Mi levate una curiosità? Magari se ne è già dibattuto, ma gli anni hanno lasciato un segno sui miei neuroni! 😆 Ricordo che doveva esser solo Bev e che poi ha subito il trapianto del 1,2 mild Hybrid ... ma visto che le sorelle di piattaforma offrono il Phev, per quale motivo questa e la Gamma non lo montano? E' una difficoltà tecnica insormontabile per il design del frontale e i flussi d'aria?

Tutte le Medium inizialmente sono state presentate senza PHEV… strategia poco comprensibile, ma tant’è che stan facendo così…

Recensioni comunque abbastanza positive a quanto ho letto, le.uniche critiche sono relative al prezzo alto e al 1.2, che un po' soffre la mole.

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE 2026, One-Off Presidenziale

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE: THE EXCELLENCE OF FRENCH SAVOIR-FAIRE SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

• For the 14 July 2026 parade, DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE joins the President of the French Republic’s fleet.

• A symbol of French savoir-faire, DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE continues a history of excellence that has united DS Automobiles and the Presidency of the French Republic for more than sixty years.

• A proper mobile office developed to meet the requirements of the presidential position, DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE combines comfort through a lengthened chassis, hydro-pneumatic suspension and special features with a high level of security guaranteed by built-in armour.

• In line with PRESIDENTIAL DS N°8, a vehicle for parades used during the 8 May 2025 commemorations, DS N°7 ELYSÉE becomes the Presidency of the French Republic’s first official 100% electric model.

• As it turns its wheels for the first time, DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE heralds the upcoming arrival of DS N°7, a new compact SUV that is an ambassador for comfort, driving serenity and efficiency, providing up to 740 km of 100% electric range with its battery that’s produced in France.

Since the beginning of the Fifth Republic, DS and SM models have supported milestones in the history of France. From General de Gaulle’s DS 19 and the large presidential saloons made by Chapron, to the most recent models, this historic collaboration embodies the excellence of French savoir-faire at the State’s highest level.

Today, DS Automobiles is writing a new chapter in this special relationship with DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE. With a 100% electric powertrain, special armour and a thoroughly redesigned interior, this exclusive design is a work and mobility implement supporting the Head of State.

 

A unique transformation carried out for the Presidency of the Republic

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE features full armour meeting the Presidency of the Republic’s specifications. Its wheelbase extended by 25 centimetres, compared to a standard DS N°7, provides exceptionally generous rear space. This transformation is combined with a full adaptation of the running gear which incorporates exclusive hydro-pneumatic suspension that guarantees the best balance between comfort, handling and robustness. The shock absorbers that it uses have been developed and fine-tuned in France.

Among the distinctive features, there are also the fittings needed on a presidential car:

• Removable flag holders;

• Special light signalling;

• In-car security equipment;

A unique work and presentation space

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE has been designed as a mobile office perfectly adapted to the requirements of the presidential office.

The rear layout has been completely redesigned to match use by the Head of State.

The rear side window tinting can also be adjusted through a range of intensity adaptable to the car’s different usages.

 

An exterior in the French Republic’s colours

DS Automobiles has designed every detail to express the car’s French identity and ceremonial purpose with subtlety and elegance.

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE has an exclusive Liberty Blue body colour. Its illuminated DS LUMINASCREEN grille lights up with the Blue-White-Red of the French Republic, colours that are repeated on the bonnet badge, the rear tailgate trim as well as in the wheel centre caps.

A refined interior that’s an ambassador for French expertise

The interior combines high-quality materials and upholstery craftsmanship.

Two harmonies complement each other: a predominantly light grey at headlining level covered in Alcantara® contrasting with the Eternal Blue Nappa leather and Alcantara® trim of the watchstrap upholstery seats and door panels.

The dashboard includes ash wood trim whose laser engraving features a design with the effigy of Marianne. The trim of the air vents and X-shaped steering wheel are embellished with embossed insert patterns, a DS Automobiles signature.

Exclusive signatures, such as “RF” embroidery and tricolour accents enhanced with Light Gold pearl stitching, emphasise the car’s unique character.

 

A showcase of French industrial savoir-faire

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE is also the expression of a French industrial sector rallying around a special project.

Its development and transformation called on skills spread throughout the national territory: the car’s armour and construction in Brittany at Centigon, battery manufactured in Hauts-de-France at ACC, electric motors made in the Grand-Est, suspension developed in Occitanie and even audio systems developed and built in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Through DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE, DS Automobiles highlights French technological, artisanal and industrial excellence at the highest level.

 

A French electric powertrain demonstrating excellence

Based on DS N°7 AWD Long Range, DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE gets a 100% electric 350 horsepower E-TENSE drivetrain powered by a 97.2 kWh battery. Power is transmitted to the 4-wheel drive via two electric motors.

This architecture combines performance, quiet operation and comfortable travel, while meeting the performance and security requirements of the presidential office.

 

DS N°7’s official debut

DS N°7 ÉLYSÉE is turning its wheels for the first time as DS Automobiles is preparing the sales launch of its DS N°7 compact SUV.

DS N°7 is a statutory design but also a subtle balance between aerodynamic efficiency and interior space optimisation. Replacing DS 7, DS Automobiles’ first creation, N°7 offers a high level of comfort and benchmark spaciousness in an elegant and efficient design. It’s the new ambassador for DS Automobiles’ comfort, driving serenity and refinement.

Available in 100% electric E-TENSE versions providing up to 740 km of range on the WLTP combined cycle and in a HYBRID powertrain with emissions from 120 g/km of CO₂ - two benchmark values in the class - DS N°7 meets all the needs of customers looking for a premium model.

DS N°7 brings together the Brand’s most advanced technologies for a serene, intuitive and relaxing drive: DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0, DS NIGHT VISION, DS PIXELVISION, the extended head-up display and the latest generation of connectivity enhancing the in-car experience.

Available to order for a few weeks, DS N°7 will go on sale this September.
