DS Drive Assist: The new DS 7 also comes with DS Drive Assist, an adaptive cruise control that can manage stopping and restarting without driver intervention. In addition, the DS 7 not only keeps the lane in the middle, but also on the desired driving line.
Safety is optimised with DS DRIVER ATTENTION MONITORING and DS DRIVE ASSIST level 2 semi-autonomous driving. DS DRIVER ATTENTION MONITORING analyses the driver’s level of attention with two cameras. The first checks the behaviour of the car in its surroundings and the second, positioned facing the driver, diagnoses where they are looking and their face and eyelid movement which translates to the level of sleepiness and attention. This is unprecedented in the segment. New DS 7 is equipped with DS DRIVE ASSIST, adaptive cruise control that can initiate stopping and restarting without the driver intervening and an aid that enables the driver to keep the car either where it is or where they position it in the lane.
Characterised by unparalleled comfort and electrified power units with up to 360 horsepower, New DS 7 combines technical expertise with elegance.Standing apart through French luxury expertise, New DS 7 introduces a front that features DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0 technology and materials seeking to offer sophistication and comfort as yet unseen in the segment.Developed by DS PERFORMANCE, New DS 7 E-TENSE 4x4 360 has a 360-horsepower plug-in hybrid powertrain with intelligent four-wheel drive transmission, big wheels, a lower stance and wide diameter brakes.
The passenger compartment of the DS 3 Crossback remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. DS showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas of both the driver and rear passenger. In both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test, protection of all critical body regions was good and the car scored maximum points for this part of the assessment. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is available as part of the optional 'Active Safety Brake' pack but its results are not included in this assessment.
