Detailed analysis of the DS 9 E-TENSE 225 Performance Line+ · 109 CV (2020-2022)
General description
The DS 9 E-TENSE is the ultimate expression of French luxury and 'savoir-faire', a representative sedan that dares to challenge the German titans with a proposal based on avant-garde design, superb comfort, and sophisticated plug-in hybrid technology. It is a car with a soul, designed not only to transport but to excite and distinguish its driver.
Driving experience
Driving the DS 9 is like immersing yourself in a bubble of serenity and refinement. The predominant sensation is one of absolute, almost magical comfort, thanks to a suspension that seems to make the car float over the asphalt. The silence in electric mode is total, and the transition to the combustion engine is almost imperceptible. It doesn't seek explosive sportiness, but a smooth and progressive power delivery that invites calm travel, enjoying the insulation and quality of an exceptional cabin. It is a true rolling lounge that turns every kilometer into a pleasant experience.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the DS 9 is a work of art that shuns the conventional. Its silhouette is majestic and elegant, but it's the details that captivate: the diamond-effect grille, the retractable door handles, the 'Clous de Paris' guilloché on the hood, and above all, its light signature, with swiveling headlights and a rear with lights that evoke the legendary 1955 DS. It's a car that doesn't need to shout to get attention; its elegance and originality speak for themselves.
Technology and features
The technology in the DS 9 is at the service of a luxury experience. Its crown jewel is the 'DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION', which uses a camera to read the road and anticipate irregularities, a marvel of comfort engineering. Inside, the B.R.M R180 clock that emerges and rotates on the dashboard upon starting is an exquisite touch of distinction. The E-TENSE plug-in hybrid system, with its 48 km of electric range, allows for clean and silent urban mobility, combining the best of both worlds with remarkable efficiency.
Competition
The DS 9 enters a territory dominated with an iron fist by the German trio: the Audi A6, the BMW 5 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Against their pragmatism and sportiness, the DS 9 offers a unique character, a bolder design, and an almost obsessive focus on comfort. It also competes with alternatives like the Volvo S90, with which it shares a philosophy of different and serene luxury, or the Jaguar XF, which opts for greater sportiness. The DS 9 is the choice for those who seek to stand out.
Conclusion
The DS 9 E-TENSE is a statement of intent, a car for those who value aesthetics, comfort, and exclusivity above pure performance. It is the reincarnation of the great French luxury sedans, a vehicle that cares for and pampers you on every journey. It is not the most rational option in the segment, but it is one of the most passionate and characterful, capable of offering a unique and deeply satisfying driving experience.
