The DS 9 is an executive car introduced in 2020 by DS. The company's first vehicle to be marketed to both Europe and Asia but assembled solely in China, the DS 9 serves as the flagship DS luxury-premium line, slotted above the DS 3, DS 4 and the DS 7 Crossback in size.

Presentation

Originally, the DS 9 (internal code X83) was to be unveiled in April 2019 at Auto Shanghai,[4] but its presentation was postponed for the first time in November for Auto Guangzhou in China,[5] then a second time until March 2020.

Following the end of the Changan PSA Automobiles (CAPSA)[6] joint venture of PSA and Changan Automobile, Baoneng Group which took over the Shenzhen plant where Chinese DS are built, signed an agreement to produce DS, including the next DS 9 in Shenzhen. On 20 February 2020, DS announced the imminent presentation of a new model.[7]

The DS 9 was unveiled to the press on 27 February 2020, and was due to make its first public appearance at the 90th edition of the Geneva Motor Show on 3 March 2020. The Swiss show, however, was cancelled at the last moment due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] Unlike the DS 7 Crossback, which is produced both in France and in China, the DS 9 is assembled only in China by Baoneng's Shenzhen factory.[9]

Technical characteristics

The DS 9 is based on the EMP2 modular technical platform of Groupe PSA. Its dashboard is largely inspired by that of the DS 7 Crossback.[10]

Engines

The DS sedan is available with the 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol and eTense Hybrid (PHEV) version, with the 1.6 turbo petrol engine and an electric motor. The combined system output here in the DS 9 sedan will be 225 PS (165 kW; 222 hp). The 225 PS variant will be joined later by 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp) FWD and 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp) AWD eTense variants.[11]
