Third model specific to the high-end PSA brand, the DS9 E-Tense offers a panel of three rechargeable hybrid engines whose power varies from 225 to 360 horses.

DS sedan style

The Peugeot 508 serves as a basis for this first sedan struck with the coat of arms of automobiles. Not the one made with us, the 508 l from China, with a wheelbase even elongated at 2.90 meters. In total, the DS9 points to 4.93 meters, and takes the external elements of its congeners DS3 and DS7 Crossback.

Slender, the large 5 -door therefore mixes character at the front and purity of lateral features. Optics are the most remarkable points, as on the DS7, while retractable ds3 crossback handles invite themselves on the doors. The interior is shared with the large SUV. The sedan resumes digital meters, the large central screen and the info-divisional system.

DS 9 e-Tense engines

It’s quite rare, there is not one but three versions of the luxurious rechargeable hybrid, in addition to a 100% petrol variation. The most sober is the 225 horsepower e-tense, using the electric block + electric block system of the Citroën C5 Aircross or Peugeot 508 Hybrid.

A more muscular version of 250 horsepower is also offered, as well as an efficient e-tense 360 ​​horses. The high -end DS9 uses two electric motors here, including one back of 113 horsepower, thus offering 4 -wheel drive and 520 Nm of torque. Shared with the 508 Peugeot Sport Enginered, the triple motorization makes it possible to truly compete with German competition, fond of large powers.

DS DS3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE

This DS3 Crossback E-Tense takes up the character, the look and the neat finishes specific to the DS brand and which explain that it is indeed a premium manufacturer. The price also confirms this: 39,100 euros for the cheapest in the range. In terms of autonomy on the other hand, the vehicle is equipped with a battery of only 50 kWh, therefore autonomy is struggling to exceed 300 km in mixed use much. Driving pleasure is clearly there, with a real feeling of safety and fluidity. At the technology level, there is a good point in the application developed by the manufacturer: My DS, which allows you to prepare your route by taking into account the charging points on its route. Missing aid for semi-autonomous driving, the French manufacturer believes that the safety of its technology must be reinforced before being available on the market.
