The DS 9 sedan has already received the third variant of the plug-in hybrid

Until now, the flagship DS 9 has also offered a pair of plug-in hybrid drives called E-Tense 225 and E-Tense 360, marked by performance. In the DS, however, they said that they would add another version to the offer, which will make the purely electric ride more efficient.

The new engine is marked E-Tense 250 and can be purchased by customers in combination with the Performance Line and Rivoli series. This is a kind of intermediate stage between the basic plug-in and the highest equipment. The novelty, like the basic version 225, is available with front-wheel drive. Version 300 has an ATV.

The basis of the new engine is, as in other versions, a four-cylinder 16-cylinder with a turbocharger, this time with an output of 200 horsepower and a torque of 300 Nm. In cooperation with an electric motor of 81 kW, the DS promises a combined output of 250 horsepower.

What should convince the car to buy in this engine is the increased battery capacity, which will now offer 15.6 kWh compared to 11.9 kWh in other versions. According to the WLTP methodology, this is ample enough to cover more than 60 kilometers in combination or up to 70 kilometers in the city.

Thanks to the low table value in CO2 production, like other plug-in hybrids in the offer, the car will also reach the license plate with the electric prefix EL, from which drivers can benefit greatly.

Performance Line starts with this engine at a price of 1,575,000 crowns, while Rivoli equipment is 100,000 crowns more expensive.
