📖DS 7 2022+: the upgraded luxury flagship cementing its reputation through performance plug-in hybrid technology

DS DS 7 (facelift 2022) (2022-Présent)

The 2022 facelift dropped the Crossback tag and elevated the DS 7 with angular Light Veil daytime running lights, a wider grille and a revised chassis lineup developed by DS Performance. Anchoring this luxury SUV's dynamic composure requires disciplined DS 7 maintenance, particularly with the introduction of high-output plug-in hybrid systems and bespoke 21-inch wheel assemblies.

The mechanical focus shifts decisively to plug-in hybrids, spanning E-Tense 225, 300 and the range-topping E-Tense 4x4 360 with lowered suspension, wider tracks and four-piston front brake calipers. Powered by an upgraded 14.2 kWh traction battery, these PHEVs require careful monitoring of hybrid cooling circuits, while long-distance drivers still benefit from the smooth 1.5 BlueHDi 130 paired with the EAT8 gearbox.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Formidable performance and poised road holding on the DS Performance-tuned E-Tense 4x4 360 variant.
  • Enhanced all-electric range and rapid heating/cooling performance from the upgraded 14.2 kWh battery and heat pump.
  • Bespoke cabin comfort with premium Nappa leather, pearl stitching and tranquil acoustic side glazing.
  • Modernised DS Iris infotainment system with snappy menu navigation and wireless smartphone integration.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • E-Tense 4x4 360 running gear: inspect 21-inch tyres for inside shoulder wear, check wheel rim edges for pothole damage, and verify 380 mm front brake discs.
  • High-voltage charging system: test AC charging latching and ensure onboard charger operates without temperature-related rate drops.
  • 1.5 BlueHDi 130: check for revised 8 mm camshaft timing chain and ensure absence of AdBlue crystallisation around the dosing injector.
  • 12V auxiliary battery: ensure battery maintains full operating voltage to prevent electronic glitching in the digital cockpit.
  • DS Active Scan Suspension: verify proper windscreen camera vision and check adaptive dampers for oil misting or creaking.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • On E-Tense 360 4x4, check tyre wear every 15,000 km and replace all four tyres together to protect the rear electric drive unit.
  • Inspect high-voltage battery coolant circuits and AC onboard charging connectors every 24 months or 30,000 km.
  • On 1.5 BlueHDi models, inspect the cambelt kit and camshaft chain at 100,000 km or 5 years.
  • Renew brake fluid and inspect high-performance brake pads and discs every 24 months to maintain progressive stopping power.
