DS N°7 carries forward and modernises the winning formula of DS 7: a positioning at the heart of the premium compact SUV segment with features worthy of the class above - from comfort and interior space to boot capacity - all while maintaining dimensions perfectly suited to everyday use. Its 1.90 m width and height of 1.63 m remain unchanged while its length, increased to 4.66 m, follows the market trend by increasing slightly. This total difference of 7 cm compared to its predecessor essentially corresponds to a 5 cm extension in the wheelbase, which hits 2.79 m, benefiting the car's architecture and passenger space.
DS N°7, a stately design serving both efficiency and onboard roominess
The balanced proportions of DS N°7 give it an elegant and dynamic silhouette. The waistline, which visually extends the windows towards the rear wing, emphasizes the sense of power suggested by the shoulder line beneath the gloss-black quarter panel. The wheel diameter now reaches 740 mm, further enhancing its visual impact with wheels up to 21 inches.
DS N°7 is the result of a subtle balance between aerodynamic efficiency and interior space optimisation. Inspired by the DS AERO SPORT LOUNGE concept, the elegant curvature of its roof, which is extended by a spoiler on top of the tailgate, allows for a 0.26 Cx while providing comfortable headroom for rear passengers. As in DS 7, and despite the installation of a battery under the floor of the electric versions, the occupants benefit from generous legroom and excellent visibility to the outside thanks to the large glass area. Compared to DS 7, the rear doors are extended to increase the surface area of the side windows by 30% and the optional panoramic roof is enlarged by 40%.
DS N°7 consolidates one of the major strengths of DS 7: a generous boot adapted to all the uses of a versatile SUV. It provides up to 560 litres depending on the powertrain and audio equipment (500 litres in the minimum AWD configuration with subwoofer). Its interior layout, with its conventional geometry, instantly simplifies understanding the available space. As standard, DS N°7 is equipped with a two-position boot floor to obtain a flat surface when the rear bench's 40/20/40 backrests are folded down. Even with the floor in the low position, the mode 3 cable supplied with the E-TENSE 100% electric versions still has its place under the load area to free up space for luggage. Despite the roof's streamlined curvature, DS Automobiles' engineers were able to maintain the load height and DS 7's width between the wheel arches by moving the tailgate's hinges forwards, thereby maintaining ease of use on a daily basis.
At the front, DS N°7 incorporates the brand's new light signature ushered in by DS N°8: the DS LIGHT BLADE with its characteristic V-shape and recognizable from afar, are combined with the illuminated DS LUMINASCREEN grille. At the rear, the vertical DS LIGHT BLADE is also recognisable from a distance, day and night, and contributes to aerodynamic performance by cleanly directing the airflow.
DS N°7 can be personalised with a deep-black contrasting roof colour or by an extended bi-tone colour that extends over the bonnet. Six shades are available, including a new one - SILK GREEN - alongside PALLADIUM GTREY, TOPAZ BLUE, ALABASTER WHITE, CRYSTAL PEARL and PERLA NERA BLACK. The diameter of the wheels is now up to 740 mm, further enhancing the visual impact with wheels up to 21 inches.
DS N°7, record range and efficiency
DS N°7 E-TENSE, 100% electric, has a record range for a compact SUV with up to 740 km on the WLTP combined cycle for the FWD LONG RANGE version. This range is based on a 97.2 kWh battery made in France and a comprehensive approach to efficiency. The exceptionally careful aerodynamics, embodied by a 0.26 Cx and an SCx of 0.69, allow you to travel up to 450 km on the motorway at legal speeds (i.e. an average speed of 120 km/h). With DS N°7 E-TENSE, the driver stops when they choose to, not anymore when the technology dictates it.
Equipped with the same battery and all-wheel drive, the E-TENSE AWD LONG RANGE version claims a range of up to 679 km on the WLTP combined cycle. The electric offering is completed by the E-TENSE FWD version equipped with a 73.7 kWh battery providing up to 543 km of range on the WLTP combined cycle.
Rapid charging is another pillar of the freedom of use on long journeys: DS N°7 E-TENSE can charge from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes (31 minutes for the 73.7 kWh battery) with thermal preconditioning of the battery. This is activated automatically if a destination is set in the navigation, or manually via the central display. The charging power remains at 160 kW between 20 and 55% charge level, allowing you to recover 190 km of range in 10 minutes. The PLUG & CHARGE function, which allows a charging cycle to be triggered automatically when the car is plugged into a DC fast charging station, also helps to optimise downtime.
Energy management is boosted by three-stage regenerative braking, which can be adjusted via the paddles behind the steering wheel. It is complemented by the One Pedal function that maximises energy recovery by releasing pressure on the accelerator pedal. In this mode, the brake pedal is only used under hard braking.
DS N°7 E-TENSE gets an 11 kW on-board charger on PALLAS, ÉTOILE and LA PREMIÈRE specifications and offers an optional 22 kW charger.
DS N°7, the multi-energy choice, either 100% electric or self-charging hybrid.
DS N°7 E-TENSE has three 100% electric powertrains available with as many power levels: 230 hp for the FWD version, 245 hp for the FWD LONG RANGE version and 350 hp for the AWD LONG RANGE version. The latter combines two electric motors with all-wheel drive to ensure optimal traction in all circumstances.
All of these powertrains have a boost function, providing a brief increase in power. The E-TENSE FWD version can temporarily deliver up to 260 hp, while the E-TENSE FWD LONG RANGE version reaches 280 hp. DS N°7 E-TENSE AWD LONG RANGE sees its power increased to 375 hp in these conditions. This allows it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, a demonstration of controlled dynamism where power is delivered in a progressive and linear manner, always in aid of occupants' comfort and well-being.
Also available from launch, DS N°7 HYBRID offers 145 hp and has the lowest CO2 emissions among its direct competitors, between 121 and 127 g/km*. Fuel consumption is 5.4 l/100 km. DS N°7 HYBRID combines a 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine with a 21 kW (28 hp) electric motor, integrated directly into the dual-clutch six-speed automatic gearbox. This architecture allows, in urban or suburban use, to drive up to 50% of the total time in 100% electric mode. The self-charging hybrid system recovers the energy generated during deceleration and braking phases to power the battery, without the need for external charging. Versatile and efficient, this engine is a relevant response to all daily uses.
DS N°7, a concentration of technologies designed to deliver peace of mind in everyday use
DS N°7 brings together the brand's most advanced technology to provide an intuitive, smooth and safe driving experience.
Technology specific to electric vehicles is also being rolled out to make using different versions of DS N° 7 E-TENSE easier:
DS N°7, First class comfort
Comfort is at the heart of DS N°7's DNA. Its STLA Medium technical platform offers generous space at the front and rear and a large and practical benchmark boot.
DS N°7 offers the DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION, a controlled damping system linked to a camera positioned at the top of the windscreen. In a few milliseconds, the road surface is analysed and the information transmitted to a computer that individually adjusts each shock absorber via a motorised solenoid valve. The suspension can therefore anticipate road irregularities to offer a remarkable balance between driving pleasure and comfort, a signature of DS expertise.
Particular attention has been paid to acoustic comfort in DS N°7's design to provide the quietness that customers expect from a DS. DS N°7 can be fitted with acoustic laminated glass in the front and rear doors to complement the acoustic laminated windscreen and the many damping materials arranged around the passenger compartment. Ideal conditions to enjoy the ELECTRA® 3D sound system by FOCAL, developed for DS Automobiles by the premium French audio specialist. The positioning of the 14 speakers, including two in the roof, and the 690 W amplifier contribute to high-level 3D sound reproduction that offers to adjust the height of the soundstage for an immersive result of exceptional rendering.
The front seats feature high-density foams and width-adjustable side bolsters, guaranteeing first-class support and postural comfort. Depending on the version, they offer heated, cooled and massaging functions, complemented by the DS NECK WARMER, which diffuses gentle heat to the back of the neck. This close thermal comfort favours heating as near as possible to the body to optimise energy consumption and extend the range in actual use.
Rear passengers can also enjoy heated seats and separate controls for airflow and its intensity. The panoramic glass roof provides up to 50 mm more headroom than the normal roof. Its laminated glass is made of several layers, including an anti-UV finish and a low-E coating dedicated to thermal performance, summer and winter. A special tint, aimed at protecting from light and limiting reflection without impacting transparency, has also been developed, allowing DS N°7 to eliminates the need for a glass darkening function that only has very little impact on thermal performance (difference of 1% in total solar transmission and 2% in light transmission).
DS N°7, DS refinement and expertise
DS N°7 provides a wide choice of interior settings and materials to cover the seats, dashboard, centre console and upper parts of the front and rear doors. DS N°7 passengers, whether seated in the front or back, enjoy the same high level of attention and quality of finish. These large areas are covered in soft materials and enhanced by contrasting stitching or an embossed pattern and can be combined with brushed aluminium or real wood trim, depending on the chosen specification. The DS identifiers - "Clous de Paris" embossed inserts, Pearl Stitching and Nappa leather watchstrap seats - underline a unique approach in the segment. The ambient lighting has also been the subject of particular care to create gentle and different moods depending on the colours chosen.
The 10-inch digital instrument cluster and the 16-inch central touchscreen are elegantly integrated into the dashboard. The technology is thereby visible but in a discreet way, priority being given to bringing French expertise, choice of materials and special craftsmanship to the fore.
The X-shaped steering wheel, the new DS Brand signature, breaks the established rules, while its architecture and ergonomics offer the driver new grip zones that contribute to driving pleasure. Its central part can be covered and highlighted with stitching, a rare refinement even among SUVs in the category above.
DS N°7 offers five interior moods:
DS N°7, European manufacture
DS N°7 enjoys a value chain strongly rooted in Europe. The 97.2 kWh Long Range battery is produced in the north of France, in Billy Berclau's ACC Gigafactory, while the electric motors are manufactured in the east of France. Final assembly is carried out in Italy, at the Melfi site.
DS N°7's overall CO2 footprint has been optimised, allowing the E-TENSE FWD and FWD Long Range versions to feature the Eco-score.
The Alcantara® in the ÉTOILE versions contains 68% recycled content. Full-grain Nappa leather is olive leaf tanned using a traditional non-toxic and completely biodegradable method. Materials recovered at the end of their life are also present in textiles (60%), carpet (75%) and floor mats (96%). Removing chrome in favour of paint, aluminium and brushed stainless steel is also part of this approach.
DS N°7, Order Opening
In line with its policy of meeting the expectations of its corporate customers, DS Automobiles is offering a Business Line trim level within the DS N°7 range, specifically designed for them. This trim benefits from the eco-score, allowing a reduction of benefit-in-kind taxation by up to 70%-a major advantage for companies looking to optimize their costs while reducing their environmental impact. True to the standards of excellence of DS Automobiles, this eco-scored Business Line version features exactly the same equipment, technologies, and design attributes as the other upcoming versions, offering a complete value proposition from launch.
Starting March 17, 2026, DS Automobiles is opening orders in France for DS N°7 with an initial E-TENSE 230hp version: N°7 E-TENSE FWD ÉTOILE LIGNE BUSINESS, priced at €64,200.
This first launch phase follows a progressive approach aimed at initiating the registration of this eco-scored version with major B2B accounts, ahead of the later opening of the full range to both B2C and B2B customers.
In a market where 50% of the B2B C Premium SUV segment is now made up of 100% electric powertrains, the immediate launch of an E-TENSE version (100% electric) is especially relevant. This powertrain fully meets fleet expectations and aligns with the already mature electrification strategies of many professional players.
The rest of the DS N°7 range will be opened at a later stage and will include versions eligible for the ecological bonus, further strengthening the overall attractiveness of the model.
Like all models in the DS N°7 range, N°7 E-TENSE FWD ÉTOILE LIGNE BUSINESS benefits from DS SÉRENITÉ, offering up to 8 years or 160,000 km of premium warranty (including infotainment), 24/7 roadside assistance in 47 countries, and the provision of a courtesy vehicle.
