DS 7 Crossback Prices and Specifications

Performance Line cars aren’t just the sportiest-looking models in the Crossback range, they also get plenty of headline-grabbing tech as standard. You get a larger 12-inch touchscreen than on Elegance models, with built-in satellite navigation alongside a second 12.3-inch digital driver’s display instead of conventional analogue dials. Also standard is suede-like Alcantara trim on the dashboard and doors, electric lumbar support to help prevent backache and aluminium pedal trims. You get the same cruise control, rear parking sensors and automatic emergency braking as Elegance versions, but Performance Line trim adds larger 19-inch alloy wheels and upgraded adaptive suspension.

For a start, you sit on leatherette and Alcantara seats, and are kept 'just so' by climate control. Large central touchscreen contains sat-nav, plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There are also automatic wipers and lights, including automatic full beam.

Prestige cars feel more luxurious than Performance Line and Elegance models, thanks to their upgraded leather seats with massage functions, crystal-like controls and an eye-catching analogue clock on the dashboard. You get the same 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and 12-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and smartphone mirroring as on Performance Line cars, alongside upgraded safety systems including lane-keeping assist and blind spot detection. Also standard are 19-inch alloy wheels, an adjustable boot floor and adaptive suspension that scans the road ahead to spot and prepare for any nasty potholes as you drive along.

Range-topping Ultra Prestige models are quite expensive, but come packed with upmarket features. In addition to huge 20-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass sunroof and special sound-deadening windows, you get an upgraded Focul stereo system, plush Nappa leather seats and a leather-trimmed dashboard. Other features carried over from the standard Prestige model include a 12-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and smartphone mirroring, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and special adaptive suspension to iron out bumps around town. You also get plenty of high-tech safety kit, including automatic emergency braking and lane-keeping assist.

Special edition feature gloss black DS wings, a unique design of 20-inch alloy wheels, a 12-inch central touchscreen with 'A Day at the Louvre' app, plus Louvre-specific trim tweaks both inside and out.
