Among the 43 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 Analysis

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 520d (1st with 1535 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.
