DS 7 1.6 E-TENSE 4X4 Performance Line + 5dr EAT8 [Pan] Review

Section: Version review
The model
Read full DS 7 reviewThe DS 7 is a well-equipped, comfortable and reasonably practical family SUV. It can’t quite stand up to similarly priced premium SUVs including the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 though, falling behind when it comes to deprecation, how it drives and the quality of its interior materials.
The trim
See full equipmentOur preferred Performance Line + trim adds front parking sensors and a reversing camera, electric seats in the front (which are also heated), plus a heated windscreen for the winter.
The engine
See full engine specsThis plug-in hybrid combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with two electric motors to give 297bhp and four-wheel drive. It’s certainly punchy, but it proves unrefined and is expensive.
