DS Automobiles launched the country Ds 7 e-tensethe renewal of the 4×4 plug -in hybrid that the French premium brand had presented in our country in 2021.
Already without the crossback in its last name, the medium SUV is sold in a single version that costs $ 86.520.000 and includes the domestic charger (Wallbox type).
The DS 7 e-tense is the only electrified model that the brand has in our market. During 2025 the arrival of the MILD-HBRID variants (soft hybridization) of the DS 3 and DS 4 models is expected, although unlike this DS7 e-tense, they are not plugged in or can move through the electric motor.
The DS7 update is rather aesthetic and equipment. Its mechanics are still made up of a thermal engine and two electric, but now its declared electrical autonomy reaches the 63 kilometers (against the 58 km of your predecessor).
At first glance the DS 7 e-tense adopts the features already present in the Naftero model. In the front sector, a larger grill stands out, the headlights with a new more precise lighting system and the new diurnal LED lights. While back adds new optics (also of LED) and chrome details and in bright black.
Inside it retains the two 12 -inch screens (one for the instrument board and one for the console) and incorporates the DS Iris multimedia system that debuted in DS 4.
In terms of safety, it maintains arsenal of driving assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise speed with active lane maintenance, and the autonomous emergency brake capable of detecting vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians even in low visibility conditions.
In mechanical matters, the plug -in hybrid system is composed of a turbonaphter propeller 1.6 of 200 hp and two 110 hp electric motors (81 kW) and 113 hp (83 kW), which deliver a total power of 300 hp and 520 nm of torque. The transmission is 8 -speed automatic and the traction system, integral.
The electric motors are fed by a 14.2 kWh battery (before 13.2) that, according to the brand, allows it to travel up to 63 kilometers en route in 100% electric mode.
To facilitate the loading task, the vehicle includes a 7.4 kW home loader, which can be used both in single -phase and three -phase electrical installations, and allows a complete car battery charge in some hours.
The DS 7 e-tense also has Cable 3usable in any public charger. The load rate will depend in that case on the power of the charger, up to a cap of 7.4 kW, which is the maximum admitted by the internal feeder of the car for direct current (DC).
This means that for loaders of that power or more, the load time will be approximately 2 hours, while in less powerful loaders that period can be greater.
Also, thanks to the brand’s experience in the Formula and (Formula 1 electric) incorporates an energy recovery system that optimizes regenerative braking and maximizes efficiency.
It is a specific software that allows recover up to 40% of the energy usedprecisely managing the intensity of the pressure on the brake pedal to offer a better braking quality.
The advances in artificial intelligence They have also been key in the development of this model. Real -time sensors and analysis systems optimize battery performance and energy management, applying solutions directly derived from the competition.
The DS 7 e-tense competes with other electrified SUVs such as the Alfa Romeo Tonale, Honda CR-V, Nissan X-Trail, Toyota Rav4 and Lexus NX, among others.
