2018 DS7 Crossback - the new flagship of the French brand will be available In 2018
The DS7 Crossback is the new bet of the luxury brand of the PSA group. Willing to complete its range in a relatively short time, this new model supposes the adhesion of the signature to the segment of the SUV and the off-road vehicles. Conceived as a premium alternative with reasonable price, this model seems like a complicated rival to beat for other cars that are already settled in the market. DS continues true to its principles and tries to express quality and attractiveness with the most imposing vehicle of its range.
Motors varied and powerful
One of the most favorable aspects of this car is its range of engines, which will be quite varied and will have mobility alternatives for all tastes. First of all it has three gasoline engines with powers of 131, 180 and 224 horses, although the less powerful alternative will start to be commercialized later on. In the case of BlueHDI diesel engines there are two possibilities, one of 129 and another of 177 horses that will be on sale from the moment the DS7 reaches the dealers. Finally, with a release planned for 2019, DS will offer a 300 horsepower hybrid engine whose power will be limited as standard (otherwise, it would surpass 400CV). With regard to this engine, the French manufacturer is committed to achieving a useful electrical autonomy outside of urban travel, although specific data on this engine have not yet been revealed. The rest of the mechanical issues highlight the possibility of choosing between front or integral traction, while the automatic change system is included as standard in the models with the most powerful engines

Contemporary and sophisticated design
In its exterior design, the DS7 Crossback has several elements that perfectly identify the segment in which you want to compete. Unlike other models of the firm, this car is committed to robust and carefully chiselled forms that give it a muscular and robust presence. The front has a large hexagonal grille reminiscent of other cars with similar characteristics. The headlights are elongated and are completely placed on the front, while receiving visual support thanks to a chrome trim. The entire nose of the car is high, and the hood has interesting shapes halfway between robustness and sportsmanship. On the side, the lines are elongated and fluid, so that they create wide and well-managed shapes. As with other models of the brand, the exterior panels of the doors have very sharp shapes that give personality to this DS7. Finally, the rear part flees rectilinear finishes and opts for more rounded and lighter shapes, according to what we can find in similar vehicles. Beyond the huge gate, highlights the design of the pilots and the large exhaust outlets integrated into the lower trim. The DS7 also has several customization options. Although it has not materialized too much in this regard, in this car you can find several designs of tires, some very daring, and other exterior and interior elements that will make each unit is virtually unique.
The best of a premium
The interior of the DS7 Crossback bets for luxurious materials and very attractive finishes. They emphasize the forms that draw the seams of the seats or the lining of the doors and the dashboard in leather. The position of the driver bets for simplicity and minimalism, reducing controls to a minimum. Many of these elements have become virtual and come together in a huge touch screen that protrudes from the center console. Possibly, this screen is the largest in its segment, and without a doubt it is the most striking part of the interior. The DS7 Crossback can comfortably transport five adults without the height of the rear seats becoming a problem. In terms of equipment, and to reinforce the premium philosophy that characterizes this car, DS has incorporated an exemplary technological endowment. This car has an enormous number of assistants to the conduction and other systems that facilitate the workings of the pilot, although the most sophisticated are reserved for the highest finishings of the range or are optional. In any case, it is not daring to say that the DS7 has equipment that matches its rivals.
Hard rivals to beat
When measured in the market, the DS7 Crossback seeks to face the 'older', and therefore aspires to compete with SUV models of brands as prestigious as Audi or Land Rover. In its favor it has a lower price in the most affordable versions, but it must also overcome that these manufacturers have more tradition to manufacture cars of segment C. In any case, we will have to wait for its launch to see how the DS7 Crossback responds in the market. Even so, it continues to be the strongest bet of the brand in recent years.
