Naza Euro Motors Sdn Bhd, the sole distributor for DS in Malaysia officially launched the All-New DS 7 Crossback SUV, by Laurence Noël, Head of ASEAN & CEO of Naza Automotive Manufacturing, Groupe PSA and Dato Nik Hamdam Nik Hassan, Deputy Group CEO, Automotive Group, Naza Corporation Holdings.
The much-awaited All-New DS 7 Crossback SUV, designed to express refinement, excellence and French know-how, harmonises the perfect alchemy of power and refinement bringing together premium materials, craftsmanship and technological innovations expected from a premium SUV.
On the exterior, the DS 7 Crossback SUV sports a muscular yet elegant look resulting in a more distinguished and sporty poise. The horizontal chrome DS WINGS on the front face convey a sense of prestige with their strong, well balanced lines. The new diamond-effect gloss black grille sports a hexagonal surround of dynamic lines, with the DS emblem taking up a prominent stance in the centre. Unique only to the Performance Line, the grille is topped with DS Performance Line badge. The sharp edges of the front and rear wings sculpt the sides to enhance the muscular beauty of this SUV.
The DS ACTIVE LED VISION system adapts in width and range to the road conditions and vehicle speed and is set in five lighting modes –Town Beam, Country Beam, Motorway Beam, Adverse Weather and High Beam – for greater safety on the road. Resembling faceted jewels, the LED modules of the DS ACTIVE LED VISION headlamps emit a purple light when DS 7 Crossback is unlocked, before pivoting progressively by 180 degrees to create a hypnotic visual effect.
On the rear, DS 3D Full LED rear lights finished with three-dimensional scale effect and textured black finish on the textured black rear trim. Together with the equally stunning 3D rear lights, the eminently recognisable light signature from both front and rear views lend a level of stature, poise and visual pleasure to the vehicle.
The interior of DS 7 Crossback SUV is a chic, contemporary vehicle that reflects the expertise at DS Automobiles. The Spirit of Avant-Garde is also expressed in the interior, with two high-definition screens positioned at the heart of the cabin. The first is an 8-inch central touchscreen that manages the multimedia interface, the entire DS CONNECT offer, wireless charging and compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Mirrorlink. The second is a 12.3-inch personalisable screen dedicated to the digital instrument cluster.
The Performance Line trim promises dynamic quality throughout, combining ‘Basalt Black’ grained Alcantara interior with Carmine/Gold topstitching and the use of precious materials such as Aluminium for the pedals, instantly enveloping occupants in a hushed sporty atmosphere. The steering wheel is leather upholstered and in a sign of the brand’s unwavering attention to detail, the grab handles and the central part of the wheel (airbag cover) are also available in a rare leather finish.
The toggle switches on the chrome-finished central console feature a ‘Clous de Paris’ guilloche trim finish, while an exclusive animated watch in partnership with B.R.M Chronographs, the B.R.M R180, sits majestically on the dashboard adding a touch of elegance infused with a sense of tradition.
The distinctive DS LOUNGE presents the top-of-the-range FOCAL Electra® HiFi audio system, a meticulously devised acoustic architecture composed of 14 speaker drivers carefully positioned around the passenger compartment. This spatialisation ensures a uniquely immersive listening experience surrounded by rich and detailed sound.
The overall character and performance of the DS 7 Crossback SUV is underscored by its powerful highly-efficient, high-torque internal combustion engines which produces 165hp at 6,000rpm and maximum torque of 240Nm from 1,400rpm with its 1.6-litre THP four-cylinder petrol engine. Exceptional power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission (EAT6), recording 220km/h top speed. The All-New DS 7 Crossback SUV also features a new Electric Impulse Auto Gear Control with Paddle Shift for a thrilling drive. The DS 7 Crossback SUV rides on 19-inch Onyx Black alloy wheels wrapped in 235/50 tyres giving the DS 7 Crossback SUV a comfortable yet confident ride on the road.
A five-star EuroNCAP rating only bodes well for this sleek SUV, the DS 7 Crossback SUV boasts a myriad of safety equipment such as Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Emergency Brake Assist (EBS), Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Anti-skid Regulation (ASR), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Driver Attention Warning, six airbags, ISOFIX anchor points and passenger detection system, and DS ACTIVE LED VISION – all of which working effortlessly to ensure the safety of the driver and passengers at all times.
