In the increasingly homogeneous automotive market, I still want to find a model that highlights a unique tone, and I believe that only the DS brand can match. As a French high-end brand, each of its models always exudes a unique French romance, of which DS9 is a "French goddess" posture into the market.
Today, with the opportunity to experience the 2021 45THP Opera Edition model (top match) priced at 339,900 in the official guide, let's feel the product power displayed by this "legal goddess".
At a glance, you can remember that the recognition of DS9 is very high. The three-dimensional diamond-effect grille is unforgettable, and the chrome trim on the engine compartment cover is high-end and exquisite.
The visual beauty of the diamond-like star diamond-type "Paris Lights" LED headlight group is not inferior even compared to the traditional giant BBA. When starting the vehicle to flip neatly, it gives a unique sense of ceremony, and the style is self-evident.
The 4933mm length with rounded and smooth lines maintains the unique aesthetic of the French car. At the same time, the application of elements such as hidden door handles and 3D diamond LED taillights also reflects the DS designers' pursuit of details.
Just the appearance? The interior is where you move.
Interior layout aside, almost all the leather wrapping is just in sight, and from the details, it also gives a lot of luxurious elements, such as the "bracelet" pattern of the seat. Of course, this is not limited to the seat, the leather wrapping in the armrest position also adopts a similar pattern.
In addition, the carved mechanical watch that starts the slow flipping of the vehicle is rare in the same class, and from the perspective of visual sense and sense of ceremony, it is not too much to say that it is comparable to the level of the million-level flagship luxury car.
The experience is for the top model version, in terms of configuration, there will be double-layer soundproof glass, infrared night vision system, variable damping shock absorber, rear seat ventilation and heating, massage function, FOCAL sound, etc., these "seemingly" luxurious configurations will definitely make you have a great riding experience.
If you have to find discomfort in the interior, perhaps these are not all leather leather, it will be a loss of points, after all, the tactile experience it brings is more general.
The DS9 is 4933/1855/1468mm long, 1855mm high and has a wheelbase of 2895mm. Compared with Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3 Series, Cadillac CT5 and other competitors, the size of the vehicle is not too outstanding, but it is still the mainstream level.
Of course, a large car with a length of more than 4 meters 9 and a wheelbase of nearly 2 meters 9 does not need to be measured too much in the rear space, which is definitely spacious enough anyway.
The nearly 350,000-priced sedan is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, which is also the most popular point for consumers.
In fact, its 1.6T turbocharged engine has a maximum output of 158kW and a peak torque of 300 N·m, which is not too "shabby" from the engine book data. For comparison, the BMW 3 Series 2.0T version, which also costs up to 330,000, has a maximum output of only 135 kW.
Overall, this 1.6T turbocharged motor engine outputs more power than enough for the family. In addition, it is equipped with an 8AT hand automatic transmission, which is smooth and calm, and is also very in line with the setting of "elegant" people.
It is worth mentioning that this set of "magic carpet adaptive suspension" exclusive to the top model also leaves a deep impression. Although the adaptive suspension of the camera linkage is not the only skill of DS, based on the adjustment technology precipitation of DS in the field of suspension, the performance in terms of shock absorption and comfort is indeed an advantage that the first-line competitors have to be convinced.
The DS9 45THP Opera Edition model has shown a selling point and attraction that competitors of the same level do not have, and even in some hardware configurations can be compared with the flagship models of luxury brands, which is indeed very pleasing to consumers.
However, "hard injuries" such as no large displacement engine support, no luxury brand precipitation, and relatively high selling prices are also doomed to weaken its market competitiveness. After all, there are still many "luxury car" options in the thirty tens of thousands of car purchase budgets. Of course, if you don't want to go with the flow and experience a different style and quality, DS9 is still a good choice.
