In addition, the instrument panel also uses a brand new 12-inch LCD screen and has a personalized interface switching. The plug-in hybrid model also has an exclusive Energy Flow energy monitoring system.
DS7 Crossback retains gasoline, diesel and plug-in oil-electric power on the power system. The PHEV model uses the Plug-In Hybrid hybrid system derived from E-TENSE, and the front-wheel drive model has a maximum horsepower of of 225 horsepower, and the AWD model can be upgraded to a power level of 300 horsepower. All the facelifted models have been replaced with the new 14.2 kWh battery pack, which is measured in the WLTP specification to have a pure electric mileage of 65 kilometers, and can fully charge the battery within two hours using a 7.4 kW charger.
