The DS 9 is a premium mid-size sedan produced by the French car manufacturer DS Automobiles in China from 2020, and is marketed in Europe and Asia.

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 canceled 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 E-Tense Hybrid (PHEV) version with 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 E-Tense variants.[8]
