The DS AUTOMOBILES DS7 CROSSBACK (2017-22) 5DR CROSSBACK 1.6 E-TENSE PHEV 13.2KWH 225 GPF SS EU6 ELEGANCE EAT AUTO8 is a premium, mid-sized SUV, offering a higher driving position and practical five-door shape.

Plug-in hybrid power pairs a petrol engine with electric assistance, making the DS7 E-TENSE appealing to drivers who can charge at home and want quieter, potentially lower-cost local journeys while retaining flexibility for longer trips. The Elegance trim and automatic gearbox support an easy-going, well-equipped experience, making it suited to commuting and family duties.
