So let's have a look at the style. It's fair to say the DS7 certainly looks the part, with this updated design including brand new taillights combined with the brand name's 3D name badge on the back. The model we have here includes black cladding around the wheel arches, roofing bars and some chrome surrounds on the windows. However the star of the program is up leading, with an all-new grille at the front of the vehicle that has some chrome inserts contributed to it.

There are great deals of diamond patterns throughout the cabin, but the quality of a few of these elements could be a bit better. The upgraded design likewise features a full digital dial screen, however the graphics aren't the very best. All-in-all the interior is ok, however it's losing out to its competitors in this department.
When it pertains to engines, there are a couple of to select from, with the entry-level being a 1.5-litre diesel that drives the front wheels and provides 130hp. There are two plug-in hybrids available, with the range-topper coming equipped with a 1.6-litre turbo gas engine combined with dual-electric motors to produce four-wheel-drive, in addition to the capability to put down 360hp.
If you're looking to pick up an entry-level DS7 the price begins with around ₤ 37,000. However, top-of-the-range models come in at over ₤ 60,000! So is it truly worth it ?! Or could that ₤ 60,000 be invested in a lot more established gamer in the market? You'll have to stick to Mat and find out on your own!
