From 2025 onwards, all new DS models will be electrified, either hybrid or electric, or with both. This strategy is already underway with the imminent arrival of DS7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4, offering 300 hp and a 30-mile EV driving range. The reveal of the first full battery-electric DS model is at the next Paris Motor Show.

While DS Automobiles has already announced that the second generation of its models would be available in an electrified version (hybrid or electric), CEO, Yves Bonnefont, said that:

Starting in 2025, each new DS will be launched exclusively with electrified powertrains. Our ambition is very clear: for DS to be among the global leaders in electrified cars in its segment.

DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4 will have its first official outing in autumn 2019. It will offer four-wheel drive, 300 hp and a 30-mile driving range in zero emission mode (WLTP drive cycle).
