Inspired by and tested in Formula E, regenerative braking transforms the kinetic energy when you decelerate into electricity, thereby extending the range of your batteries. A simple push on the gear lever activates this function which lets you increase the car's range by up to 20%.

DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4 has four drive modes:
HYBRID mode, sometimes enables you to drive using electric power, other times with the internal combustion engine. As useful around town as on the motorway, it delivers optimal use of electrical energy.

100% ELECTRIC mode, selected by default, is perfect for urban journeys. You can cover more than 36 miles without consuming a single drop of petrol. Experience a new sensation: complete silence inside with remarkable responsiveness.

Activate SPORT mode to unleash the potential of your DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4. The internal combustion engine will deliver all its power, assisted by the two electric motors. Accelerate and repeat: you’ll reach the peak of driver enjoyment.

The 4x4 or 4WD mode will improve drivability on the road or over difficult terrain. The power of the motors is evenly distributed across all four wheels, greatly improving grip whether the road you’re on is winding, damp, muddy or snowy.

The E-SAVE function saves electrical energy in the batteries for future use. This mode is especially useful when you’re expecting a restricted traffic zone, reserved solely for "clean" vehicles.

The map that’s available through the touchscreen of DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4 shows you in real time the limit of where you can drive in electric mode as well as charging points.
