Product Overview

DS 7 Crossback is a compact crossover in production from 2017. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 2.0 liters.

Based roughly on the Citroen C5, the DS 7 has upscale exterior and, for the first time, independent suspensions at all four corners.

Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the DS 7 Crossback is hardly the "offroader" that DS would like you to think. The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the DS 7 Crossback uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

There is unusually generous space for those on the rear bench and 555 litres of load capacity with all the seats up. A 12.3in touchscreen is standard on all but the lowest trim level and there are oversized toggle switches flanking the gearlever. The entirely digital, matte-finished instrument binnacle looks fabulous but isn’t easily legible, the seats are sumptuously appointed but under-bolstered.

Pros

Expensive compared to rivals

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

The DS 7 Crossback has always erred on the softer side. The additional weight of its two electric motors and battery pack (nearly 400kg) doesn’t do it any favours. In corners, there’s a lot of body roll and front-end grip is a limited commodity.

Pros

Impressive refinement
Good range-topping engine

Cons

Not quite up to full-production specification
Pricier than rivals

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

Petrol-powered DS 7 Crossback certainly has its merits. The powertrain is smooth and mostly refined and with a claimed fuel consumption figure of 47.9mpg it’s economy is commendable, too. With CO2 emissions of 135g/km it also qualifies for a lower benefit-in-kind rating than the 178bhp diesel variant. However, in flagship Ultra Prestige trim, residuals forecasts aren’t promising, with our experts expecting it to retain just 42% of its value after 36,000 miles and 36 months of ownership.

Pros

Comfortable to drive

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:

The interior is more successful at looking and feeling a cut above. The design is elegant and attractive and the main touch points on the dashboard, centre console and doors all feel pretty plush. Soft suspension means a fair amount of pitch and wallow, but that translates to a largely supple ride. The fine but unremarkable 45mpg figure so far reflects how hard this unit has to work to shift such a large, tall car.

4,573mm long, 1,625mm high and 1,906mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,738mm. It's longer than the Volvo XC40, Jaguar E-Pace and Range Rover Evoque. The DS 7 Crossback has run the Euro NCAP gauntlet and has emerged with a full five-star rating, notching up a 91 percent score for adult occupants and 87 percent for child occupant protection.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:

The DS 7 Crossback E-Tense is a plug-in hybrid SUV. It combines a 197bhp 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol turbo that drives the front wheels with a 108bhp electric motor on the rear axle for a total of 296bhp. It's surprisingly keen to run on electric power, given its 1,900kg weight, and all-electric range stands at up to 40 miles. While the interior materials are okay, quality doesn't quite seem up to the same level as the price tag.

Pros

Powerful petrol engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent electric range

Cons

Interior isn’t as refined as rivals
Not the most comfortable to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:

The plug-in drivetrain adds 300kg (basically four Formula E drivers) to the kerbweight. The seats not only look highly attractive and are pleasingly low set. There are four driving modes: Zero Emissions, Sport, Hybrid and 4WD. In the back there's just enough space for a six-feet tall adult to sit comfortably.

Pros

Sleek interior
Comfortable to drive

Cons

No automatic transmission

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:

The DS7 Crossback is a quirky, stylish choice for buyers in the premium SUV market. The front-wheel drive chassis summons sufficient grip, but there's a bit of dad-dancing about the electric motor-assisted steering. Night Vision costs from £1100 to £1600, and an infra-red view of the road ahead can be displayed in varying sizes in the digital instrument panel.

Pros

Sleek, stylish design
Comfortable ride
Intuitive infotainment system

Cons

Lane guidance isn’t as easy to understand as rivals

Reviewers from carwow have found the following***:

The DS 7 Crossback's interior is a very nice place to sit. The suede-like Alcantara on the dashboard, doors and seats gives fancy German models a serious run for their money. All but Elegance versions come with a 12.3-inch digital instrument binnacle and a central infotainment screen that has clear and colourful graphics.

Pros
