DS vehicles will be electric or hybrid from 2025

French automaker DS Automobiles has confirmed that from 2025, all its models will only be offered with electric or hybrid powertrains.

The first vehicle to become electrified is the hybrid DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4, which will be available in the Autumn. It will offer four-wheel drive, 300hp and a 30-mile driving range in zero emission mode (WLTP drive cycle).

CEO, Yves Bonnefont, revealed 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.

"Our strategy is underway with the arrival of DS 7 CROSSBACK E-TENSE 4x4, fitted with a hybrid (petrol-electric) drivetrain and boasting 300hp, and is to be followed soon with the presentation of the first 100% electric DS model."

A fully electric DS will be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show.
