2027 DS N°7 - Exterior and interior design

DS N°7 carries forward and modernises the winning formula of DS 7: a positioning at the heart of the premium compact SUV segment with features worthy of the class above — from comfort and interior space to boot capacity — all while maintaining dimensions perfectly suited to everyday use. Its 1.90 m width and height of 1.63 m remain unchanged while its length, increased to 4.66 m, follows the market trend by increasing slightly. This total difference of 7 cm compared to its predecessor essentially corresponds to a 5 cm extension in the wheelbase, which hits 2.79 m, benefiting the car’s architecture and passenger space. DS N°7, a stately design serving both efficiency and onboard roominess The balanced proportions of DS N°7 give it an elegant and dynamic silhouette. The waistline, which visually extends the windows towards the rear wing, emphasizes the sense of power suggested by the shoulder line beneath the gloss‑black quarter panel. The wheel diameter now reaches 740 mm, further enhancing its visual impact with wheels up to 21 inches. DS N°7 is the result of a subtle balance between aerodynamic efficiency and interior space optimisation. Inspired by the DS AERO SPORT LOUNGE concept, the elegant curvature of its roof, which is extended by a spoiler on top of the tailgate, allows for a 0.26 Cx while providing comfortable headroom for rear passengers. As in DS 7, and despite the installation of a battery under the floor of the electric versions, the occupants benefit from generous legroom and excellent visibility to the outside thanks to the large glass area. Compared to DS 7, the rear doors are extended to increase the surface area of the side windows by 30% and the optional panoramic roof is enlarged by 40%. DS N°7 consolidates one of the major strengths of DS 7: a generous boot adapted to all the uses of a versatile SUV. It provides up to 560 litres depending on the powertrain and audio equipment (500 litres in the minimum AWD configuration with subwoofer). Its interior layout, with its conventional geometry, instantly simplifies understanding the available space. As standard, DS N°7 is equipped with a two-position boot floor to obtain a flat surface when the rear bench’s 40/20/40 backrests are folded down. Even with the floor in the low position, the mode 3 cable supplied with the E-TENSE 100% electric versions still has its place under the load area to free up space for luggage. Despite the roof’s streamlined curvature, DS Automobiles’ engineers were able to maintain the load height and DS 7’s width between the wheel arches by moving the tailgate’s hinges forwards, thereby maintaining ease of use on a daily basis. At the front, DS N°7 incorporates the brand’s new light signature ushered in by DS N°8: the DS LIGHT BLADE with its characteristic V-shape and recognizable from afar, are combined with the illuminated DS LUMINASCREEN grille. At the rear, the vertical DS LIGHT BLADE is also recognisable from a distance, day and night, and contributes to aerodynamic performance by cleanly directing the airflow. DS N°7 can be personalised with a deep‑black contrasting roof colour or by an extended bi-tone colour that extends over the bonnet. Six shades are available, including a new one - SILK GREEN - alongside PALLADIUM GTREY, TOPAZ BLUE, ALABASTER WHITE, CRYSTAL PEARL and PERLA NERA BLACK. The diameter of the wheels is now up to 740 mm, further enhancing the visual impact with wheels up to 21 inches. DS N°7 E-TENSE, 100% electric, has a record range for a compact SUV with up to 740 km on the WLTP combined cycle for the FWD LONG RANGE version. This range is based on a 97.2 kWh battery made in France and a comprehensive approach to efficiency. The exceptionally careful aerodynamics, embodied by a 0.26 Cx and an SCx of 0.69, allow you to travel up to 450 km on the motorway at legal speeds (i.e. an average speed of 120 km/h). With DS N°7 E‑TENSE, the driver stops when they choose to, not anymore when the technology dictates it. Equipped with the same battery and all-wheel drive, the E-TENSE AWD LONG RANGE version claims a range of up to 679 km on the WLTP combined cycle. The electric offering is completed by the E-TENSE FWD version equipped with a 73.7 kWh battery providing up to 543 km of range on the WLTP combined cycle. Rapid charging is another pillar of the freedom of use on long journeys: DS N°7 E‑TENSE can charge from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes (31 minutes for the 73.7 kWh battery) with thermal preconditioning of the battery. This is activated automatically if a destination is set in the navigation, or manually via the central display. The charging power remains at 160 kW between 20 and 55% charge level, allowing you to recover 190 km of range in 10 minutes. The PLUG & CHARGE function, which allows a charging cycle to be triggered automatically when the car is plugged into a DC fast charging station, also helps to optimise downtime.
