It’s been months since the DS7 Crossback made its appearance here in Malaysia, but now, the DS Store PJ has revealed the pricing for the SUV on its Facebook page, with the Performance Line costing RM199,888 (on-the-road without insurance). The Performance Line variant carries the same specifications as the KLIMS debutant, which is the model you see in this set of photos.
Included in the price is a five-year or 120,000 km manufacturer’s warranty, as well as three years free service – the latter is only available for the first 100 customers. There are three colours to choose from, those being Platinum Grey, Nero Black and Absolute Red.
To the uninitiated, the DS7 Crossback poses as an alternative to the likes of the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC and Audi Q5. Design-wise, it’s definitely one of the more distinctive looking SUVs out there. Primary cues include the DS Wings grille that are accompanied by four-element LED headlamps, a wide trim piece that separates the upper and lower inlets, small rectangular fog lamps with unique vertical LED daytime running lights, the latter specifically made to look like “beaded stitches.”
In profile, strong lines over the front and rear wheel arches give the SUV a more athletic look. It sits on 19-inch ‘Beijing’ Black Onyx diamond-cut alloy wheels (unique to the Performance Line trim), and behind you’ll spot the slim LED tail lights featuring intricate diamond-themed graphics. They are joined by a chrome trim on the tailgate. Further down, you’ll find slim fog lamps followed by a pair of angular exhaust exits.
Inside, the diamond theme continues. One will find a 12.3-inch digital display instrument cluster, centre-mounted eight-inch high-definition touchscreen infotainment display (supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) with a row of controls below it, distinctive patterns on the Black Basalt Alcantara seats, as well as a fancy four-spoke flat-bottomed leather steering wheel with paddle shifters.
Other features include a wireless charging tray for compatible smart devices (tucked away behind a panel), dual-zone climate control, and a 14-speaker Focal Electra sound speaker system. There’s also powered front seats, rear air-con vents with digital controls, a powered tailgate, easy-folding second row seats, and a BRM R180 clock that is hidden out of sight when the car is turned off.
Powering the 1,485-kg SUV is the automaker’s ubiquitous 1.6 litre THP four-cylinder petrol engine, making 165 hp at 5,500 rpm and 240 Nm from 1,650 rpm. Power is sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission, and the approximate zero to 100 km/h sprint time is achieved in 10.2 seconds. The top speed is rated at 220 km/h, whereas average fuel consumption is 7.5 litres per 100 km.
On the safety side of things, the DS7 Crossback gets six airbags, ABS with EBD, Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Anti-Skid Regulation (ASR), Dynamic Stability Control, Driver Attention Warning, and two Isofix mounting points for the two outer rear seats.

That dashboard material… that’s what the Urus should have… not it’s current design.
DS7 quite nice to be honest but at pricing would be a rare sight on the road and really exclusive… haha

Hmm, at that prices a DS7 or a Jimny?
Better top up 45k guy GLA
French car from the family of Peugeot-Citreon

For me , its underspecced for the price. Like a BMW X3. The Hyundai SF beat it on value vs spec.
Ever notice there is no citroen anything on the road?
It is no coincidence…
You get a very good 1st year of ownership, after that everything just go down hill… upto the point you will willingly trade in just for a Myvi.
mazda cx9 is a better buy, more reliable n powerful
CX9 price is RM281k to RM297k. Up to almost RM100,000 difference. Please use brain when compare.
just take a time is a premium brand from french ….
i trust them is the management targeting right way ….
the year 2019 – 2022 is DS AUTOMOBILE YEAR CAR OF THE VALUE
Why bring in lame duck model? THP165 with 6speed auto is so yesterday. Same old drivetrain as older models of PSA cars in new clothes. Elsewhere already new 8speed auto driven by 180 or 225hp engines. Already DS is niche model in our country. Make them special here la!
Besides the fantastic styling and looks, this car will not move the heart of a buyer due to it’s rather outdated spec and “poor” performance. Is it a wise choice to spend RM200K+ just for the look?
