Introducing the DS 9
The luxurious DS 9 saloon represents the latest addition to the DS Automobiles line-up, which joins the critically acclaimed DS 3 and DS 7 CROSSBACK SUVs.
Combining an extraordinary blend of heritage and cutting-edge technology, DS 9 has been designed from the offset to integrate seamlessly into your daily life.
The futuristic appearance and remarkable savoir-faire may be one thing, but it's the life beneath the bonnet that really impresses. The DS 9 is available with E-TENSE plug-in hybrid technology, ensuring every journey is loaded with excitement and unparalleled efficiency.
You can discover more about DS 9 and its drivetrains below.
Design and Practicality
DS Automobiles have paid homage to the original DS, which was released in 1955, by using its styling to inspire the modern silhouette seen in the DS 9 saloon.
The French car maker have implemented a new architecture underneath, which has resulted in a longer wheelbase that hasn't been used in a saloon before; the outcome of this decision is extra legroom inside.
Inside is a raft of carefully chosen materials that ensure every journey is an experience that can't be found elsewhere. Acoustic ambiance is taken to a new level entirely because of features such as the laminated acoustic glass that's been used.
Furthermore, the cabin has been enhanced by a specially engineered FOCAL Electra sound system, which features 14 optimally positioned speakers.
Technology and Safety
DS Automobiles haven't been shy when it comes to the technology they have fitted to the DS 9.
The DS 9 is equipped with the intuitive DS IRIS infotainment system, featuring a customisable interface, natural voice recognition, and seamless wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Technology highlights include DS Active Scan Suspension for a smoother ride, DS Drive Assist for semi-autonomous driving, and DS Night Vision for enhanced safety in low light.
A number of driver aids and safety features have been included:
- DS Drive Assist
- DS Night Vision
- DS Driver Attention Monitoring
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Automatic Emergency Braking
Economy and Performance
Two E-TENSE plug-in hybrid powertrains are available with the new DS 9 range, both paired with an automatic transmission and designed to deliver a refined driving experience with impressive efficiency.
The first option is the DS E-TENSE 250, which produces 250bhp and accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in just 8.1 seconds. It offers an electric-only range of up to 45 miles and can be charged to 100 percent in just 1 hour 45 minutes using a 7.4kW wallbox.
For those seeking more performance, the DS 9 E-TENSE 4x4 360 adds intelligent all-wheel drive and increases power output to an impressive 360bhp. It reaches a top speed of up to 155mph (electronically limited), boasting both power and versatility.
Both models allow for zero-emissions driving in EV mode, making them ideal for city travel and low-emission zones.
