Elegance
RRP from
£28,990
Even entry-level Elegance cars come with loads of plush materials and high-tech kit. Sure, the eight-inch touchscreen isn’t particularly impressive to look at, but you get smartphone mirroring for Apple and Android devices as standard and an eight-speaker stereo with a DAB digital radio built in.
You also get 18-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, cruise control and automatic emergency braking alongside interior mood lighting and a leather-trimmed steering wheel.

The raised driving position gives a good view out, and the windscreen pillars don't produce any annoying blind spots
Of all the engines, the 180hp 2.0-litre diesel is the best bet for long journeys
You can fit two large suitcases, two smaller cases and up to three soft bags in the spacious boot
Compared to what you'll find in alternative models from BMW, Audi and Mercedes, the DS 7's cabin is utterly distinctive
If you want the digital driver's display, you need to pay extra for a Performance Line model or above
Style hasn't overtaken practicality: there's plenty of room in the cabin
It’s a dodde to climb into the back, while even your tallest friends will find there’s enough head and legroom
Drop the rear seats, and you have more space than in an Audi Q5 or BMW X3
All models come with a 60:40 split rear seat, as well as a 'ski flap' that folds down to cary long items
The thin rear screen makes parking tricky, so it's good that rear parking sensors are standard
Rather than trying to be a sports car, the DS 7 focuses on being comfortable
Performance Line models and above are especially relaxing to drive, thanks to their adaptive suspension
