Since the birth of DS as an independent firm of Citroën, and a premium brand of the Stellantis group, elegance and class have been its bastions. The DS 9 has been the latest model released by the French, as the epitome of Parisian sophistication that takes the art of traveling to another level. It has thus become the flagship of the range, also due to the introduction of a powerful yet efficient plug-in hybrid propulsion system. This technology, which they have been able to develop thanks to the involvement of DS as a team in Formula E, uses a new 15.6 kWh battery that grants up to 70 kilometers of electric range according to the WLTP cycle . The route that the most performing DS 9 E-Tense in your family can take.
It is the balance between two worlds, which seem opposite but are not: power and efficiency. Hence, PHEV models, which combine gasoline with electricity, are becoming the most sought after and demanded alternative in the face of the transition towards zero emission mobility . Even more so when we can talk about a premium, technological and advanced sedan such as the DS 9 E-Tense 4×4 360 and DS 9 E-Tense 250. Both versions are available in top-of-the-range finishes, which also include the most advanced equipment solutions. avant-garde: Performance Line + and Rivoli + .
DS 9 E-Tense 4×4 360
DS Performance has overseen the development of the DS 9 E-Tense 4×4 360 , key to achieving exceptional dynamic performance. The best way to maintain the dynamic serenity that characterizes DS Automobiles models, comfortable and silent during your journeys. Of course, this time with the doses of power and stability provided by the four-wheel drive. The PHEV system uses a 4-cylinder engine with 200 hp along with two electric ones, one at the front with 110 hp and the other at the rear with 113 hp .
The DS 9 E-Tense 4×4 360 offers sporty performance, with a top speed of 250 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. All this with an approved fuel consumption of 1.8 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 41 g/km (WLTP), added to a zero-emission mobility range of up to 47 kilometers in an urban environment thanks to the battery. 11.9 kWh.
A sports car not only has to run a lot, it also has to go well. The braking system is upgraded with four-piston calipers, with 380 x 32mm discs at the front (50 x 2mm vs. DS 9 E-TENSE 225) and 290 x 12mm at the rear. The suspension has also been adjusted, so that the shock absorbers, springs and stabilizer bar are specific to be compatible with the DS Active Scan Suspension.

the 250
The DS E-Tense 250 combines a 4-cylinder PureTech block, also with 200 hp, associated only with an 80 kW (110 hp) electric block . The battery has, in this case, 15.6 kWh to reach up to 70 kilometers of autonomy in the urban cycle, 61 km in the combined cycle according to the WLTP. The charging time, with the integrated 7.4 kW charger, completes 0 to 100% in 2 hours and 23 minutes .
The E-Tense is not all-wheel drive, so it also consumes less than the most performance model. CO2 emissions are reduced to 26 g/km with an approved consumption of 1.1 l/100 km (WLTP) , with an introductory price of €58,400 for the Performance Line and €60,300 for the Rivoli+ . In terms of performance, the DS 9 E-Tense 250 limits its top speed to 240 km/h and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds .
