As part of its efforts to further distance itself from and position itself above Citroën, DS is looking to launch a radical new electric sedan later this decade. Featuring retro styling inspired by the legendary Citroën DS, this car could be the premium Stellantis subsidiary’s new flagship model, a position currently held by the DS 9 executive sedan, which is produced in China. Stellantis has said that STLA Large platform-based EVs will have 400- or 800-volt battery packs with an energy storage capacity of 85-118 kWh. The upcoming flagship electric sedan from the DS brand, being large and loaded to the brim with comfort and convenience features, might have a slightly higher energy consumption. The potential future DS flagship EV may debut as a concept in 2025, celebrating the Citroën DS’ 70th anniversary and more importantly helping designers and engineers get the necessary feedback from prospective customers for any required changes.
