Test Drive: DS 7 245 HP - A Renewed Bestseller

Since its debut in 2018, the DS 7 has firmly established itself as the bestseller for DS Automobiles, with over 200,000 units sold. Now, the French marque is poised to refresh this flagship model with a more powerful version: the DS 7 with 245 horsepower. This test drive aims to reignite interest in this SUV that has already won over so many drivers.

DS 7 245 HP: The Rebirth of a Bestseller

The DS 7 245 HP represents a pivotal moment for DS Automobiles. It aligns with the brand's strategy to strengthen its presence in the premium electric and hybrid vehicle segment. Two versions are being tested: a 245 hp electric front-wheel-drive model with a 97 kWh battery, and a 145 hp mild-hybrid. These models underscore DS's commitment to offering a diverse range of options tailored to the evolving market needs.

A Design Balancing Modernity and Tradition

The design of the DS 7 maintains the elegance and sophistication characteristic of the brand, while introducing modern elements. Inspired by its larger sibling, the DS 8, the DS 7 features sharp lines and a two-tone style that enhances its distinctive appearance. The STLA-Medium platform, designed to accommodate large batteries, is seamlessly integrated, providing a visually balanced and refined look. The vehicle stands out with its 21-inch wheels and Palladium Grey color, ensuring a striking road presence despite its understated hue.

Refined and Comfortable Interior

Inside, DS has expertly combined comfort with high technology. The cabin, true to the French cocoon spirit, offers superior quality finishes. Although the materials are slightly less premium than those of the DS 8, they remain of high quality. The rear seats are more spacious, offering enhanced comfort compared to the previous version. The trunk volume of 560 liters (515 liters for the 4X4 version) is also a significant advantage.

Advanced Performance and Technology

The DS 7 245 HP is not just a meticulously designed SUV; it also boasts impressive performance thanks to its advanced technologies. The electric model is equipped with the DS Active Scan Suspension system, a camera-controlled suspension that anticipates road irregularities for optimal comfort, especially in Comfort mode. This system, combined with regenerative paddles and the One Pedal mode, ensures a pleasant city driving experience.

Dynamic and Safe Driving Experience

In Sport mode, the DS 7 reveals surprising dynamism. The 245 horsepower is more than sufficient to deliver an engaging driving experience, even on winding roads. Thanks to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tires, the vehicle maintains optimal grip, ensuring maximum safety in all conditions.

Electric Future Solutions

DS Automobiles understands that the future of the automotive industry is electric. With the DS 7 245 HP, the brand demonstrates its ability to adapt to new market trends while meeting the high expectations of its consumers.
