When you think of executive saloons, the German brands are always the ones to which you turn first. The BMW 5 Series, Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class have made this segment their own with their luxury, style and technology.
And rightly so; each one is brilliant in its own way. But that makes you wonder why anyone bothers to compete with such dominant, desirable models.
French premium brand DS seems to have had much the same idea, and rather than playing the Germans at their own game, it has decided to offer something a little bit different. The DS 9 is a luxurious saloon, but it comes with all the comfort, style and panache you expect from a left-field French limousine.
Soon to be available solely in E-Tense plug-in hybrid forms, it’s very different to the established German models, but is that a good thing?
