About

DS Automobiles was spun off from Citroën’s premium DS line in 2014, taking its name from the original 1955 Citroën DS. It operates as a standalone marque within the PSA/Stellantis group, positioned above sister brands Citroën and Peugeot as the group’s premium offering in Europe.

The lineup centers on premium hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs, including the DS 3, DS 4 and DS 9, with the DS N°7 SUV replacing the previous DS 7 as the brand’s key European model. DS cars share platforms and powertrains with other Stellantis brands while emphasizing distinct French design language, premium interior materials and, on flagship models, a revival of Citroën’s historic hydropneumatic suspension. DS does not sell in North America, focusing instead on European markets.
