Today we will be trying to put on your radar the young flagship brand of the newly merged PSA and FCA conglomerate. DS gains the top spot on the Stellantis food chain by bringing forward genuinely authentic interiors with lots of hand-crafted elements, unprecedented technological solutions and presumable quite a lot of price dumping, because buyers get so much more than they pay for.
Let’s rush through the 2021 newcomers by DS, but before we get to the episodes, subscribe to Automotive Territory Daily News, ring the bell and let’s start the engines!
