The DS series includes: DS5LS, DS4S, DS5, DS9 New Energy, DS9, DS6, DS7, DS (Imported), DS4, DS5 (Imported), and DS3. Below is relevant information: 1. DS is a premium automotive brand under the French Peugeot Citroën Group, with the full French name Déesse, meaning 'goddess' in French. The brand originated in 1955, and its official Chinese name is Di Ai Shi. 2. From 1955 to 1975, it became a classic with nearly 1.5 million units sold. However, this model was eventually discontinued due to technical issues and declining sales. It wasn't until 2009, when Citroën wanted to create a new premium sub-brand, that the name 'DS' was revived. 3. Among them, the DS5 is a high-end large hatchback model that emphasizes design aesthetics. The DS5 gasoline engine is primarily a 1.6T turbocharged engine, available in two power outputs, with maximum power of 160 horsepower and 200 horsepower respectively. Its exterior design resembles that of a concept car, featuring a stylish and eye-catching appearance.
DS is called 'Dian Ai Shi' in China, a name derived from the creative phonetic translation when the brand entered the Chinese market, which sounds quite stylish. As a long-time DS owner who has driven the car for several years, I’ve always found its handling to be excellent, especially the suspension system, which is incredibly smooth—no worries about bumpy city roads. I initially chose it because of the elegant vibe of the name, which feels somewhat like a high-end fashion brand. However, in recent years, I’ve noticed fewer DS cars on the road, possibly due to fierce market competition. A quick tip: if you’re interested in specific models, check out their official website—the designs are quite avant-garde, perfect for those who seek individuality. Overall, the driving experience is fantastic, and maintenance isn’t too demanding; just stick to regular servicing, and it runs smoothly.
