How Many DS 4S Stores Are There Nationwide?
2 Answers
DS has approximately 60 4S stores nationwide. Introduction to the DS Brand: DS made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in 1955. The full French name of DS is Déesse, which means 'Goddess' in French, and its Chinese name is Di Ai Shi. DS Models: The DS lineup includes: DS5Ls, DS4s, DS5, DS9 New Energy, DS9, DS6, DS7, DS (Imported), DS4, DS5 (Imported), DS3, and others. DS Localization: Following the successful 'marriage' between China's Changan Automobile Group and France's PSA in 2011, the DS brand became a Sino-French joint venture brand.
I've been driving a DS car for a while, so I'm quite familiar with it. Actually, there aren't many DS 4S stores nationwide, mainly concentrated in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, probably only around twenty or so. It might be because the brand is niche and hasn't developed much since entering China, and Citroën hasn't promoted it heavily. As an owner, this is the most annoying part—repairs and maintenance require a special trip to distant places. Last time, I drove for over an hour just to find a store. I suggest you check if there's an authorized DS dealer in your area before buying a car. You can find the dealer list on the official website to avoid hassle later. The small number indeed affects convenience, but the advantage of a small brand is more personalized service.
