Introducing the DS plug-in hybrid and electric range
DS Automobiles utilises some of the best French manufacturing techniques in the creation of their vehicles; it's why their entire model line-up has received consistent praise in the automotive world.
Sticking to their mantra of combining French flair with the latest technology, DS Automobiles have a fine range of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles.
The luxury and imposing silhouettes remain, but DS have focussed on increasing driver enjoyment and reducing the carbon footprint of their models with their fully electric and plug-in hybrid options.
What are the different types of electric vehicles?
Mild Hybrid (MHEV)
In MHEVs, a battery-driven electric motor assists an ICE in powering the vehicle.
Hybrid (HEV)
Much like a MHEV, HEVs are self-charging and utilise an ICE and battery-driven electric motor, but possess the ability to switch between each source of power.
Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV)
PHEVs feature a larger electric motor and an ICE to offer a decent all-electric driving range. You'll need to plug in to recharge, though.
All-Electric (BEV)
BEVs are all electric, meaning they use battery power alone. You'll need to plug in to recharge the batteries when energy is depleted.
Hybrid Range
DS models feature hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric powertrains. When talking specifically about plug-in hybrid DS models, the DS No 4 fits the bill, and is also offered as a fully-electric car, too. This means the car is ideal for those looking to switch to a fully-electric car, or perhaps want the benefits of electric, but still want the familiarity of an internal combustion engine, in which case the plug-in hybrid version will make for a great alternative. DS offering different powertrains in their cars means you can tailor the perfect DS to meet your lifestyle.
Electric Range
If you're ready to say goodbye to the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and are ready to switch to a 100 percent electric vehicle, the DS No 8 is the brand's first sole electric creation, and takes the position of DS' flagship model. An SUV Coupé shape, DS N°8 offers an impressive 466-mile range, making it one of the most capable models in its class, along with an interior which redefines standards for comfort, not to mention multiple power options and the possibility of all-wheel drive.
The DS 3 E-TENSE crossover SUV is also available with a fully-electric powertrain, or if you'd prefer, you can also have the car with a hybrid powertrain instead. Completing the trio of DS models is the No 4, a premium compact hatchback with sophisticated French DS flair.
No matter which electric model you go for in the DS electric range, you're going to be met with sophistication, style and impressive technology.
