how the same nose and suspension technology adapted to a completely different body brief. Its longer roofline also gives a shelf some welcome variety among saloons and coupes, breaking up a run of similar silhouettes. At this price and tier, it is an easy addition for anyone already collecting DS variants rather than a standalone purchase.
