New DS IRIS SYSTEM multimedia

With a redesigned instrument panel, DS 9 MY23 features the new DS IRIS multimedia system. This features a fully revised interface that can be completely configured and personalised, and is responsive, slick and aided by IRIS natural voice recognition. The high-resolution 12-inch touchscreen displays a menu made up of widgets to access all functions including 3D connected navigation, air conditioning, digital audio sources and all trip data. This user-friendly screen also allows drivers to see a 360 degree view, provided by new high-resolution digital cameras, or to access the Mirror Screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functions via Wi-Fi or through two USB C ports.

 

Connected Navigation helps the driver by choosing the best route. It monitors traffic conditions and calculates the best routes in real time. The screen displays danger zones, including speed checks, weather forecasts, place and prices of petrol stations or the location of public car parks and charging stations. All updates are carried out automatically over the air.

 

DS IRIS SYSTEM is connected to the MyDS mobile app which allows drivers to send destinations from their smartphone to the screen in the DS 9, to precondition the cockpit ventilation or battery charging, to consult the state of battery charge or data from previous trips or to receive proactive maintenance alerts.

 

New OPERA specification

The new OPERA specifiation sits alongside RIVOLI + to complete the DS 9 range offering.

 

This range-topping trim level introduces a high level of standard equipment, including technology such as DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION camera-controlled damping, the Extended Safety Pack with DS DRIVE ASSIST level 2 semi-autonomous driving, DS DRIVER ATTENTION MONITORING and DS NIGHT VISION. Comfort-focused features are also included as standard such as the FOCAL Electra® sound system, the DS Lounge Pack for rear passengers, including the Premium Leather rear centre armrest, Lounge head restraints for the outer seats, courtesy button to move the front passenger seat forwards from the rear seats, extended dual-zone automatic air conditioning and heated, massaging and cooled outer rear seats, as well as the sunroof, power bootlid, heated windscreen and alarm.

 

This new OPERA trim level is offered with watchstrap design Nappa Leather upholstery in two distinct colours: OPERA RED and OPERA BASALT BLACK

 

The elegance of the OPERA is embodied by Nappa leather on the seats, enhanced with an embossed DS logo on the front of the head restraints, the centre console and the extended dashboard, regardless of the colour chosen. The RED and BASALT BLACK interiors also get exclusive Art Leather trim for a mesmerising look. The cabin of the new DS 9 MY23 is bathed in a hushed light thanks to the Pebble Grey Alcantara® headlining.

 

ESPRIT DE VOYAGE Collection: remarkable expertise

The ESPRIT DE VOYAGE Collection is now also available on DS 9 MY23 where it showcases its unique refinement, characterised by an exclusive pale leather interior.

 

Light and bright colours finish off the interior, with seats uholstered in Pearl Grey Nappa watchstrap leather with the centre console, dashboard and door panel trim also in Pearl Grey Nappa Leather. Pebble Grey Alcantara® features on the headlining and door armrests, as well as the braid on the front and rear carpet mats, which also showcase a special Zéphir stitching.

 

On the panel under the central screen the Pearl Grey Nappa leather is heat-embossed with a map of Europe from which rays stretch from the location of the DS DESIGN STUDIO PARIS, using a technique developed by the DS Automobiles craftspeople to give relief to this unique shape. This design was created for the ESPRIT DE VOYAGE Collection and is featured in multiple ways. These lines are repeated on the sills and badges for the front doors, as well as by laser engraving on the mirror housings.

The high-quality materials enhance other cockpit features including the Basalt Black grain leather steering wheel, a Basalt Black Nappa Leather dashboard top and a Black Alcantara® rear shelf.

 

Externally, the DS 9 ESPRIT DE VOYAGE E-TENSE 4×4 360 model retains the 20-inch MUNICH wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres.
