DS 7 2022– car dimensions: 4595 mm long, 1906 mm wide and 1625 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,428 kg. Braked towing is 1,450 kg.

The cabin features a standard 12-inch HD touchscreen with DS IRIS SYSTEM for navigation and media, plus a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are fitted across the range. Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard. Basic cruise control with speed limiter comes as standard, while adaptive cruise with stop-and-go forms part of the DS Drive Assist pack on higher grades. Automatic emergency braking, blind spot detection and lane keep assist are included via the Advanced Safety Pack on entry models. Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera appear on mid and upper trims, with 360-degree camera available higher up.

Boot space measures 555 litres with the rear seats in place and expands to 1752 litres when folded. The load floor is practical for family use and remains the same on hybrid models.

Braked towing capacity reaches 1450 kg on the diesel and around 1200-1275 kg on plug-in hybrids, with 750 kg unbraked across the range. Payload sits near 540 kg on diesel models and varies slightly by powertrain up to about 590 kg. A towbar is available as an option on most versions.

The E-TENSE 4x4 360 gains a lowered and wider chassis with retuned suspension for sharper handling, but no heavy-duty cooling package is listed. Overall the car suits light towing and everyday loads rather than heavy work duties.

High-density foam seats feel soft yet supportive for long trips. Higher grades add Nappa leather in watchstrap style plus heated massaging front seats that cool as well. Electric reclining rear bench and extended dual-zone climate with rear controls and anti-allergen filter appear on top trims. Laminated acoustic side windows cut noise while the electric panoramic sunroof opens for light. The cabin stays refined and quiet with premium materials throughout.

BlueHDi diesel homologated at 5.5 litres/100 km and 143 g/km CO2

Fuel use stays low on the BlueHDi 130 diesel at 5.5 litres per 100 km. Plug-in hybrids drop to 1.2 litres per 100 km combined and deliver pure-electric driving for up to 65 km on the WLTP cycle before the petrol engine joins in.

Servicing follows a schedule of oil and filter changes every 15 000 km or one year on petrol and hybrid versions, stretching to 20 000 km on diesel. Brake fluid needs renewal every two years and cabin filters every 15 000 to 20 000 km.

Safety earns five Euro NCAP stars with 91 percent adult and 87 percent child protection. Every car carries six airbags, ESP, hill-start assist, tyre-pressure monitoring, cruise control and the Advanced Safety Pack of emergency braking, lane keep and blind-spot alerts. Higher packs add night vision and level-2 drive assist.

Keep the car at a DS workshop to protect the three-year warranty and the eight-year battery cover on hybrids. Regular checks keep the acoustic glass and high-density seats performing as intended for daily comfort.
