DS 7 CROSSBACK ÉLYSÉE: symbol of savoir-faire serving the french president

  • DS 7 CROSSBACK ÉLYSÉE enters into the French President’s fleet.
  • A unique design, #ds7crossback ÉLYSÉE takes #ds7crossback E-TENSE 4x4 300 as its base with built-in armour plating, a lengthened chassis and special equipment.
  • DS 7 CROSSBACK ÉLYSÉE joins a long line of #ds models made for the French President.

Since the declaration of the 5th Republic, #ds and SM, then #ds 5 and #ds7crossback have been used by seven presidents. At his inauguration in 2017, Emmanuel Macron went down the Champs Elysées inside #ds7crossback PRÉSIDENTIEL. In this new version, #ds7crossback ÉLYSÉE has a 300 horsepower E-TENSE plug-in hybrid power unit with four-wheel drive and Ink Blue paintwork.

To meet the President’s specification, #ds7crossback ÉLYSÉE has been elongated by 20 centimetres behind the B pillar to become a work implement, like a mobile office. Leg room reaches as much as 545 millimetres.

The rear bench has been replaced by two individual seats. The Basalt Black leatherwork adopts the #ds Automobiles watchstrap signature. An elbow rest separates the two seats beneath an exclusive Alcantara® headlining. The development is completed by wireless chargers and USB ports and an open central document holder.

DS 7 CROSSBACK ÉLYSÉE stands out with blue/red flashing lights at the front, its detachable flagholders, its “RF” badges on the bonnet, front doors and boot as well as its special 20-inch wheels and a shark’s fin antenna for the President’s special telecommunications system. The overall length is now up to 4.79 metres with a wheelbase up by 20 centimetres to 2.94 metres. The width remains identical at 1.91 metres, as does the height at 1.62 metres.

DS 7 CROSSBACK ÉLYSÉE will make its first appearance during the ceremonies commemorating the 11 November 1918 armistice, marking its entry into the French President’s fleet.

REMEMBER

  • DS Automobiles continues to be the French President’s brand with #ds7crossback ÉLYSÉE.
  • With a wheelbase lengthened by 20 centimetres, a plug-in hybrid power unit and special equipment such as built-in armour plating, #ds7crossback ÉLYSÉE is becoming a new work implement for the President.
