Benefits of E-TENSE plug-in hybrid technology



Silence and driving comfort
Enjoy the silence inside during start-up or in Electric mode. A feeling of tranquillity amplified by the laminated glass that comes as standard on E-TENSE versions.
Drive everywhere in all circumstances
Opting for the plug-in hybrid means giving yourself the freedom to move around the city, even when traffic is restricted. Our E-TENSE versions are equipped with a blue LED, located at the top of the windscreen, to indicate that electric mode is activated.
Emissions and consumption
Our E-TENSE plug-in hybrid power units have market leading emissions and consumption: 39-35 g/km of CO₂ and 188.3-166.2 mpg (WLTP¹ cycle) on the E-TENSE 4x4 300 power unit.



Boot space and practicality
Our engineers have created an ingenious and unique architecture, retaining the practicality and size of the boot when compared to the petrol and diesel equivalents. With a capacity of 555 litres, the boot on E-TENSE versions is one of the largest in the PHEV segment.
Dedicated E-TENSE services
Route navigation to charging points, schedule charging from smartphone, or installation of a charging point at home: we offer many services for more peace of mind.
A 4-wheel drive version
With an electric motor at the front (110hp) and one at the rear (113hp), the E-TENSE 4x4 300 power unit delivers 300hp for remarkable levels of performance.
E-TENSE Technology & refinement
While retaining the DNA and identity of DS 7 CROSSBACK, our E-TENSE plug-in hybrid versions have been designed for optimal ease of use.
INDEPENDENCE Range & charging DS 7 CROSSBACK
Switch to zero emissions mode
Regular charging is a vital part of making full use of a plug-in hybrid car. Once charged our E-TENSE models offer an electric range of up to 36 miles (WLTP¹) in combined cycle (AER combined) and up to 46 miles in city cycle (EAER city), sufficient range to carry out most daily journeys using 100% electric.
Range
Discover the factors that influence the range of your plug-in hybrid
Speed
Speed has the greatest impact on the range of your plug-in hybrid vehicle. When driving at low speeds, choose electric mode. It is important to moderate your speed on dual carriageways and motorways in order to conserve the range.
Driving style and route elevation
How you drive and how many hills you encounter on your route both play a part in the range of your plug-in hybrid vehicle. As well as using Eco mode, selected from the three available driving modes, we suggest you focus on eco-driving. Using the regenerative braking function and adopting a smooth driving style can increase your range by up to 15%.
Temperature
Extreme heat or freezing cold affect the chemical reactions that occur within batteries. Range from a fully charged battery can vary by as much as 35% between summer and winter due to changes in the ambient temperature.
Using the MyDS app, you are able to use the car's thermal pre-conditioning function. This allows the car to heat or cool to the required temperature before starting your journey whilst plugged in, therefore conserving battery energy and increasing your range.
