DS 7 (2022) – Test, release date, price, technical sheet

It is a tradition among car manufacturers, each model is entitled to a restyling when it arrives at half his career. The DS 7 is no exception to the rule. Large of its crossback suffix, the family SUV of DS Automobiles receives a well-deserved half-life lift, which modernizes its design, its equipment and its engines. Here is the release date and the characteristics of the new DS 7 restyled, as well as the information on its hybrid engines, or its price.

Presentation

The Family SUV of DS Automobiles no longer insists on the shape of its body and no longer specifies the name “Crossback” with this mid-career restyling. An inscription which therefore also disappears from the DS 7 tailgate, replaced by “DS Automobiles”. Details aimed at developing the identity of the French premium brand, always wanting to be higher, like the latest generation of DS 4. The compact adopts a style with a strong identity that the DS 7 includes in part by modifying its wider grille and with the relief effect brought by its crushing in variable spacings. The chrome inserts are fewer, reduced to headlights. Others are now treated in black color, such as the wand, shiny or mat, connecting the rear lights, also very slightly darker.

The most obvious link with the compact is at the level of day lights starting from the headlights and descending along the front shield. They use a transparent plastic painted on its inner side then engraved with the laser so as to reveal streaks of light. A technical choice that reduces the number of compatible colors and limits the palette available to neutral shades.

Inside

The interior upholstery is matched, either black or light gray, with a high finish which retains its identifiable seats inspired by the bracelets of watch. The atmosphere is no longer hampered by a multimedia system in the. If integration does not change, the interface benefits from the latest software used in the group, more elegant, faster, better optimized in terms of display.

The available engines

The regulatory incentives of the moment push the DS 7 a little more to rechargeable hybridization, therefore aiming more for the market for vehicle vehicles, which see it as a tax interest. In France, it will therefore no longer be proposed with purely thermal engines except a diesel 1.5 BlueHDI 130 hp. For the rest, there are “e-tense” versions combining a 180 hp or 200 hp thermal block associated with one or two electric blocks for powers of 225 hp, 300 hp and 360 hp. The latter takes up the mechanical elements of the DS 9 E-Tense 360 ​​and incorporates the DS 7 range for this restyling, with specific rims “. The battery of these DS 7 Plug-in Hybrid goes at the same time from 13.2 kWh to 14.2 kWh.

The dimensions

The DS 7 restylé measures 4.60 m in length, 1.90 m wide and 1.63 m in height. Its trunk has a loading volume of 543 liters.

The prices of the restyled SUV

The new DS 7 restylé is available for order since Monday, June 27, 2022. He arrives in the brand’s showrooms, the famous DS Stores, from September 2022. The prices of this second phase of the DS 7 start from € 44,700 with the BlueHDI 130 diesel engine, an increase of € 4,200 in comparison with the DS 7 CrossBack. They then vary according to engines and finishes, but the basic price is set at € 53,900 for the e-tense model 225, € 60,200 for the DS 7 e-Tense 4×4 300 and € 78,400 for the DS 7 restyled E-Tense 4×4 360, which is only available with the special launch edition first.

The summary of our test

Without too many modified elements, as usual of mid-career updates, the restyled DS 7 is significantly renewed from the aesthetic point of view, without changing its general appearance. With a little less than 4.60 m in length, he earns just over two centimeters. He removes most of his chrome, replaces most of those who remain with shiny black inserts, even mats depending on the configuration, and compensates for the loss of these chrome at the grille by a more imposing grid. The “look” of the headlights is gaining aggressiveness and daylights, a new signature with several bands obtained by laser engraving from the inner side of a plexiglass, painted bodywork. A technique that limits color possibilities and removes the red and orange shades from the catalog. Only six neutral colors now compose it. They have the merit of bringing some elegance to the French SUV. Like the inscription “DS Automobiles” on the tailgate, instead of the “crossback” engraved previously, since this appellation is no longer relevant on this version of the DS 7. The possibilities of personalization are also reduced inside, since the brown upholstery disappears on the opera finish, which can now receive a light gray alternative to black if not compulsory on all other levels of equipment. New patterns on the leather of the dashboard and offices appear in high finish. The quality of presentation remains rewarding, the low parts in hard plastic being made little visible by the cutting of the upper parts.

The addition of a new multimedia system to refresh graphics better occupies the display of the touch screen, from 12.3 “, with unchanged physical integration in the passenger compartment but creating a more coherent set with the interior atmosphere. The commands behind the steering wheel still decide with the rest, because of commodos used for too long in the Peugeot-Citroën group, not very high-end. And if the ergonomics are not always easy, whether for these orders, those on the central console including the tarabiscotated windows of the windows, or the intuitiveness of the menus of the info-draft system, we cannot reproach a lack of on -board technologies.

Between the matrix headlights with increased precision, the night vision camera, the one that monitors the driver’s fatigue or that linked to the suspensions to scan the road and anticipate the damping adjustment, everything is done to assist on any type of journey. The comfort benefits, in addition to a spacious reception for passengers who can, at the rear, tilt the bench folder into two electrically. And the trunk still contains 543 liters of volume.

The rechargeable hybrid versions and their battery to the capacity revised upwards (14.2 kWh instead of 13.2 kWh) does not start this volume. Fortunately, because only a 130 hp diesel block make up the thermal offer. The hybrid plug-in is therefore almost a forced passage. Companies will appreciate, representing the largest proportion of sales. Individuals will have more difficulty justifying a significant additional cost, with hybrid prices that start at € 53,900 in traction version 225 hp, or around € 9,000 more than diesel. The 300 hp E-Tense 4×4 version and its additional rear electric motor is renewed. Is added to this an unprecedented version with adjustments and frame elements revised and to the power increased to 360 horsepower, always with four -wheel drive. Wanted more sporty, with in particular very visual rims of 21 “and a lowered box of 15 mm, it turns out to be firmer and reduced its autonomy in all electric from 65 to 57 km announced. Less comfortable and questionable approval when block 1.6 Turbo Essence climbs in the towers as well as in the sound presence inside, for very satisfactory performance (0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 sec) but not essential on this type of family vehicle, it is better to ‘Hold on the two -wheel drive model.
