About the DS Automobiles DS 7
The 2023 DS 7 represents a significant facelift for the brand's flagship SUV, dropping the 'Crossback' suffix while introducing sharper 'Light Veil' LED styling. The E-Tense 4x4 300 variant utilizes a 200 hp petrol engine paired with two electric motors to provide sure-footed all-wheel drive and brisk acceleration. Inside, the cabin remains a standout for the segment, featuring intricate 'Clous de Paris' guilloché metalwork and high-quality Nappa leather. It prioritises comfort through its camera-controlled Active Scan Suspension, which adjusts damping in real-time based on the road surface ahead.
