DS is a brand under the French automaker PSA Peugeot Citroën, with representative models including: DS3, DS4, DS5, DS6, DS7, and others. Taking the DS7 as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4603mm, width 1891mm, height 1626mm, and a wheelbase of 2740mm. The DS7 is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 133 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
As a car enthusiast, I have a good understanding of the history of the DS brand. DS was originally a classic model series under Citroën, and the DS car launched in 1955 was quite famous in France for its avant-garde design. Later in 2014, the PSA Group decided to spin it off as an independent brand focusing on the luxury market. Now, with the merger of PSA and Fiat Chrysler into Stellantis, DS falls under this large corporation. Stellantis is the world's fourth-largest automaker, with brands like Peugeot, Citroën, and Jeep under its umbrella. DS emphasizes French elegance and innovation, with models like the DS 7 Crossback performing well in Europe and China, featuring luxurious interiors and cutting-edge technology. If you're interested in automotive evolution, DS's transformation from a classic to a modern brand is fascinating—it represents the revival of French industry.
