The new DS 7 can now be ordered in Spain, and we know its price

At the end of last June, DS introduced new features to its DS 7 model, an SUV that aims to be a serious alternative to its premium rivals and which, with this new update, is undoubtedly a clear option. It also now adapts to new forms of mobility, receiving a new plug-in hybrid powertrain with more power.

Remember that the new DS 7 receives most of its exterior changes at the front, with new DS Pixel LED Vision 3.0 headlights, to which a striking daytime running light design is added. At the rear the situation is similar, though not a dramatic change, as the rear light cluster subtly changes its design, becoming more refined. Its bodywork can be painted in six different colours, to which are added new 19- and 20-inch alloy wheels, except on the E-TENSE 4×4 360 version, whose size increases to 21 inches.

The interior of the DS 7 has not changed; the same design remains, but DS has taken the opportunity to introduce new materials that raise the overall quality. In this regard, the DS 7 will be offered in five trim levels, to which the La Première limited edition

is added, which in Spain includes the following equipment:

The updated DS 7 is offered with a BlueHDi 130 hp turbo diesel engine as the entry version and, from there on, we find three plug-in hybrid powertrains that the brand calls E-Tense. The first is the E-Tense 225, which delivers 225 hp thanks to a single electric motor and is paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox; the other two versions, the E-Tense 4×4 300 and E-Tense 4×4 360, use two electric motors to provide all-wheel drive at all times.

The new DS 7 is now available on the Spanish market with a starting price of €42,800, while the La Première limited edition, whose only powertrain is the E-Tense 4×4 360, starts at €75,250§h165§. First deliveries to customers are scheduled to begin at the end of 2022.
