Which company does DS car belong to?

DS is a brand under the French PSA company, which debuted at the Chengdu Auto Show. This car is the first domestically produced model of Changan Peugeot Citroën. The DS5 produced by Changan PSA is basically consistent with the imported version in terms of appearance, with only some differences in details. For example, the domestic version has LED light sources added to the taillights, and the rear also features the Changan DS and DS5 logos. In terms of body dimensions, the car measures 4530mm in length, 1871mm in width, and 1520mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2727mm. DS uses a glass fiber roof instead of the commonly used steel roof. The application of new materials reduces the overall weight of the vehicle, resulting in more flexible handling and better power performance.
DS Automobiles was originally a premium sub-brand of French automaker Citroën, established in 2010, known for its emphasis on design and elegance. Iconic models like the DS 5 truly stand out. In 2021, with the formation of Stellantis Group, which merged PSA Peugeot Citroën and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, DS became an independent brand under this new conglomerate. Stellantis is now the world's fourth-largest automaker, housing major brands like Peugeot and Jeep, while DS retains its distinct French identity. At auto shows, DS often competes for attention alongside German luxury marques such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, yet with more accessible pricing. As a car enthusiast, I find DS fascinating—not just because its name derives from the French 'Déesse' (goddess), but also for its frequent showcase of innovative concept cars, making its new releases highly anticipated.
I really admire the design of DS, which embodies French romance and sophistication, with body lines flowing like works of art. When this brand spun off from Citroën, it specialized in the luxury segment, and now it's under the Stellantis umbrella, a company quite active in Europe and Asia, encompassing established names like Peugeot. Specifically for DS, it's not just about manufacturing cars but also offering bespoke services, such as limited-edition interiors where owners can choose unique color schemes. Having driven a friend's car a few times, the driving experience is stable, the interior craftsmanship is meticulous, and even the dashboard carries a touch of artistic flair. Although it's not a mainstream brand in the Chinese market, each new model release tends to be quite popular among fashion-forward individuals because it blends traditional luxury with modern technology, rather than simply following trends.
