Can't sell or increase the price? The French "Artwork" flagship sedan is updated, sticking to 1.6T, and hybrid
Some models themselves are very good, but the sales do not go up, this phenomenon is more common in the French field, in addition to some of the excellent models under peugeot Citroen is not easy to sell, even if it is a more high-end DS brand series model in the Chinese market has not been on fire, although the introduction of domestic has been 10 years, but the DS brand is more and more mixed, after the withdrawal of Changan, now it has become a pawn of Baoneng Group. At present, the model that maintains the update is the DS9, and the price threshold has increased compared with the old model recently updated on the market.
This time the low-end Montmartre version of the fuel model price reached 254,900, and the original was less than 250,000, can not sell but also increase the price, this may be just a helpless move, because this year the automotive industry generally ushered in a cost increase, from raw materials to the production line of energy costs and labor costs, almost all have a large increase, so DS9 this car can not lose money to sell, the price threshold slightly increased is no way.
Size positioning almost unchanged, the new DS9 is still a larger medium-sized car, the total length of more than 4.9 meters, wheelbase 2895mm, from the perspective of contour size is indeed larger than most B-class standard models, but the rear space experience is not as large as imagined, which is related to the overall design idea, French designers in the weighing of beauty and space, often do not hesitate to choose beauty, so the whole car brings is the level of art-level modeling.
If you ignore the existence of the brand influence of the car logo, you can even call the DS9 car the most beautiful B-class car, the front face and tail lights are very personal, the headlights are a crystal diamond matrix configuration with a rotating function, and the tail lights are fish scale-like super high recognition. The side of the car is quite ethereal, and there are separate turn breathing lights on both sides of the rear windshield.
Sitting in the car is like sitting in an art museum, every detail has artistic considerations, the basic screen configuration is not outdated, the buttons and leather seats in the central control area are almost all geometric splicing elements, and there is a very delicate rotating small clock in the middle of the countertop, which is the romance in the bones of the French luxury brand.
The old DS9 has a slot point is a 1.6T engine, after this update or continue to 1.6T, for a luxury B-class car is indeed not a large displacement, if you do not know more about it is likely to think that this car is a small horse-drawn car. In fact, the 1.6T engine used by the French DS brand is very strong, with bmw's technical support, the maximum output of 215 horsepower can be comparable to some 2.0T power, and the gearbox is Aisin 8at.
If you dislike the lack of power, the new DS9 also has a plug-in hybrid version, the same 1.6T engine, but the additional motor assistance system, the total power of a single motor is 81.2 kilowatts, which can increase the zero hundred acceleration performance to 8.1 seconds, which is of course not a particularly strong acceleration level, but compared with the Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi model in the same price range, the core configuration is already very sincere.
