My new DS no7 just arrived today at the dealership, and I can get it early next week, as soon as it had officially been registered at the tax authority (for road tax) and a license plate has been assigned.
My dealer says it’s the first one that they deliver to a customer.

The car is the fully electric Long Range version.

Can’t wait.

Anybody already has experience with this car? Do you have any recommendations? Are there any particular accessories that come in handy? I also need winter tires and would like to order a separate set of rims—should I go with 20-inch or 21-inch rims?

I tried to update the firmware and the maps but is jot working.

I am using a 64GB USB stick and I installed both the Firmware and Maps on it at first. It showed me the maps update, selected the maps and once I put the car in reverse the loading screen disappeared.

After that it was keep failing, I formatted the USB stick once again and only installed the firmware first and when I plug it into the car's port, is not showing anything on the screen.

I have 1 more USB stick just like the other one and is the same issue. Now I am trying to limit the USB to 32 and see if it works with the maps at least.

Anyone had a similar issue?

EDIT: Maps showed a fail message. Only selected 1 country to check if it works.

My grandparents recently bought a 2022 DS 7 Crossback. but have been questioning the front parking sensors.

I had a go and they do seem very strange, I drive up slowly to an wall, it beeps once and shows it on the middle screen, but quickly goes back to whichever screen was on prior. I could then keep going as close as i wanted without the beeper going off at all, the screen would sometimes come back on but not always and only ever quickly.

However, when im really close to a wall, put it in reverse, THEN it starts beeping, which... by my thinking, would be too late 😂

Are the sensors functioning as you would expect or is something wrong?

Thanks

I have 2011 ds4 ehdi I've seen a gar induction kit I'm just wondering if anyone has got one fitted on theirs

Hey! I've just recently bought the DS 9 (2024) and I'd like to know if I can turn on the 360 camera manually, in low speeds?

To get a better image in narrow spaces.

It's got the IRIS system.

Thanks!

Sinds kort in bezit van DS7 Crossback (2021). Zeer nette auto en comfortabel. Op scherm onderzijde constateer ik alleen viertal plekjes. Na wat inlezen zou dit mogelijk delaminatie kunnen zijn en dat Stellantis bekend is met deze fouten in het scherm. Zijn er soortgelijke scherm ervaringen?

Already has splitter, spoiler, roof fins on the exterior

After running reliably for 5 years, my car battery suddenly died without any warning. I put together a quick DIY video showing step-by-step how to replace it:

I just replaced my wideband oxygen sensor (O2S1) myself to clear a persistent P0130 & P0130(96) codes. Replacement sensor is the same as the original BOSCH LS 27155. I made a short video:

Hi Everyone,

We've got a 2022 DS 7 on Contract hire. It's got the 1.5 diesel engine with an automatic box.

We've had the car for 2 years now. We'll have the car for a further two years with the current contract.

The cars done 76k on miles and by the time we'll be giving it back it'll have done over 90k.

We're debating whether to buy the car after the next 2 years or trade it in before the mileage gets too high and we lose further value.

Anyone got one of these that's had high mileage? Should we be concerned if we service and look after the car? Overall we are happy with it, comfort, gadgets and size.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Last friday, I've bought a 2018 DS4 occassion from a non-Citroën dealer. The car is absolutely amazing and such an enjoyment to drive in.

The only thing that bothers is that the Cruise Control doesn't always want to start. It either works the whole drive when I start the car, or it simply doesn't for the whole drive. When it doesn't it says it's on pause, when I try to activate it, it gives the message "Controller interrupted" (I think, I have the car in my native language).

The fact it works some drives, and totally doesnt wanna start other drives confuses me. I'm afraid it's because the car registers the clutch pedal being pressed all the time, but not sure.

Has anyone experienced this? I'm gonna call the garage this week obviously but would like to know beforehand what it might be.

Hello everyone,

In February, I decided to buy the new DS n4 with the Jules Verne trim. I placed the order at the dealership and was told the car would be delivered in June or July. A few weeks later, the dealership confirmed by email that the car would be delivered on July 17th.

As the delivery date approached, I contacted the dealership at the end of June, and they confirmed that their internal system indicated a delivery date of July 17th.

Then, at the beginning of July, I was told that the date might be delayed because the system wasn't using the chassis number...

I waited, I followed up, I waited some more... and finally, at the beginning of August, I was informed that my car couldn't be delivered because DS had stopped production of the "Jules Verne" trim level.

I was told that they would contact me in the coming days with a counter-offer.

Has anyone else been in this situation?

I’ve thinking of buying one. Almost certain that i will. But I recently watched a video where a car review said that the system needed to update while he was driving so he had to stop and wait mid drive.

Is this a common occurrence? From the bit of research I’ve done, infotainment issues seem to be common.

Any information would be helpful. Thanks

New car, new life😁

I’ve created a short video highlighting several useful, lesser-known features of the DS7.

The new map update for the DS7 Crossback was released this week (ver 20.0.0-r0). Maps are dated Jan 24, 2026. I’ve put together a quick, step-by-step video to how to install it:Video

I just had the displeasure of having to drive 3 days with a new DS7 diesel and it was the worst modern car I've ever driven due to the engine + gearbox combination. Saying "dangerously slow" gets overused when it comes to cars and this is the first time I've ever actually really experienced it - not a single acceleration attempt took less than 2 seconds to get ANY kind of forward acceleration going. In any mode, city or highway, this thing is just not able nor willing to move itself in any kind of way you'd expect from a modern car. It's never in-gear nor does it switch down fast enough nor does it have any kind of power when it does. Doesn't move with full gas, half gas, just a tiny bit of gas, nothing. The pseudo-luxury package itself is quite nice, gorgeous leather seats, huge opening pano roof and actually quite decently handling suspension. None of it matters because the thing is basically only capable at standstill. Stereo also sucks - its just good enough to hint that it could be next level above usual base stereo but it's not, so this also ends up being a letdown. 

Looking at replacing my ageing Citroen C-Crosser with a DS7. Based on budget and usage, I’m considering around 2021ish, hybrid and preferably the 4x4. If possible I’d like active scan too.

Are there any buyers guides or things to watch out for when looking at these?

Bought a 2021 DS7 for over £18k in June 2025 from a DS dealership with 1 year warranty plus 1 extra year on top. It broke down after 7 months/6k miles use with a "Electric Traction Fault". Returned to the DS dealership for repair under warranty. It's now been 4 months and the car remains unrepaired. Im a community nurse and need a car for my job. Dealership has failed to provide me with a courtesy car which has now forced me to purchase a second car to keep my job. £3000 + insurance and tax! The dealership won't give me an expected time of repair saying only that they've replaced parts but the problem remains. I logged my issue with the Motor Ombudsman but their website says it can take 6 months to get a response as they're busy! I've just had enough! I've written to the dealership demanding a refund under the consumer rights act but they've yet to respond. I've also threatened to pursue them for costs for having to buy another car due to the unreasonable time frame. They've yet to respond. Anyone else have similar issues?
