Manufacturer data · motorway values calibrated by the Caralogy engine

Among the 15 grand tourers plug-in hybrid, the DS9 E-Tense 250 combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (top 3 in segment), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the DS9 E-Tense 250 through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

grand tourer plug-in hybrid among the best in segment: 3rd of 15 in Electric WLTP range (55 km).

Less suitable for

Very long trips without stopping. With 55 km combined range, expect more frequent refuelling than other PHEVs in the segment.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Bmw 530e (1st with 62 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Bmw 530e (1st with 857 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 55 km pure electric ( (top 3 in segment))

With a full battery, the DS9 E-Tense 250 drives in pure electric mode for the first 55 km WLTP — placing it 3rd of 15 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Bmw 530e (62 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the DS9 E-Tense 250 behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Frequently asked questions

DS DS9 E-Tense 250: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the DS9 E-Tense 250 rank in its segment?#

Among the 15 grand tourers plug-in hybrid 2019–2023, the DS9 E-Tense 250 ranks 3rd of 15 in Electric WLTP range (55 km, behind the Bmw 530e), 15th of 15 in Combined range (55 km, behind the Bmw 530e), 10th of 15 in Thermal cons. estimated (6.2 L/100, behind the Bmw 530e), 15th of 15 in 0–100 km/h (8.2 s, behind the Bmw 545e xDrive).

What is the électrique range of the DS9 E-Tense 250?#

55 km WLTP announced — making it the 3rd of 15 in autonomie du segment out of 15 models. The reference is the Bmw 530e (62 km).

How much does the DS9 E-Tense 250 cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Bmw 530e instead?#

The Bmw 530e leads in Electric WLTP range (62 km vs 55 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the DS9 E-Tense 250 vs Bmw 530e duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
