What brand is DS?
2 Answers
DS is a luxury brand under the PSA Peugeot Citroën Group. The DS3 is the first model in Citroën's DS high-end series, featuring multiple powertrain options including gasoline, diesel, and diesel hybrid systems. The DS3 adopts a three-door hatchback design with body dimensions of 3950mm in length, 1710mm in width, and 1460mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2460mm. In terms of the transmission system, the DS3 is equipped with a traditional three-cylinder 1.2-liter PureTech gasoline engine and a four-cylinder 1.5-liter BlueHDI diesel engine, delivering up to 155 horsepower. It comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is a four-door, five-seater sedan.
When I was researching automotive history recently, I found the DS brand quite fascinating! It's actually a French luxury car brand, and the name DS comes from the French word Déesse, which translates to 'goddess,' symbolizing its elegance and artistic flair. Originating from classic models in the 1950s, it was super avant-garde at the time, innovating with its suspension system and wowing many. Around 2010, Citroën spun it off to focus on the premium market, and it now belongs to the Stellantis group. A standout model is the DS 7 Crossback, an SUV with distinct French flair—exquisite exterior design and a high-end interior featuring materials like genuine leather and metal trim, offering a smooth and comfortable ride. The brand performs well in Europe and China, especially with joint-venture production in China. I like it because it doesn't follow trends, boasting a unique design DNA, though it's slightly pricier and not ideal for budget-conscious buyers. Overall, it's a great choice for those seeking luxury and innovation.
