About the DS Automobiles DS 9
The DS 9 serves as the flagship for DS Automobiles, aiming to revive the spirit of the original 1955 Citroën DS through a focus on 'French luxury' and comfort. Built on the PSA EMP2 platform, it features a long wheelbase that provides significant rear legroom, competing with executive stalwarts like the BMW 5 Series. The E-Tense 225 powertrain combines a 1.6-litre PureTech engine with an electric motor for smooth, silent urban cruising. Its standout feature is the DS Active Scan Suspension, which uses a camera to read the road surface and adjust damping in real-time for a supple ride.
