DS Automobiles Cars
DS Automobiles is a French car manufacturer that offers an impressive range of 4-wheel-drive vehicles, or 4x4 cars. These cars are designed to offer unparalleled levels of performance and handling on all types of terrains. They provide stability and comfort while driving in rough terrain, gravel, mud, snow and icy conditions that can be encountered when driving on New Zealand roads.
The DS Automobiles 4x4 line-up features the DS7 Crossback E-TENSE 4x4 plug-in hybrid vehicle. This eco-friendly SUV combines a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine with two electric motors that provide four-wheel drive capability while remaining quiet on the road. The petrol engine combined with two electric motors will deliver up to 221kW power output, reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions compared to conventional gasoline engines.
Another noteworthy vehicle is the DS3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE equipped with a 50 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and offers about 300km of range before it needs recharging. It features excellent acceleration and strong regenerative braking ability ideal for hilly terrains and challenging descents often encountered in parts of New Zealand.
The brand also has the compact DS3 CROSSBACK sports utility vehicle which offers elegant styling, robust performance along with optimal traction from its grippy tires perfect for manoeuvring through windy roads commonly found across New Zealand's coastal highways.
All the models mentioned above offer intelligent all-wheel-drive systems as standard so you won't need to worry about tackling slippery surfaces or traversing loose gravel and challenging hill ascents as they'll tackle those conditions without effort.
With over two-thirds of the country made up of rugged countryside varying from mountains to vast stretches of sand dunes to ocean cliffs covered by rugged forests, having a robust four-wheel drive is always important in New Zealand - DS Automobiles takes pride in producing dependable all-terrain vehicles suitable for both urban areas and exploring the countryside regardless of seasonality or weather patterns typical throughout the islands.
In short, if you're after sophisticated all-terrain functionality with unmissable styling mixed into every turn or sleek eco-friendly design fused into effortless driving convenience look no further than one from our selection offered by DS Automobiles.
