The special edition DS PERFORMANCE Line highlights the DS Automobiles expertise through assertive exterior and interior design, enhanced by exclusive finished and carefully selected materials such as Alcantara®. Every detail subtly reflects the elegance and dynamic spirit of DS Automobiles.
“DS PERFORMANCE Line: inspired by the distinctive livery of our DS E-TENSE FE25 Formula E single-seater, this special edition reflects our desire to bring to the road the refinement and passion that have driven us on the circuits for the past 10 years. Performance at the heart of Excellence.”Xavier PEUGEOT, DS Automobiles CEO
DS Automobiles, a pioneer in the integration of ChatGPT since 2024, is taking a new step forward with the development of speech recognition incorporated into DS IRIS SYSTEM, which is now enhanced with the ‘Latest News’ feature; the latter allows artificial intelligence to answer questions instantly with considered answers about current topics – whether it’s culture, sport or international events.
This new feature will be available from December across all DS 3 and N°4 ranges already equipped with natural voice recognition with integrated ChatGPT.
Two dynamic models
The DS range benefits from technologies derived from racing, especially in the optimisation of E-TENSE powertrains and plug-in hybrid systems inspired by Formula E focused on energy efficiency.
At the same time, the special edition DS PERFORMANCE Line gives DS 3 and N°4 a distinctive and exclusive design, inspired by the DS E-TENSE FE25 livery.
This exclusive edition stands out with satin gold and gloss black features that are applied to distinct parts — badge, lettering, mirror covers, wheel centre caps, wheels etc. — depending on each model, emphasising its elegant and assertive character.
The interior, clad in Alcantara® combined with other exclusive details, embodies the combination of refinement, comfort and technology, a DS Automobiles signature.
