DS9 Review
With a premium French twist, the DS9 is competing with a German dominated market, maintaining comfort and practicality with all the style of the traditional design.
If you crave a modern, elegant executive saloon but you also want something a little bit different to the tried-and-trusted offerings from BMW and Audi, the DS 9 could fit the bill.
A rival to the likes of the Audi A6 or BMW 5 Series, the 9 is the flagship of the DS range, sitting ahead of the DS 7 Crossback.

The DS 9 launched with two trim levels available, ‘Performance Line +’ and ‘Rivoli +’.
You can expect flush-fitting door handles, heated, massaging and ventilated seats both front and rear, an Alcantara roof lining, swathes of Nappa leather in the ‘lounge’ like interior, and distinctive pearl stitching as a ‘nod to high fashion’.
When it comes to powertrains, you can opt for the powerful PureTech 225 petrol engine with 225 hp and which will return upwards of 40 miles to the gallon.
Or you can choose the E-TENSE 225 plug-in hybrid, which boasts fuel economy of 188 mpg while emitting just 34 g/km of CO2.
The DS 9 can provide lease customers with 34 miles of zero emission driving in Electric mode. And that’s important if you want the DS 9 as a company car, as it will attract a Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rate of just 11% for the year 2021-22.

We have just taken delivery of a new VW Touraeg, which we secured through Select Car Leasing (SCL). We would like to thank Shane Newton for overseeing the entire process and keeping us informed at every stage, particularly when (through no fault of his), the car was delayed. This is second occasion we have sourced a vehicle using SCL and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. During the course of our last order, we were contacted by a number of different people, depending upon availability and the nature of the call. Without exception they were all friendly and knowledgeable and gave the sense that they had the customers best interests at heart.
On contacting Select I spoke to a very friendly member of the team who gave me clear and concise information and who continued to communicate with me at all the salient points. The same person helped with all the respective forms. During the process I received regular updates and information, even after car delivery. I will certainly look to use them again when I choose my next car in a few years time.
Great sourcing by Leo and consistent information about delivery dates and procedures.
