Switch to zero-emission(i) zero emission at tailpipe (in the use phase) mode and enjoy a unique driving experience aboard our DS electric cars and hybrid vehicles. Technology is available on each of the new DS Automobiles models: 100% electric & hybrid on DS 3 and DS 4 or plug-in hybrid on DS 4, DS 7 and DS 9.
Since its creation, DS Automobiles has placed electrification at the heart of its strategy, with a 100% electrified range on sale from 2019 in order to anticipate the profound changes in the automotive industry.
From competition comes automotive innovation
Building on our commitment and our two-time Formula E championship title, we have incorporated motorsport technologies such as brake energy recovery into our electric and plug-in hybrid models. Born from performance, our electric models open up new horizons for you, with style.

The advantages of a plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle
Performance & pleasure
Live a unique experience aboard our electric cars and hybrids:
- Zero pollution (i) zero emission of CO2 at tailpipe in 100% electric (in the use phase) , noise and vibration-free electric driving.
- Reduced emissions and the power of a combustion engine and a hybrid engine
Ride in the city in all circumstances
Drive an electric or plug-in hybrid car without traffic restrictions:
- Free parking in some cities for electric vehicles
- Freedom to drive in low emission zones (LEZ) and during pollution peaks
Thanks to the Geofencing function, your Plug-in hybrid will be capable to automatically activate the eletric driving mode in low emission zones, to make you free to drive in every part of the city in total peace of mind.
TAXATION & SUBSIDIES
Road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) costs are currently £0 for electric vehicles and there are substantial tax incentives for business car drivers and businesses to make the switch to pure electric or hybrid vehicles.
SIMPLE & EFFICIENT
Electricity is one of most efficient forms of energy, particularly with regenerative braking which enables better energy management for your electric or plug-in car. This also means that some components, such as brake discs, wear more slowly saving you money on servicing and maintenance costs for your new hybrid or electric car.
¹ The fuel consumption or electric range achieved, and CO2 produced, in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the accessories fitted (pre and post registration); the starting charge of the battery (PHEV only); variations in weather; driving styles and vehicle load. The plug-in hybrid range requires mains electricity for charging. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is used to measure fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 figures. Figures shown are for comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 values of other cars tested to the same technical standard. The figures displayed for the plug-in hybrid range were obtained using a combination of battery power and fuel. Information correct at time of going to print. More details on WLTP can be found here.
