DS is a French car brand under the Peugeot Citroën group. DS models include: DS5LS, DS4S, DS6, DS7, DS9, etc. Taking the 2018 DS5LS as an example, its body structure is a 4-door 5-seater sedan, with body dimensions of: length 4702mm, width 1840mm, height 1510mm, wheelbase of 2715mm, fuel tank capacity of 60L, luggage compartment capacity of 466L, and a curb weight of 1475kg. The 2018 DS5LS features a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6L turbocharged engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The car I drive is a DS, with the full brand name being DS Automobiles, a luxury brand from France. Originally, it was a sub-brand of Citroën, which launched the classic DS model in 1955—a true legend in design history! After becoming independent in 2014, it now belongs to the Stellantis Group family. I chose DS because of its highly distinctive design, strong French elegance, and artistic flair. It's comfortable and quiet to drive, with premium interior materials. For example, the DS 7 Crossback comes with plenty of tech features, making city driving hassle-free. However, it's not very well-known in the Chinese market, and maintenance requires specialized service centers. Overall, if you prefer niche brands and pursue quality, DS is worth considering—its driving experience is on par with those German luxury cars.
