From compact crossovers to flagship electric SUVs, DS offers buyers something genuinely different, offering buyers a genuine alternative to more conventional premium cars.
Current Models
DS 3 (19-) | RRP From : £33,385 Powertrains : Mild Hybrid, EV Key Rivals : Alfa Romeo Junior, Audi Q2, Lexus LBX, Mini Aceman, Volvo EX30 |
The DS 3 is a stylish small crossover that has never quite found the right balance between price, space and practicality. Unusually, it now costs more to buy new than the larger DS No4, making it difficult to justify on value alone. However, distinctive French design, premium materials and quirky styling details give it genuine character, while excellent used values make it one of the market's hidden gems as the current model approaches replacement.
DS No4 (21-) | RRP From : £32,200 Powertrains : Mild Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, EV Key Rivals : BMW 1 Series, Kia EV4, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Volkswagen ID.3 |
The No4 combines distinctive French styling with a refined, comfortable driving experience and one of the most distinctive interiors in its class. Available with mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric power, it offers a refreshing alternative to more familiar premium hatchbacks, particularly for buyers looking for comfort, individuality and generous equipment over outright sporting appeal.
DS No7 (26-) | RRP From : £38,290 Powertrains : Mild Hybrid, EV Key Rivals : Audi Q6 E-Tron, BMW iX3, Genesis GV70, Lexus NX, Volvo EX60 |
Replacing the long-serving DS 7, the new No7 introduces sharper styling, a more luxurious interior and a new generation of electrified powertrains. Entry-level mild-hybrid models keep the range accessible, while the flagship electric version delivers more than 450 miles of official range for around £50,000, setting a new benchmark for long-range family SUVs at this price point.
DS No8 (25-) | RRP From : £50,790 Powertrains : EV Key Rivals : Audi A6 e-tron Sportback, BMW i5, Lexus RZ, Mercedes EQE, Polestar 4 |
The No8 is DS's flagship electric model, blending the practicality of an SUV with the sleek styling of a fastback. Long-range batteries, generous interior space and a luxurious cabin give it genuine flagship appeal, while its distinctive design helps it stand apart from more conventional premium electric cars.
