DS Automobiles has confirmed that its next generation of models will feature hybrid or fully electric powertrains.

The first model to be launched will be the DS 7 Crossback E-Tense – due in Autumn 2019 - with a petrol-hybrid motor developing 300PS. It will offer four-wheel drive and a 30-mile driving range in zero emission mode (WLTP drive cycle).

An all-electric DS model will follow, making its debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

DS CEO, Yves Bonnefont, said: "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.”
