French Art of Travel

Whether alone or accompanied, routine or extra special, every trip becomes a unique journey with DS Automobiles.

We were created in Paris, the capital of luxury and design, where elegance is elevated to a Lifestyle.

Our vehicles combine perfect craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology, sustainability and peerless quality. 

Inside your DS, refinement enhances your enjoyment, awakens your senses and remains etched in your mind.

 

That’s how we elevate journeys to the level of the French Art of Travel.

THE WORLD OF HAUTE COUTURE
Superb finishes
Our production cars come from the innovation and inventiveness of our craftsmen and are packed with expertise and unique savoir-faire, high-quality materials and elegant finishes. At DS, each model reflects personal expression with incomparable design, pioneering pleasure and incredible comfort.
Pearl stitching

Inspired by high fashion and perfected by our craftspeople, Pearl stitching adds to the elegance and delicacy of detail while posing a real technical challenge. The thread disappears as soon as it appears in the leather giving a rhythm to the stitching that needed more than four years of work and the development of a special machine. It's a unique process in the automotive world that has quickly become a key DS Automobiles signature.

"Clous de Paris" guilloche
Graceful waves and lines plus an amazing technique. Created through fine watchmaking and inspired by the Louvre Pyramid, “Clous de Paris” guilloche is as if small nails with pyramid-shaped heads have criss-crossed in a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow. A tribute to the City of Light, this engraved metal pattern decorates our surfaces with demanding and intricate craftsmanship.
Watchstrap leather upholstery
From tireless working with leather, contours, patterns and incredible expertise comes the iconic folding technique that adorns our seats with the watchstrap design upholstery. A single sheet of leather, trimmed, stuffed and folded by our master saddlers results in a one-off item that’s an avant-garde benchmark. Initially made for our concept cars, it now features in interiors throuhgout or current model range.
