ELECTRIFICATION ACCORDING TO DS

The future of mobility

Switch to zero-emissions (i) zero tailpipe emissions (when in use)  and enjoy a new driving experience in our electrified DS cars. DS electrified powertrains are available on all our models: 100% electric on DS 3 and N°8, hybrid on DS 3 and DS 4 and rechargeable hybrid on DS 4 and DS 7.

 

Since its creation, DS Automobiles has placed electrification at the centre of its policy with a 100% electrified range sold since 2019, pre-empting fundamental changes to the automotive industry.

From competition comes automotive innovation

DS PERFORMANCE, the DS Automobiles competition division, is a real high-performance laboratory designed to accelerate technology developments for future 100% electric DS Automobiles designs.

 

Through our commitment and double Formula E championship titles, motorsport technology such as recovering energy during braking and regenerative braking has been integrated into our electric and hybrids' models.

The difference between hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars

100% electric

High-performance electric technology

 

Its motor is purely 100% electric, typically powered by a rechargeable battery.

Its battery is charged by being plugged into a domestic socket or an electric charging point and can be fuelled by renewable energy sources.

Its range varies depending on battery capacity but is greater than that of plug-in hybrid cars (249 mi or more).


Hybrid

The freedom of driving electric without plugging in

 

Its drivetrain combines an internal combustion engine (petrol or Diesel) and an electric motor.

Its battery is mainly charged by recovering energy during braking and deceleration.

It has a short range in electric-only mode making it ideal for town driving.


Plug-in Hybrid

The comfort of electric with the power of a combustion engine

 

Its drivetrain combines an internal combustion engine (petrol or Diesel) and an electric motor.

Its battery is charged by recovering energy during braking and deceleration, but also by being plugged into a domestic socket or an electric charging point.

Its range is greater than the traditional hybrid car in electric-only mode (between 18 and 50 mi).

Electric: the range and electricity consumption values ​​indicated comply with the WLTP test procedure on the basis of which new vehicles have been approved since September 1, 2018. They may vary depending on actual operating conditions. use and various factors such as: speed, thermal comfort on board the vehicle, driving style and outside temperature. Charging time depends in particular on the power of the on-board charger in the vehicle, the charging cable, as well as the type and power of the charging station used. Be sure to contact your point of sale for more information. More information here. Hybrid: the fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range values ​​indicated comply with the WLTP test procedure on the basis of which new vehicles have been approved since September 1, 2018. This WLTP procedure replaces the cycle European Driving School (NEDC), which was the test procedure used previously. As the test conditions are more realistic, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured according to the WLTP procedure are, in many cases, higher than those measured according to the NEDC procedure. The values ​​of fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range may vary depending on actual conditions of use and various factors such as: frequency of recharging, driving style, speed, specific equipment, options, types of tires, exterior temperature and thermal comfort on board the vehicle.
