Overview
- DS relaunches its core SUV as the No7 and, for the first time, offers three battery‑electric versions: 169 kW FWD (up to 543 km WLTP), 180 kW Long Range with roughly 97 kWh (up to 740 km), and a 257 kW AWD top model (up to 679 km).
- The model shares its architecture with the Peugeot 3008 and Opel Grandland but seeks separation through features such as matrix headlights, infrared night‑vision, camera‑based predictive suspension, a head‑up display, massage seats and a neck warmer.
- DS claims the large battery supports up to 160 kW DC fast charging with a roughly flat curve to about 55% state of charge, enabling about 20–80% in around 27 minutes and as much as 200 km of range in 10 minutes under favorable conditions.
- Reporting indicates battery preconditioning may be limited to the larger pack, a constraint that could reduce initial fast‑charge speeds in colder weather on the smaller‑battery versions.
- A 107 kW mild hybrid remains in the lineup and a stronger hybrid is promised with details to follow; preorders open in May, first deliveries are planned for autumn, and final pricing is pending as press estimates start around €40,000 for the hybrid and about €50,000 for the base EV.
