I’ve got mine a month ago and so far i’ve only positives to say about the car. My second car is a 2018 audi a5 and i can say that there’s not much difference in build quality between the two. Maybe if you nit pick, the A5 is a little more well put together. The irregular gaps on the DS’s bonnet that some people complained about have been fixed by DS and all the newer cars are perfect. Also the infotainment system has received a firmware update and it’s not laggy. Well it’s not as fast as Audi’s mmi but it doesn’t disappoint.
Great review and whoever is sitting on the fence about the ds, don’t. If you like the car, it’s a solid purchase.
Not to mention that it gets attention like no other, because people don’t have a clue what it is.
Cool enjoy!
Thank you Thomas for this precious advice about the DS7 and congratulations for your will and efforts in this bad weather !
Thanks 🙏
Great review Thomas. Nice scenery at times too. What a superb premium car from DS. Looks fantastic and beautiful interior. Definitely a big step up for DS.
thanks andrew!

One of the best looking SUVs out there. Overall it looks even better than the new Lamborghini Urus in my opinion. Great review as always.
thanks, great to have you here!
Very nice review that gives the "normal day driving" impressions. That is something i usually miss with other reviewers/car shows...
cool, join us for more =)
I love the interior and the fact it's not built for sporty driving but yet still capable when needed. So I'd rather have a softer suspension that offers a quiet and pleasant ride as offered by the DS7. In my view this car has it's own stand-alone French avantgardish design without being quirky. It doesn't try to be a German race tank like Jaguar and so many others unfortunately do. The car is very nicely designed and built, but doesn't offend anyone by screaming money. Clearly the DS7 is on the top of my list - in all versions, but certainly and foremost in the hybrid version.
Hi Daniel, very well worded review, sums it up perfectly. I picked up my DS 7 Crossback Prestige on Thursday and it is the nicest car you can imagine. Looks, drive, interior. Sold on my Audi A4. This DS brand has gone under the radar but soon it will become an established and respected brand of vehicle.
This Car really looks Beautiful! Nice Review!
thanks for joining us!
Watch this review several times, always appreciate your great detail review Thomas, Cheers.
👌
Very nice review. And i think, in a relatively short (and limited by conditions) presentation, you managed to make the viewers curious about the hybrid.
You are the best auto review man I have ever seen,honest and objective.Well done and keep going !
+王 龙 cheers!!
Fantastic review. I really appreciated the comparison between different trim levels. I will definitely check out this car. Keep up the good work!
Thanks pls share :)
Great review Thomas and what a nice car. As I am driving the DS5 Hybrid I was really keen on a detailed review of that new DS7 Crossback. So thank you for this and please keep up your great work. Just a hint for changing the volume of the GPS instructions that you were desperately looking for during your report. It is probably more intuitive than you thought. You just need to wait on a driving instruction and while the GPS is talking use the normal volume button on the steering wheel for adjustment. Cheers
It is cool to hear, that you enjoyed our production. Please stick to us =)
I love the styling, it’s looks really similar to some Audi models but with a bit more flare
It's a way more refined car than Audi, but it's in the similar segment as Audi Q5, so it has similar purpose. French made very original cars in the past, but people don't like too much experiments, so they toned it down and now it looks perfect.
A great honest review Thomas, it’s nice to hear praise without too much comparisons to other cars
thanks Michael !
Been watching your channel for quite some time now. From the time you still did your reviews 'auf Deutsch'. I really hope you keep doing this for many many years to come. You're objective, critical, not too much focussed on the BHP's and care about not using animal skin. Love your channel!
thanks so much, always great to read from long term subscribers!
Great job Thomas and team. Much appreciate your efforts in those conditions! And all your hard work. Nice DS7 - a big step up for Citroen, hope it does better for them than their characterful C6. Smooth ride appreciated. Many thanks.
Thank you!
wirKO - yes, thanks, and don't forget the other brand - Vauxhall. And the Dongfeng Motor Group, who own a stake in the company. I think. Cheers.
gordon bennett: Yes you right Opel AND Vauxhall. Don't forget It.

great review as always, thnx!
love the citroen design language. and these lights just wow, amazing look
thanks for joining us!
Very good review. Extremely in depth and informative......
thanks, keep supporting us!!
DS5 when it came out was such a beautiful sculpture...this look even more futuristic. Awesome review as always Mr. Thomas
thanks man !
Great looking car! I especially love the rotating LED headlights in the purple font! But I think that bright work on the exterior is the most appropriate style for it (especially if you choose the top-of-the-line version), not the "Night Style" or "Shadow Line", as its rivals call the black exterior details! Also, its interior is a show stopper!! I watched a French video which compared the DS7 to the Q5 and the DS7 had red leather with watch strap pattern stitching!! You might say it's not Thomas-proof, but it looked great!!
really your efforts are highly appreciated
شكرا لك ومقدرين جهودكم العظيمة
thanks!!
Hello Thomas, great review again. I love the reviews of Autogefühl! The care looks awesome, I will take it as my new lease car.😎
thanks! And enjoy :)
What a beautiful-impressive design, great review as always!!
thanks for joining us!
A Brave Thomas had to withstand ferocious elements and an arctic blizzard to get us - on a sofa - acquainted to the Deliriously Sublime DS7. Well done crew!!
=)
Yes, this will raise DS to the luxury car market and definitely will be in my car garage. Cuz it'll stand out from the crowd and makes you different from every expect from the ride, the technology, the styling, the true "luxury". Can't wait this will be available in my country.
Isaak Wing They really need to update the digital dials, they look terrible.
It's pleasant, nice styling, but it's more expensive than a Mercedes E Class,which is definitely a better car, and lower depreciation.
That’s a cool looking car
Never before that I fully watched a 50mn review. Great work and great car. I love my ds5 hybrid4. Smart car, superiour quality and a stand out of the crowd car. Hope the DS brand will work out for PSA. Courage should be reworded and I can understand their strategy. DS being a French couture brand. Luxury and design.
+Wainando Provenzano gr8 to hear that you enjoyed the full review :)
First detailed review of this car. Excellent as always!
in your service!
Elegance and Exclusive! Nice job!
Very handsome vehicle and great review as ever, Thomas. There is a Q5 look about it.
cheers, keep joining us! :)
Never miss a review, Thomas!
+Nodge X awesome!
Especially with the tailgate open
I think it looks even better than the Q5.
Awesome car, exterior, interior. I really have hopes for DS!
Nice review, thank you
Nice review. The car does have a premium feel. I’m really amazed with the LED light design in the front and back.
cheers!
Pleasantly surprised by the interior quality. I like the rear of the vehicle, but not so much attracted by the front -- except the grey, base model also shown in the review. Thanks for honest, unbiased review, Thomas!
cheers!
Awesome work as usual for you and your team too, the best , most complete and honest review ! So you don't want to tell your own opinion about the fact that it can or not compete with German brands ;) I've seen it live and for me the interior design is a bit overkill, also don't like that much the design of digital instruments... But it certainly feels luxury. Outside, it's better in live, might still be on my wishlist if I don't go for a sportier car.
I've already waited for it.
cheers, keep joining us! :)
Very good and professional review, can't wait for the new hybrid model
cheers!
Always detailed review from Thomas!!!!...this DS is wonderful!!!!...german cars could shake!!!! :)
merci !
PERFECT, English Subtitles!! More peoples will watch.
Great car and great review 👍👌
Thomas, you are back!
never been gone :)
Great job Thomas you are exceed expectations. There're many design elements and we can say toys exterior and interior especially interior. I thing want to be different.
thanks mehmet!!
It's an excellent Master pieces i've ever seen so far.
Nice review! Very nice car!!! Love ir! Thanks
Cheers! Also tune in to this newer episode: ruclips.net/video/1DR4XRZvyZc/видео.html
Next to Versailles Bois Darcy I know that road fantastic review as usual
What a truly striking vehicle
Can't wait to see your thoughts on the ds9
This is probably the first French car that I would consider buying. Looks really great and pricing is good too.
Thank you for such a thorough review. Now I want one but that might have to wait a couple of years for the hybrid. DS has a hard job to break into the premium market because everyone just follows the crowd so it's certainly a car to make a statement in.
Cheers stay with us!
20:24 this place here is usually a public swimming pool, may be you can see it on the doors in the background.
Your last question Thomas: I think DS can have a promising future in the luxury segment, but more outside of Europe (especially Germany). It's for people who want something different, like people who buying Volvo or earlier Saab.
Yes, pretty amazing how they managed to cover that
Black paint + chrome grill would look very elegant. Suits it as a premium SUV.
I saw a lot of DS7 in Paris, near the Roland Garros, and i was quiet convinced
Beautiful AudInfinity... DS7 !!! I like it so much. Very bad weather, but AMAZING JOB !!!
Hello again! I'm from the UK and I contacted you in 2016 when I switched from a Mazda CX-5 to a Renault Kadjar. I gave you my opinion on each car and preferred the Mazda. Well I have just traded in the Renault and have a DS7 Crossback Performance line. It's early days for me but I really like the car. The UK specification is a bit more basic than the one you tested. I have the 1.5 diesel manual and there are no electrics on the front or rear seats and no automatic tailgate. The build quality and the appearance of this car are stunningly good. If you wish I'll give you a more detailed report when I've had more time with this car, as I only got it on Friday 15 March 2019, but as I said, so far so good!
thanks for the feedback Peter!
I've also noticed that Audi- like style at the front and the back, but in my opinion, they set some unique details, so that it is different anyway. What I didn't knew was the tail turning lights solution. Nice to know. Overall I think it's the most luxury car in this segment and it's still not too expensive. The only problem left for me is, I don't know which version, styling and color I would like the most. They all look amazing.
Awesome! Thumbs up from Malaysia.. 👍
greetings!
Audi-esque front and Mercedes-like rear... Very successful exterior on first impressions
Sumeet Bal More like Porsche rear.
Beautiful car ... I liked the crystal design theme
Another great review. Made me interested...
thanks keep joining us!
Nice design, especially interrior! Looks better than Audi Q5, but needs bigger rims
It needs 4x4 rather ;)
Jordan For those that like to go on long road trips and off normal trails or where snow is prevalent it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. Have a great day.
N B, they could have done it, but either all cars would have had less footspace in the back or awd model would have been super expensive (if they made a different body for it). Anyway, awd hybrid version will be available soon.
How would you compare it to the Citroen cactus c4? The older model (2016) 1.2 puretech ?
good review like always
+Kristiaan Mahieu 👌👌
It is hard to come up with new design that hasn't been used before and which looks good.
Yes, we can identify familiar design patterns from various other car makers, a few being mentioned such as the Audi front, Lexus/Infiniti side view and Porsche rear.
I find the interior surprisingly 'calm' from a design perspective. The centre console looks like being made by Vertu and the software in the centre screen by an older Zune :)
The scrolling buttons with the crystal pattern remind me of the drive mode selectors in the new Volvo models.
Interesting looking vehicle, curious to experience how it drives.
Great review as always! Thank you.
thanks as always!
I'm so excited🤗🤗🤗 make my weekend, thx a lot #Autogefühl !
enjoy =)
Da StormtroopeR aaaaa
I'm getting the impression that it is even more difficult to make unique design cues in SUV's than other segments, to me, especially side profiles tend to be interchangeable. 10/10 headlights and rear-lights, beautifully made by DS
Stunning 😍
Good review guys
+James Chastney 👌
as a BMW lover... this car is amazing
THX for that very good video!
thanks, feel free to recommend us!
The car itself actually looks alright. But the rims just bring down the overall appereance of the car itself, So if anyone where to buy a brand new DS7 i would highly reccomend them to buy some large clean high-end rims to make the car look even more exclusive and premium. (My Opinion)
Golf V gti lims look a like instead of going for something thats looks like Lexus.
Exactly. Fake directional rims look so cheap. And it's the only choice for this car, sadly.
Joachim Jacobsen large rims on a SUV are nonsense. These cars are suposedly able to run on forest roads..... You don't want to do that on 21" wheels with sport tyres.
Totally agree with you, mate. A good looking car can turn into something really ugly with bad rims. For example I hate off road vehicles that have really high profile rims that makes them look like bloody stage coaches.
i think they installed winter tyres, its mandatory in europe hence the small rims
Looks good! But what I want to know is what's that diamond shaped thing on top of the steering column?
Thank you , I want one !
Nice review
+Vitamin Vitamin thx!

WAAWOOO THE CAR LOOK VERY NICE..
Great review and love seeing Europe's countryside...
thanks stick with us!

Hai thomas im frome kurdistan and i really love ur car reviw.well down sir and goodluck✌✌✌
Thx and best greetings!
Very exaustive review Thomas. I will go for sure for performance line set up! Only one question: the white color of your demo car is the solid white or the pearl one? Thank you in advance!
Thx! Pearl afaik
Good review Thomas ;-) Like the Front, not so keen on the side, like the rear too
thanks Michael !
YES, thomas its a fantastic and unique car, has more character to me than most german cars, just acquirted E tense version.
Enjoy 😊
Wow! and here wow ! and there wow!
Q7 + Q5 + Infiniti + x = DS7
Math by Citroën, but it's very interesting car. Great review, thank you 🙂
Hello Thomas! Great review and great camera work! I do have some questions though, do you plan on testing the luxury-orientated version of this vehicle? I know that today more people are focused towards more sporty cars, but there are people like myself that want to go all-comfort on a daily driver vehicle. My question is, does the performance line affect the way the suspension behaves?(making it more stiff from a ride standpoint) and which vehicle in it's class( and i'm talking BMW X3 Mercedes GLC Audi Q5 and Volvo XC60 ) is the most comfortable? Also do you have any info on the future models ? I'd be interested if they would launch a sedan. Thanks in advance!
+exwife called thx! No u just have 2 suspension types. Base and adaptive . The lines just change style and materials
thank you for your reply!
Thomas, did you have an impression like you were driving a concept car? Great review! Thanks!
thanks! Hm, a little bit maybe. Those were very very early models
Like all DS cars it looks great. I sure hope it’s more comfortable than the rest of them though. I was very disappointed when I drove them.
Design wise Thomas is right...the front looks a bit like the Q5, sides like an Infinity and back like a mix of Porsche headlights and Audi design elements.
Welcome Back French design!
R Mac French design which looks like a mix of German and Japanese cars.
kraenk12 you want real French design? Go for Peugeot 3008 or Citroen C5 Aircross. I agree that DS7 Crossback looks like a mishmash of designs
@@haihohh7394 maybe it was inspired by other designs (like every car, also peugeot 3008), but it looks really harmonic and elegant.
@@kraenk12 not really, actually when you see it on the street, it looks original and different
wau, this is just wau. I am shocked how beautiful it is. I have to test it. Btw, I have leather and panoramic roof now for seven years...I can easily drop both with next car.
I really like this new DS7, design, quality, everything is very good done. I hope it will sell good but it has very strong, also excellent, competition like Alfa Romeo Stelvio, Volvo XC60, Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3, Audi q5, Mercedes GLC. This segment is rising very quickly and there’s no doubt we will see lot of them on our European roads...
24:00 It is so interesting to hear such different accents - German english and French english😅
A few things: my BMW 320D (built 2008) also had some gap "imperfections" around the hood and front lights. Seems this is a common issue on more recent BMW's. Secondly, I have a the slight impression that the infotainment screen is maybe somewhat low: the steering wheel kind of obstructs the left side. And third: the analogue retro clock, well: no go for me
interesting!
The reason why this blind spot monitoring system is better in my opinion is because it does exactly what it's supposed to do. It tells you when something is in your blind spot, and that's it.
If you think about it, that's how it should be, because having the light turn on BEFORE something is in your blind spot is basically giving you false information, it's telling you something is in your blind spot when in fact it isn't.
Look at this example:
A car is coming from behind you on your left side, and if he's not in your blind spot yet, then you can ACTUALLY see him with your own eyes in the mirror, right? So if you see a car in your mirror, then you don't also need a little yellow light to tell you that there is a car behind you, because you can already see him in the side mirrors.
Then once he enters your blind spot and you can't see him in the mirror anymore, the light activates to tell you that something is in your blind spot and to stop you from turning left. If the light turns on before that, and you can see the car behind you that is NOT in your blind spot, then you don't know for sure whether there's a second car or motorcycle in your blind spot already.
Even if the light tells you he's behind, that still doesn't mean that you don't have to look at the car in the mirror and judge how far he is and how fast he is approaching you. So the yellow light being on or off when the car coming up is still behind you is totally irrelevant and serves no purpose at all because it's basically warning you about something that you can easily see already and you don't need to be warned about. If you'll see a little light in the mirror, then you'll see a big car in the mirror too. :P
Basically with this Citroen / Peugeot system you ALWAYS know that if the light is turned on, that there is something in your blind spot, and if it's turned off, then there is nothing in your blind spot and the only thing behind you or to the side of you is what you can actually see in your side view mirror, just like forever before the blind spot indicators were invented. For me, having driven cars with both types of systems, I learned to trust the Peugeot system and once you get used to it you trust it 100%, with other cars I'm always 50-50, always in doubt whether the blind spot monitor was triggered by a car that is still behind me and that I can actually see in my side view mirror, or was it triggered by a car that might be in my blind spot that I can't see, so I don't trust the system and find myself turning my head around to actually check my blind spot. A couple of times before I started doing that, while driving in the cities, it happened to me that I saw a light warning me, then I'd look in the mirror and see the car is still a couple of meters behind me and I'd say "oh I have enough room to switch lanes" only to realize at the last moment that there was a car in my blind spot and I might hit him if I turn left. That can never happen with the Peugoet / Citroen system.
+derbigpr500 - interesting discussion, "in this community to discuss cars!" And it's interesting to discuss driving too. My initial thought is that a BLIS system is useful. Having driven with both systems, I think that a big bright light that attracts your peripheral vision is most useful! (and before somebody comments, even for Advanced Drivers, by the way, though I am NOT an Advanced Driver). And I used to think the long-range system was best, especially if you were keeping alert, or on a fast motorway. But I agree with you, the short-range Citroen/Peugeot system works, especially at lower speeds. (do you like your Passat, by the way?). Cheers.
I prefer the pre-warning systems because sometimes, especially in Germany, cars approach that fast from behind, that the PSA system would not warn you quick enough
+Autogefuhl - I agree. On balance, I too think I prefer the pre-warning/long range system - if you are half alert, or even if you are paying attention to the road, it just quite simply helps you. And the pre-warning works better in fast traffic. Speaking to Advanced Drivers, once they have tried it, or experienced a BLIS system, the consensus is that it simply acts as an additional safety system for even the best drivers.
autogefuehl - like someone else said, the warning light should be big, so you see it! Not until you've tried a car with blindspot warning, do you realise can be useful.
great car !!! so beautiful !!!
Hi,
a few months ago i asked you about the 5008 suspension and comfort.
is the ds7 with active scan supension softer and more comfotable over big bumps and softer over putholes than the 5008? because i testdrive the ds7 without this suspension and it was way harder suspension than the 5008 .
thanks for youre advice
we ll have another thorough test of the DS7 soon. Indeed the setups can differ
What a stylish car !!!!!!!!!!
Love this car!!!!!
Just to add a little bit to the technical details: although the car is built on the platform of the 3008 and 5008, it does have a totally different rear suspension (multilink independent instead of fixed torsion beam). It is also has a wider and longer wheelbase. This is more in line with other premium manufacturers.
yes I mentioned those aspects, thanks for the backup
Great! Fantastic video as always!
The front end reminds me of a Mitsubishi Eclipse and the back end reminds me of a Lincoln MXC(US). Other then that the interior and lights are very nice. Good review Thomas
Lincoln MKC*
Great review like always Thomas! My father has a 2015 DS5 with the same diesel engine. The interior is great but I cant stand the ride, like I am driving a Dacia.
thanks !
good looking SUV i think they have a winner
