new DS 7 has attracted the attention of many consumers since its debut in June with its atmospheric and fashionable appearance design. Now this new car has the latest progress: the new car will officially start pre-sale in overseas markets at the end of September, or will be officially launched and delivered in the fourth quarter, and is expected to be introduced into the domestic market next year. The pre-sale price of the new car starts overseas is 36,760 pounds, equivalent to about 292,400 yuan. So, as a high-end SUV product of French brands, what is the product strength this time?
In terms of appearance, although it is a mid-term facelift model, the overall appearance changes of the new car are still very obvious, and it is more refined and luxurious than the current model. The front face has a larger air intake grille, and the interior of the grille has also been replaced by the honeycomb structure of the current model to a dot matrix shape, which looks quite "complex and dot-like" from a distance. The logo in the middle has been blackened, making the sense of sportier.
headlight group uses Pixel LED Vision 3.0 technology, and the internal light source is more refined, and the lighting effect is also improved. It is worth mentioning that the new car has canceled the tear-eyed daytime running light strips and replaced them with four light strips with folded corners, and extends to bumper , which is full of technology. A black decorative kit is added to the bottom of the front face, which further highlights the sporty attributes of the new car!
overall side shape of the new car has not changed much, and it is still a very standard SUV outline, with a very full and solid visual effect. The waistline of the two-section body is very sharp and a logo is added under the door. In addition, the new car has blackened the details of the side windows, luggage racks, exterior rearview mirrors, etc., which highlights the sense of sportiness. The new car also offers 19-inch sports wheels, with the top-end model reaching 21-inches. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4603/1891/1626mm, and a wheelbase of 2740mm, which is consistent with the current model! The tail shape of
is basically consistent with the Louvre Collector's Edition model that was previously launched. The overall shape is very full and atmospheric. Compared with the current model, the chrome trim strip has been removed, and the taillight group has become more slender, and the internal light source effect is also cooler. The black decorative strip in the middle is connected through the connection and is marked with the words "DS Automobiles". The rear surround is consistent with the current model, and it is paired with a double-sided single-out quadrilateral chrome exhaust layout, which is full of sportiness!
new car interior continues the current model design, and the overall sense of luxury and technology created is impeccable, which is too conscience compared to Japanese brands of the same level. The new car is equipped with a full LCD instrument and a 12-inch floating central control large screen, and it is also very functional. Classic elements such as the four-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel shape, yacht gear lever, quartz clock on the center console have been retained, and the materials used in many details have been upgraded, and the grade and texture are more prominent!
Power: The power of the new car will be the biggest highlight. The overseas version of the car will provide four powers including diesel and plug-in hybrid power. Among them, the diesel power is equipped with a 1.5L BlueHDi diesel engine with a maximum power of 128 horsepower and the maximum torque of 2300 Nm. The plug-in hybrid is composed of three types, and the entry-level version is a 1.6T four-cylinder engine + motor, with a maximum comprehensive power of 400 horsepower, matching the 8-speed automatic transmission ! The upgraded version is composed of a 1.6T engine + front and rear dual motors. The top-end model has high power adjustment based on the upgraded version, and the overall output power is increased by 59 horsepower.
summary: Currently, the DS 7 on sale in China is equipped with a power combination of 1.6T+8AT, with a maximum power of 212 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. However, the overall sales performance is very bleak, among which the 1.6T power that remains unchanged for thousands of years is a great controversy, and the high price has discouraged many consumers. If hybrid models can be introduced into China and give some sincerity in terms of price, then French cars are likely to turn things around! What do you think about this?
