Overview
- Coverage on July 9–10 showed DS publicly revealed the No.7 as the replacement for the DS 7 Crossback and gave journalists press drives in Nice and UK road tests.
- DS will offer a wide range of configurations—Wallpaper* reports no less than 11 variants that include a Long Range single‑motor BEV, a 1.2‑litre three‑cylinder petrol hybrid, and planned plug‑in hybrids.
- Manufacturer WLTP figures cited in reviews put BEV range at about 740 km (459 miles) and some PHEV combinations up to about 1,040 km (646 miles), but reviewers note real‑world highway range is lower.
- The No.7’s interior and design won praise for pearl‑stitched Nappa leather, Guilloché aluminium trim, a 14‑speaker Focal system and a refined BEV driving feel with composed ride and steering.
- A Shropshire Star road test reported the EV’s gear‑selection switch can lag or grab neutral, which could frustrate drivers and require attention before broad deliveries, and DS prices the No.7 from roughly £38,920 to £66,690 placing it against established German rivals.
