  • Available to order for a few weeks now, DS N°7 is priced from €43,900 in HYBRID and €46,990 in E-TENSE 100% electric.

With a length of 4.66 m, a height of 1.63 m and a width of 1.90 m, DS N°7 exudes a charisma that ensures an immediately striking presencence. DS Automobiles’ new creation is now taking the road for a preview with the international test drives, before deliveries to the first customers set by the end of the year.

Its balanced proportions, elongated profile and perfectly controlled overhangs contribute to a balanced and statuesque silhouette, which immediately stands out on the road. Wheel diameter is 740 mm with wheels up to 21 inches.

At the front, DS N°7 offers two interpretations of the grille: a sleek black version or a more high-tech DS LUMINASCREEN version, which lights up and comes to life with vertical lines, while the DS emblem is backlit.

DS N°7 has a 0.26 Cx, among the best in its class, which gives it a range of up to 740 km. Combining elegance, dynamism and seating capacity without compromising on spaciousness, DS N°7 has an instantly seductive appearance. Its iconic light signature and bi-tone (black roof) or extended bi-tone body colour (black roof and black bonnet available as an option) complete a refined personality which makes it stand out at first glance.

The comfort of travelling First Class

Designed as a true SUV for journeys, DS N°7 places comfort, relaxation and refinement at the heart of the on-board experience. Every detail has been designed to provide a feeling of natural control, a remarkable filtering quality and permanent well-being, no matter how far you travel.

In the front, the seats with integrated headrests embody this desire. Using high-density foams with an additional layer for enhanced comfort and adjustable side supports, they ensure optimal support and first-rate comfort. Depending on the finish, they can be upholstered in DS Canvas, Alcantara® or naturally tanned Nappa leather. Heated, cooled and massaging, they can also be equipped with the exclusive DS NECK WARMER system, which circulates gentle heat around the back of the neck to enhance the feeling of well-being while optimizing onboard efficiency. This makes every journey a special experience.

True to DS Automobiles expertise, DS N°7’s interior stands out through an high build quality and the use of special materials. The Brand’s iconic signatures, such as the “Clous de Paris” embossed inserts, the watch strap–inspired seat upholstery and Pearl stitching, underline the attention to detail. The 10-inch digital instrument cluster and the 16-inch central display blend harmoniously into the interior architecture, enhancing the whole feeling of high-tech elegance. For the first time, DS N°7 can also be fitted with natural wood trim, adding an extra touch of warmth and sophistication. The carefully crafted lighting atmosphere is an integral part of this soothing and refined atmosphere.

In the rear seats, the space has been extended thanks to in-depth work on the proportions and glass surfaces. Longer rear doors and the repositioning of the three-quarter pillar relative to the head area enhance the feeling of openness, while the large panoramic glass roof, with UV treatment and low-E coating dedicated to thermal performance in summer and winter, bathes the cabin in natural light. This architecture also allows for up to 25 mm more headroom, further enhancing passenger comfort.

DS N°7 combines elegance and practicality with a generous boot providing up to 560 litres of capacity depending on the powertrain and audio equipment specified. A size that rivals that of models from the higher segment. Thanks to its regular geometry and optimised layout, the available space is instantly usable. As standard, a two-position boot floor provides a perfectly flat surface when the rear seat backrests are folded down. Regardless of the configuration chosen, the charging cable can be stored under the floor to free up maximum luggage space. The opening width, the area between the wheel arches and the loading height have been preserved to ensure simple and efficient everyday use. With this in mind, DS Automobiles’ engineers have reviewed the layout of the boot hinges, to the direct benefit of practicality and comfort of use.

At the wheel: time standing still

Based on the STLA Medium platform, DS N°7 enjoys a latest-generation architecture combining high structural stiffness with a remarkable level of filtering. This technical basis contributes to offering an ideal balance between benchmark comfort, driving precision and in-car relaxation.

From the very first kilometres, DS N°7 stands out with ergonomics designed around the driver. Its X-shaped steering wheel, a new Brand signature, provides a natural grip. The controls, ideally positioned, allow intuitive access to the main functions, reinforcing the feeling of control and seamlessness in daily use.

DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION, a characteristic DS Automobiles technology, is a full part of this unique experience. Thanks to a camera that continuously analyses the road surface, the system anticipates unevenness in the road and instantly adapts the damping of each wheel individually. The occupants benefit from exceptional comfort, while the driver benefits from precise, fluid and reassuring handling under all circumstances. DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION offers different driving modes ranging from a hushed comfort to a Sport mode for tenfold dynamic driving pleasure.

This control is also demonstrated through particularly sophisticated chassis settings, which give DS N°7 a precise feel on the road and great dynamic serenity. Regardless of the powertrain chosen, the car favours smooth reactions, high-speed stability and confidence in all situations.

This permanent quest for well-being continues through advanced acoustic work. Laminated glass and absorbent materials create a cosy atmosphere. In DS N°7, calm reigns, transforming every trip into a time for relaxation and escape.

This sensory experience is enhanced by the ELECTRA® 3D by FOCAL audio system. Thanks to an immersive sound reproduction through its 14 speakers, including two “TAM 3D” tweeters in the roof, it envelops passengers in an exceptional acoustic environment, inspired by the best listening rooms.

A benchmark offering

DS N°7 E-TENSE pushes the standards of the category with up to 740 km of range on the WLTP combined cycle in its FWD LONG RANGE version. This performance is the result of a holistic approach to efficiency: optimised aerodynamics, high-performance electric engine, control of accessory consumption and a new-generation (97.2 kWh) battery made in France.

Three 100% electric powertrains are available and benefit from a Boost function to increase power when required:

  • E-TENSE FWD 230 hp (260 hp max. boost)
  • E-TENSE FWD LONG RANGE 245 hp (280 hp max. boost)
  • E-TENSE AWD LONG RANGE 350 hp with all-wheel drive (375 max. boost)

Beyond pure performance, DS N°7 E-TENSE stands out for its particularly smooth and quiet driving experience. Acceleration is instantaneous but always progressive, in aid of occupant well-being.

A benchmark range, designed for the freedom to travel

To meet the expectations of all users, DS N°7 comes with a choice of two battery capacities, each developed to combine efficiency, ease of use and freedom of movement.

The first, with a usable capacity of 73.7 kWh, equips the FWD version with 230 hp and allows up to 543 kilometres of range on the WLTP combined cycle. The second, with a usable capacity of 97.2 kWh, enables the 245 hp DS N°7 FWD LONG RANGE to achieve up to 740 kilometres of range on the WLTP combined cycle. In real-world conditions, DS N°7 covers more than 400 km on highway with DS Drive Assist set at the speed limit and with 20% battery still available before charging, placing it among the benchmarks in the segment. The AWD LONG RANGE version of 350 hp with all-wheel drive has a range of up to 679 kilometres in the WLTP combined cycle.

Beyond the numbers, DS N°7 has been designed to maintain travel habits. Thanks to its exceptional fuel efficiency, the FWD LONG RANGE version can cover a motorway journey of more than 700 kilometres with a single charging stop, while keeping more than 40 kilometres of range at the finish. An approach that transforms the electric mobility experience: the driver chooses the take a break according to their wishes and pace of travel, and not the constraints imposed by charging.

This freedom of use is also based on the charging performance. Thanks to optimised battery management and a controlled charging curve, DS N°7 FWD LONG RANGE goes from 20 to 80% in 27 minutes, with power maintained at up to 160 kW between 20 and 55%, allowing up to 200 km of range to be recovered in just 10 minutes.

The version equipped with the 73.7 kWh battery also benefits from particularly efficient fast charging, with an increase from 20 to 80% in 30 minutes. In both cases, controlling the load curve not only helps to optimise downtime, but also to sustainably preserve the performance and longevity of the battery.

A HYBRID powertrain that meets all market expectations.

Alongside the E-TENSE POWERTRAINS, DS N°7 HYBRID occupies a strategic place in the range. The 145 hp powertrain combines a new-generation 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, specifically developed for this hybrid powertrain, with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor integrated into the six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Thanks to this particularly efficient architecture, DS N°7 HYBRID can drive up to 50% of the time in electric mode in urban and suburban use, while maintaining the versatility expected of an SUV intended for long as well as daily journeys. With fuel consumption from 5.3 l/100 km and CO₂ emissions from 120 g/km, among the lowest in its class, this powertrain is a particularly relevant response to market expectations.

Cutting-edge technologies serving comfort, safety and serenity

DS N°7 brings together the Brand’s most advanced technologies to reduce the driver’s cognitive load. These include:

  • DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION: an onboard camera continuously scans the road surface and instantly adjusts the damping of each wheel to deliver the perfect balance between comfort and handling.

  • DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0: a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving system featuring semi-automatic lane change, predictive adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist, ensuring a smoother and more relaxed driving experience.

  • DS IRIS SYSTEM 2.0: a next-generation connected interface operated via voice commands or the 16-inch central touchscreen. Compatible with the AI-powered Personal Assistant enhanced with the “RecentNews” feature, it enables natural interactions and access to a wide range of connected services.

  • DS EXTENDED HEAD-UP DISPLAY: an enhanced head-up display projecting key driving information directly onto the windscreen, improving readability and overall comfort.

  • Digital Rear Vision: offers both a conventional mirror view and a wide-angle camera display, ensuring optimal rear visibility in all traffic and lighting conditions.

  • DS PIXELVISION: an intelligent lighting system combining adaptive headlights, glare-free high beam and cornering lighting. It automatically adjusts the light beam to driving conditions and surrounding traffic, with a range of up to 520 meters.

  • DS NIGHT VISION: using an infrared camera, the system detects pedestrians and animals up to 300 meters ahead of the vehicle, enhancing safety during night driving.

  • Hi-Fi ELECTRA® 3D by FOCAL: a premium 690W audio system with 14 speakers, delivering immersive 3D sound and outstanding acoustic performance.

Connected Services: an electric ecosystem designed to make every journey easy

The 100% electric E-TENSE versions of DS N°7 incorporate a range of technologies designed to make the electric mobility experience ever simpler, more intuitive and serene.

The in-car navigation system with EV Routing automatically plans journeys by integrating real-time vehicle data, route profile, traffic conditions and the desired load level on arrival. It also allows you to set your energy supplier preferences and filter out Plug & Charge compatible points etc… This on-board intelligence optimises charging stops and helps reduce overall travel time.

To ensure optimal charging performance in all seasons, DS N°7 also has a battery preconditioning system, combined with a heat pump as standard on all E-TENSE versions. The battery is thereby prepared before arriving at a rapid-charging point to achieve the best possible charging conditions.

The experience extends beyond the car thanks to the MyDS app, which allows you to prepare your journeys in advance with the e-Routes service and transfer them directly to the in-car navigation system. The PLUG & CHARGE feature simplifies charging at compatible charging points by eliminating the need for identification and payment steps.

These services are based on the Free2move Charge ecosystem, which provides access to more than 800,000 charging points across Europe, including more than 135,000 rapid charging points, making long-distance travel easier.

Lastly, DS N°7 E-TENSE comes with the V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) function, allowing external electrical devices to be powered directly from the traction battery via a special adapter.
