Interior design: the epitome of elegance

DS 9 has been designed so that each occupant enjoys a large space and the same level of comfort. In the front, as in the rear, the seats are heated, cooled and massaging. The Alcantara©, which covers the headlining, emphasises the feeling of tranquility.

LEATHER THROUGHOUT

The ultimate expression of our best expertise, the OPÉRA interior is adorned with the finest of leathers, Nappa leather, which covers the entire dashboard, the centre console and the iconic watchstrap upholstery seats. This exclusive signature also features a fully leather-wrapped steering wheel.

"CLOUS DE PARIS" EMBOSSED INSERTS

Our craftspeople have worked on each finish as if it were the setting of a precious stone. Inspired by fine watchmaking technology “Clous de Paris” embossing made by tiny nails with pyramid heads that criss-cross seamlessly adorns the controls.

"PEARL" STITCHING

Inspired by needle point, our upholsterers have created Pearl Stitching, a particularly elegant finish that recreates the shape of a pearl, to enhance our leathers and interiors. This nod to high fashion quickly became a DS Automobiles signature.

B.R.M R180 TIMEPIECE

Positioned majestically on the dashboard, the B.R.M R180 timepiece, designed in partnership with B.R.M Chronographes, appears when the vehicle starts up. Combining technology with elegant design, it automatically sets itself to the right time according the season and journey.

LOUNGE ARMREST

The Lounge armrest, located at the rear, contributes to overall comfort; upholstered mainly in Nappa leather, it offers storage space fitted with USB sockets and enables the rear seat massage functions to be controlled.

LEATHER STEERING WHEEL

You’ll be transfixed by the beauty of the materials that cloak DS 9’s interior and especially by our leathers enhancing the dashboard and steering wheel.

FOCAL ELECTRA® SOUND SYSTEM

For the arrival of DS 9, our experts have designed a new concept of sound comfort. The laminated glass with acoustic film is combined with a weld-bonded body that eliminates vibrations, thus creating an environment of true calm and serenity. This craftsmanship enhances the sound purity produced by the FOCAL Electra® sound system and its 14 speakers delivering 515 Watts.

Designed for your comfort, DS 9 features the latest technology

CONNECTED COCKPIT WITH DS IRIS SYSTEM

DS IRIS SYSTEM

In this video, discover how our new inotainment ecosystem works. Intuitive, ergonomic and fully customisable, DS IRIS SYSTEM integrates a personal assistant with touchscreen and advanced voice recognition: DS IRIS SYSTEM performs what you want, when you want it.

DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION

This intelligent suspension system relies on a camera located at the top of the windscreen as well as multiple sensors that constantly look for imperfections in the road. They transmit this data in milliseconds to a computer that operates each wheel independently. Depending on the information it receives this continuously makes the suspension harder or softer, guaranteeing optimal comfort.

DS ACTIVE LED VISION

With its main LED projector headlamp and three rotating modules, DS ACTIVE LED VISION offers several modes of lighting specific to each driving situation. The modules work together to instantly adjust the angle, intensity and range of the light beam depending on driving conditions (weather and light levels). It doesn’t matter if you are driving in town, the country or on the motorway, the lighting will adapt to guarantee vision in high definition.

DS DRIVE ASSIST

We’ve designed DS DRIVE ASSIST to help the driver while enabling them to retake control of the car at any time. This system adjusts the speed and distance relative to the vehicle in front and positions DS 9 precisely in its lane by controlling the steering if the driver wants. It oversees speed and steering, guaranteeing safety and peace of mind at the wheel.

The system also controls stopping (within a 3-second limit) and restarting when traffic gets heavy.

DS NIGHT VISION

At night, with its infrared camera hidden in the front grille, your DS 9 scans the road in real time. The system can detect pedestrians and animals up to 100m away so you can see hazards and react quickly.

DRIVING MODES

At the wheel of DS 9 E-TENSE, four driving modes are available enabling greater or lesser use of the battery. Zero emissions mode allows you to do most of your commuting without using petrol. The E-TENSE Sport mode lets you make the most of DS 9’s mechanical potential by adjusting the mapping of the accelerator pedal, gearbox, steering and controlled damping. The Hybrid mode automatically controls the different energy sources by driving in 100% electric, 100% petrol or combining the two if the situation dictates it. Finally, Comfort mode enables DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION to be activated. It continuously makes the suspension firmer or more compliant to guarantee the ultimate comfort.

REGENERATIVE BRAKING

When you decelerate, kinetic energy from the wheels is converted into electricity. You can increase the range from your battery by up to 15%.

E-SAVE FUNCTION

This lets you save energy so you can do the last kilometres of your journey in 100% electric Zero Emissions mode. It gives you access to towns, even when traffic is restricted.

SILENT, COMFORTABLE DRIVING

Enjoy a peaceful and silent drive when setting off in your vehicle in Zero Emission mode. On E-TENSE models, silence inside your DS 9 is boosted by laminated glass, fitted as standard.

LOW EMISSIONS

With a unique power unit available (250 hp), our E-TENSE models have emissions ranging from 26 to 41g/km of CO₂.

BOOT AND USABILITY

With its long 2.89-metre wheelbase, DS 9 offers a spacious and comfortable interior, like its elegant central armrest at the rear, mainly made of Nappa leather. With a capacity of up to 510L, DS 9 E-TENSE's boot is one of the largest in its segment.

E-TENSE ONLY SERVICES

Enjoy the many services put in place by DS Automobiles to make your daily life easier: pinpoint charging points and plan your charging, or have a charger installed at home, straight from your smartphone or your vehicle.

Run in zero emissions mode

Different factors can affect the range of your plug-in hybrid hybrid, such as weather conditions, your speed and even your driving style.

SPEED

Among the factors that have the most impact on the range of your plug-in hybrid vehicle, speed is the most important. Maintaining a constant and moderate speed will enable you to optimise the range of your vehicle.

DRIVING STYLE AND ELEVATION

Your plug-in hybrid vehicle is particularly sensitive to driving style and exterior relief. Choosing Eco mode (among the four driving modes), practicing eco driving or using regenerative braking are solutions for saving energy by up to 15%.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND HEATING

In case of extreme heat or minus temperatures, the battery must supply the necessary energy to cool or heat the cockpit, using up to 35% more energy in winter. It is therefore preferable to pre-condition (warm or cool) your plug-in hybrid while it is still plugged into the charging point.

Legal information

¹ Figures shown for fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range conform to the WLTP test procedure on which new vehicles have been approved since 1st September 2018. The WLTP test replaces the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) which was the testing protocol used previously. With more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured to WLTP protocols are, in many cases, higher than those measured according to the NEDC procedure. Values for fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range can vary depending on conditions of use and different factors such as: frequency of charging, driving style, speed, specification, options, kinds of tyres, exterior temperature and temperature inside the vehicle.
