Luxury French car company DS Automobiles has announced that from 2025 onwards, all its new models will be electrified, either hybrid, electric or with both.

The marque which separated from Citroen three years ago, made the announcement as it prepared for the imminent arrival of its first plug-in hybrid, the DS7 Crossback E-Tense 4×4.

This petrol-electric PHEV boasts a combined power output of 300hp and a 30-mile EV driving range. It will be unveiled for the first time at September’s 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, 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 4×4, 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. See you at the Paris Motor Show!”
