THE PLUG-IN HYBRID ACCORDING TO DS
The combination of gasoline and electric power on our E-TENSE plug-in hybrid engines offers power and flexibility. Electric means low or zero emissions and offers quiet and dynamic start-up phases.
Our range of plug-in hybrid vehicles
Drive in complete freedom with vehicles from the DS Automobiles plug-in hybrid range, the E-TENSE plug-in hybrid engine is available on the DS 4 compact sedan, the DS 7 SUV and the DS 9 sedan.
THE ADVANTAGES OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE
Silence and driving comfort
At the wheel of our plug-in hybrid vehicles, enjoy a quiet and smooth driving experience. When switching to electric mode, a cyan LED lights up behind the windshield to indicate its activation.
Dedicated E-TENSE services
Benefit from DS Automobiles services directly from your smartphone or your vehicle to make your daily life easier: locating terminals and planning your recharge or installing a charging station at home.
Broadcasts
With the plug-in hybrid engine, our E-TENSE vehicles combine low emissions and low consumption: from 30 g/km of CO₂ and 1.4 l/100km (depending on the model). You can therefore drive in town even in the event of traffic restrictions.
POWER and FLEXIBILITY
Driving modes
Our plug-in hybrid vehicles have four driving modes:
HYBRID mode, activated by default, allows you to drive at certain times on electric power and at other times on thermal power. Useful both in town and on the highway, it offers you optimal use of electrical energy.
Zero Emission mode is ideal for traveling in urban areas. You can therefore travel more than 65km (in the WLTP¹ cycle depending on the model) without consuming a single drop of gasoline. Absolute silence on board, exceptional responsiveness: experience new sensations.
Activate SPORT mode to unlock the potential of your DS E-TENSE. The combustion engine delivers all its power to you, assisted by the two electric motors. Accelerations, accelerations: your driving pleasure is at its peak.
The 4X4 or 4WD mode (on the E-TENSE 4x4 version) improves traction on the road or difficult terrain. The power of the combustion engine and electric motors is transmitted to all four wheels of the vehicle evenly, greatly improving grip whether on wet, muddy, snowy or winding roads.

Regenerative braking
Thanks to our commitment to Formula E as well as our double champion title, we have developed several innovations including regenerative braking. Like an engine brake, it allows, during deceleration phases, to transform kinetic energy into electricity, thus recharging the battery of your electric car.
This function can be activated with a simple flick of your gear lever.

E-SAVE function
The E-SAVE function saves up to 30km of electrical energy in your batteries for later use. This mode is particularly useful for anticipating a restricted traffic zone, reserved only for “clean” vehicles.
The mapping available on the large touch screen shows you in real time the perimeter that can be covered in electric mode as well as the charging stations.
TAX AID and ADVANTAGES
A tax system of its own
The plug-in hybrid allows savings even at the time of registration. When purchasing a new hybrid vehicle, a bonus is in fact granted. A PHEV vehicle may also be exempt from registration fees.

RECHARGE
It's always a good time to recharge
There are different ways to recharge your electric car battery. Depending on the charging method you choose, the charging time will be longer or shorter.
You can opt for a recharge at your usual parking places. At night at home, or during the day at work for example. On longer trips, stop at a fast charging station for a quick break. You will thus recover 80% of autonomy in 30 minutes.

Our solutions adapted to your needs
DS Automobiles supports you in choosing and installing the charging solution best suited to your needs: from a simple domestic electrical outlet to the installation of a wall box with our partner Free2move eSolutions.
MyDS app
Information on autonomy
The MyDS application allows you to consult the autonomy of your plug-in hybrid in real time. During recharge phases, you can also monitor its speed and duration.
Remote charging
With remote charge control, use the MyDS app to initiate a charge or switch to scheduled charging. This function allows you to recharge during more advantageous time slots.
Remote heating and cooling
Setting the thermal pre-conditioning of the passenger compartment allows you to program the heating or air conditioning of your car. Designed for your comfort, this function also helps preserve the autonomy of your battery if the vehicle is charging.
