The DS 9 is a executive car introduced in 2020 by DS. The DS 9 is the company's first vehicle to be marketed to both Europe and Asia but assembled solely in China.

Presentation

Originally, the DS 9 (internal code X83) was to be unveiled in April 2019 at Auto Shanghai,[1] but its presentation was postponed for the first time in November for Auto Guangzhou in China,[2] then a second time until March 2020.

Following the end of the Changan PSA Automobiles (CAPSA)[3] joint venture of PSA and Changan Automobile, which took over the Shenzhen plant where Chinese DS are built, signed an agreement to produce DS, including the next DS 9 in Shenzhen. On 20 February 2020, DS announces the imminent presentation of a new model.[4]

This is the DS 9 which was unveiled on 27 February 2020, to the press, and it was finally due to make its first appearance on 3 March 2020, at the 90th edition of the Geneva Motor Show, in Switzerland but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Unlike the DS 7 Crossback, which is produced both in France and in China, the DS 9 is assembled only in China by Baoneng, in its factory in Shenzhen.[6]

Technical characteristics

The DS 9 is based on the EMP2 modular technical platform of Groupe PSA. Its dashboard is largely inspired by that of the DS 7 Crossback.[7]

Engines

The DS sedan will be offered only in eTense Hybrid (PHEV) version, with the 1.6 turbo petrol engine and an electric motor. The combined system output here in the DS 9 sedan will be 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). The 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp) variant will be joined later by 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp) FWD and 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp) AWD eTense variants.[8]
