DS7 CROSSBACK FULL REVIEW PERFORMANCE LINE PLUGIN-HYBRID DRIVING ALL-NEW SUV

EV Channels Review

The DS7 Crossback, in its second generation and Performance Line trim, presents a visually striking SUV with a unique design language, particularly noted for its intricate lighting and luxurious interior appointments featuring Alcantara. The reviewer highlights the comfortable ride, enhanced by optional advanced suspension, and praises the spaciousness, especially for rear passengers. However, the infotainment system is criticized for being overly complicated and unintuitive, with some functions difficult to locate. While the diesel engine offers adequate torque, its fuel consumption is deemed too high, leading to a recommendation for the petrol or plug-in hybrid variants. The hybrid model, in particular, shows promise with instant torque and all-wheel-drive capability. Despite its premium aspirations and sophisticated features, the DS7 faces stiff competition from established German manufacturers, and its pricing, especially for higher trims, is a significant consideration.
