.............................................................
This is the all-new DS 9, and Mat’s about to find out if this luxurious French saloon has what it takes to compete with its German counterparts!
For starters, it’s clearly quite striking on the road. There’s a big grille upfront, along with a strip down the middle of the bonnet - just like you’ll see on a Mercedes Maybach! There are creases down the side and a whole lot of chrome around the back. In fact, the rear even reminds us of an E-Class!
Once you step inside, there are a whole load of plush materials throughout the cabin, as well as large infotainment and digital dial screens. However, neither run as well as what you might find in a Mercedes. But then again, with a starting price of just £40,000, they’re not exactly bad!
In terms of performance, the range-topping DS 9 comes equipped with a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine along with dual-electric motors. All combined, they are good for 360hp.
So what do you think - can the DS 9 compete with class leaders like the S-Class? Or are you better off saving up and going German? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

So, would you consider the DS 9 over the S-Class? 🤔
Nope but for the price its really good
Why
citroen is trash
Do you guys export cars
Yes
Just like every other big Citroen before, it's good to know that in 10 years I'll be driving this for £1200.
I love your optimism that this car would be around at all having suffered a fault that would cost more to fix than the car is worth within the first 3 years
@@TheMRmadhatt Was thinking the same. After 3 years these cars are sh*t. During the first 3 years at least you are covered if something breaks down.

No car is safe from Mat's stick of truth
except BMW lol
“Looks like a bit of a lie…”😂😂 but seriously thou in 2022 I don’t mind fake exhaust these days
All Porsche models have real exhausts and vents
@@victornjensen it's such a shame that a company like Mercedes still provide fake vents and exhaust for such expensive cars
@@victornjensen except Venturi and Ferrari.
The french automakers have really stepped up their game in the recent years! I have a Citroen C3 and I love the design, not to mention that it’s a no-nonsense, comfy daily driver. Well done, France, well done…
They have stepped up...? Are you kidding me...?
They have been already good at making cars and Citroen was always aggressive when it comes to apply new technology into their products. Their cars are famous for good suspension setting. Who do you think the inventor of FWD?
Merci beaucoup 😊
@Billy Jean between 2005-2018 all were rubbish bar Renault
In terms of ride quality, that car is massively underrated, the ride quality is just amazing. Also in terms of manufacturing quality, it's on par with german premium, only the materials are about half class less premium, but for the price is great compromise, you can't get better for that price. I think that Stellantis should put a lot morein marketing as most of people need a first hand experience to get to know the brand because except car lovers, noone knows DS, and if you tell them "it's (was) basically a premium Citroen", many wouldn't think that it's on that level and will not understand the price
PSA owns Faurecia, which primarily manufactures and designs car interiors. Not all cars, usually the more upmarket ones, Audi A8, Ferrari, Hyundai Genesis etc. PSA know how to make a good interior and have the ability to do so!
It’s french. Lol.
I picked up a DS 7 yesterday and I couldn’t agree with you more. I only looked at it because my wife’s friend has a DS3 and I thought the interior was cool. The DS4 is incredibly nice too. Think I’m sold on DS tbh!
They can’t sell these things if they try in Australia
Everyone knows how bad they are and parts are near impossible to get
Wouldn’t be comparing to a Mercedes or BMW or Audi
@@jameswallace7091 And? Is that a problem?
"Design for Design's sake" yes, that is precisely the point of DS
Design's Sake is what DS means lol
DS = Déesse = Goddess
It was a legendary car that started a brand. You should look it up, it is really special.
@@ItsNotAProblem Deez nuts
@@ItsNotAProblem Joe mama
@@ItsNotAProblem And the name is the only thing that's special about a modern DS.
Seems like the French have actually been watching a lot of carwow when designing their cars... Very impressed I must say
what ? the front of the car is incredibly ugly, as Mat points out, the strips on the front don't even line up lmao
@@derailedtrain2517 how are you that daft that you can't understand past, present and future tense...

Hey MW, would you consider including audio quality of car music systems into your reviews going forward, a lot of people choose higher trims simply for the audio tech it would great to know from your reviews if that’s a good way to go. Thanks keep up the great work 👌🏾
yes please
Definitely agree
Yes completely agree, it's one of the most important things in a car for me
200% bro, one big thing missing in his videos is the audio quality discussion.
Sad!
I Drive a DS 9 rivoli + with all the opcional equipment. The model Matt is testing it's a low equiped one. It doesn't have night vision, massage in all the 4 seats, auto pilot, all the seats heated and ventilated, auto parking... More equiped than an E class or 5 series for less. For me, It is also more confortable, but less sporty, having owned other E segment cars. Nevertheless, with no optionals, It has much better features than it's rivals: Matrix LED, front heated, ventilated and massage seats, aceptable driving aids such as adaptative cruise control, the camera operated suspension, key-less entry...
Matt should say all the available equipment the car has. A little bit disappointed with his review.
same here
It would be a lot more popular, especially to fleet owners if it offered the 2.0 HDi engine!
I've waited for this car to come around for about 5 years. I'm not that old but I get a annoyed how everything has got to be sporty. If I want sporty, I'll go buy a gtr... Or supra.. or something that way... With the roads in Britain I cherish my bones and would rather not feel my vertebrae clack together over a pothole at 70.. or any pothole
I just wish they offered diesel variant.. that's my only offput. :(
Ah yeah that sounds great. This is supposed to compete with other top-specced cars, so hopefully he can do a fair review at some point. On the other hand Matt seems to love his BMWs to death, I guess he will be biased no matter how highly specced it is (not flaming, I like Matt having his own opinions).
I agree
Focal is a high end French audio equipment company (it's pronounced Focaaaaaaaal) - they make amazing speakers so I would take that option. Assuming that it's not just a branding exercise.
I have a 2022 Peugeot 5008 and I can vouch for the Focal sound system. They sound very good and they have quite a lot of bass as well thanks to the subwoofer under the seat. Overall an amazing car when you spec it fully.
Just about every branded car audio system is entirely subcontracted to someone else, so chances are this is the same. Of course, it might still soumd good, but designed and built by Focal, it likely isnt.
@@GoldenCroc According to Focal's website: All of the brand’s expertise went into developing this high-fidelity car audio system, which boasts ten speaker drivers featuring exclusive Focal technologies, to deliver pure and detailed sound to your vehicle.
Lesson here is we both could have googled that and saved ourselves a discussion 😀
@@ruk2023-- Well yes, but they would write that, wouldnt they? Not saying its false, but I wont take their word for it, considering the normal car audio procedure. Cheers.
@@GoldenCroc It's all about the wording. They have specifically said they created it. If they said that they consulted on it or something similar I would have the same doubts as you. There's a lot of spin in marketing, I know, it's my profession, but it's not worth getting sued for an easily disprovable lie so I have never encountered a brand that would be completely untruthful.
Matt, as an owner of DS7 I can tell you one thing. You should have reviewed the higher spec one. There you get much more for your money, lots of things that you don't have in a much more expansive German brands. And the price difference is not that big from the lower end. Somewhat seems like you don't do DS justice in both clips, DS7 and DS9.
It's with all brands. They can always do better. BUT i also think it's not that easy to get the specific car they want. You know, rules, availability, marketing, etc
@Sıradan bi fani and how much is an s class? This car is not its competitor.
@Sıradan bi fani that’s because that’s is the USP of these inferior brands. Same thing with every single Asian car company, their lower end hatchbacks will have standard equipment that not even the 7 series or s class have
@@aknsandal4505 👍👍👍
@@J000GA DS 9 in my opinion better than DS 7.
DS is one of my favorite brands because they're never afraid to do things differently
Like pansexual people
wtf their whole lineup looks like Chinese copies of Audis
@@ilovesheryterry Falou pouco e falou merda
I don't know why all the hatred for french cars comes from. I know BMW, Audi (esp Audi) Mercedes, Landrover and Volvos all have problems from new. I've driven them like I've driven Citroen Peugeots and Renault's and hardly any difference between them except for the price.
Hello Matt! Love your videos!
Would you consider making a part in your video reviews where you show how the external lights (and maybe the interior ones too) look at night e.g. back tailgate lights, front daily running lights + headlights and lastly the turn indicator lights? Would be nice to see that as some of the cars have some great designs!
Great idea actually
Great idea!
Really good idea, hadn’t thought about this but it would be nice to see
I’m agreeing with you mate. Car in nighttime with ambiente/interior light is a must nowadays
Fabulous idea
Finally, I'm on lunch been waiting for the notification to drop. Took your sweet time Carwow.
Same

I am waiting for 308!🤩
The reason why the petrol door is locked and takes a while to open is because it’s pressurized. This is done to keep the petrol fresh in case you go a long time without replacing the gas.
As far as I see this car has a fuel filler cap as well as the fuel filler door. The fuel filler door being pressurised makes no sense. All petrol cars have had pressurised fuel filler caps for more than twenty years. Not a very good design from an established carmaker, (I’m not surprised from a French carmaker who still produce unreliable cars). Petrol doesn’t need to be kept “fresh”. Your argument makes absolutely no sense. Yet another reason not to buy a French car, they can’t even get this basic requirement correct!
@@eamonnmcdermott1939 Can you explain about unreliablity of french cars? They are far more reliable than American and German cars
@@Schervin He is just repeating tired stereotypes and not looking at actual recent reliability data.
Are we talking real data or "customer surveys" here?
@@Schervin The most unreliable brand is Jaguar / LR. French cars sit somewhere above German ones but are still unreliable . Had two recent Renaults and a Citroen as company cars and all had annoying and occasionally serious faults . Even Japanese cars are nowhere near as reliable as they were . Particular Nissans.
Thanks for the video!
Car looks great I hope to see a lot on the roads. I’d still have a Critreon C6
I would like 360hp hybrid version. But... the fuel tank capacity totally this disqualifies the car and renders it super annoying.
BTW: It's not an S Class competitor lol, not even close that pricetag.
It's direct Lexus ES 300h, 5 series and E-Class competitor.
Thiss is correct
Well the es300 does not compete with thr 5 series or e class
@@AHMEDMOOSAJI competes with 4 cylinder variants. Same price tag as ES 300h Luxury Line and f sport depending on additional equipment.
This competes with a Ford Focus or Vauxhall. It’s total pants.
@@AHMEDMOOSAJI it does, they discontinued GS(an actual 5series competitor) a long ago
How can a car that's the same length as an E-class be an S-class rival?
That's modern automotive journalism for you.
It's the Peugeot's flagship model, similar to what the S class is.
@@EinkOLED it's a DS. But I get what you're saying
@@EinkOLED still doesn't make it a competitor to the S-class. By that logic the Miata is Mazda's fastest roadster, therefore is a competitor to the 911 Turbo S. Utter bollocks.
Spot on.
It's clearly a size down from the S-Class and in no way is it a competitor to that car.
Amazing video Mat!
10:09 pure gold! 😂😂😂
I have a Peugeot 508, various parts on this look the same, even the front thang light design. Guessing they used that as the basis on the DS9 since it's part of the same group. If you can't afford a DS9 the Peugeot 508 is definitely one to look at!
It's built on the same platform, they just extended the wheel base and the DS perks. But under the skin it's a 508. Same as my DS7 is the same as 3008/5008. Some parts are the same, and engine/gears are same.
@@MarkLaingold oh I didn't know that about the DS7. Always loved the DS7, DS do feel and look a lot more luxury. However Peugeot still has a sense of luxury and design.
Wish the DS9 had a hatchback boot however, feel that would've made it a bit more practical, like the 508 has
Peugeot 508 is better because firstly, it doesnt look as much like a toyota, its cheaper and it isnt made in china or "assembled"
But. The thing is Peugoet is all in all trash.
French cars really sucks 😆
Matt we appreciate you mate, you always keep us updated and entertained. 🔥🔥🔥👊🏾
Overall great video...
These bots need to get fixed
What a refreshing change from the…usual. Love it.
It looks nice. You know I would really appreciate a real world comparison between this car and its main competitors, the E class 5 series and A6. Kind of like, 6 weeks of daily driving each of the vehicles and then comparing them.
Thank you so much for this amazing video Mat
The fuel door is because it is a pressurized system and has to balance the pressures. Same thing on the Jeep 4xe, and putting your gas cap on can give you a CEL and cause limp mode. Progress!
@@09feb1992 I’m just going off the 4xe Jeep products. Out of the Wrangler line-up, they have the only fuel door that can have that odd delay, and has a special button you have to press to unlock it.
And I should have clarified, putting the cap on wrong causes a CEL.
This review was the best!! Haha you are the most entertaining car reviewer! Disco baby haha so funny, always making us laugh
You can sense the Peugeot 508 feel in the interior there ,especially with that gear selector.
45k for a non-hybrid 1.6l engine? What crazy times we are living at.
Koenigsegg Gemera is £2m with 2.0l 3-cylinder twin-turbo engine, okay it has 3 electric motors, but still….. 😂😂
@Teamgeist no, it's much cheaper. For 40k you have 2.0 tsi engine not that pathetic 1.6.
@@TheEryk03 keep in mind that DS is considered as a premium brand whereas VW...... So fair enough for the price
@Teamgeist 2.0 TSI much better than 1.6 THP.
@@luigiyang7268 and premium brand have 1.6 liter and non premium 2.0 XD
Yeah it seems Skodas start/stop button is in the right place then!
Fuel tank is pressurised as it’s a plug in hybrid, using a NIRCO system, the system has to depressurise separately, virtually all plug ins require a separate button to unlock the fuel door
interesting, i thought it's because ppl might steal your fuel if its unlocked, no one will steal your electricity lol
It's more like an E Class rival, not a S Class rival.
Yeah, it's S class space with E class money.
I'm pretty sure that if you find yourself in a Mercedes showroom you won't find yourself in a DS showroom unless you are lost
@@nelsonclub7722 Excellent 😊
Can u wow us by a review on the ferrari SUV?!👌🏻👌🏻😂😂
I swear you were taking the Mickey. Good fun to watch as always!
Looking forward to see DS4’s review!!!
All I have to say to Mat is...
Merci beaucoup!
Amazing how he can spit a new video each day! Carwow Mat has certainly "wowed" me to the max!
Certainly it gets tiring having to present cars every day but I don't think he's involved in the production of the videos. Carwow is a team and Mat plays the presenter role.
@@jesusb9562 it's still greatly impressive. My son (who actually commented up there) just loves watching his videos until the point my husband and I got into Carwow too!
I literally doesn't have any words to say that how i much eagerly waiting for this thank-you vey much cawow ❤
The clock looks lovely!😍😍😍😍
I had 2 large Citroens as company cars back in the day, I didn't choose them but I really liked then...great to drive an very comfortable....I'd have one any day
That’s great Mat ! I’ve already waited for this car because I really enjoy DS making proper cars so France got some finally
yes but the front looks like an audi A8
Alpine already makes proper cars lol
They should make a really high performance version of this. That would be sick
I think DS9 has a great desing. I really love it overall this car. Hello from Turkey.
Nice to see that you were in Coventry, my home town 😁
Piekna linia nadwozia wedlug mnie i wnetrze. Superb jak dla mnie
went for the wrong version, the opera version had ventilated and massage seats at the back and they are lovely
Yeah. I'm not sure about the white color and thin wheels as well.
Not this time; but I come from a time when Citroen made awesome cars. I've owned a Traction V8 Familiale, a DS23 Pallas, a DS23 Presidential, a CX2400 Familliale, a CX2400 Sedan, and an amazing DS23 Grande Velo (6 wheeled estate). My last Citroen was a C6 V6 Saloon. Great cars all; but now I'm on my 7th Lexus, a "breathed-on" GS300 SE-L. Lexus did the upgrade and it is simply incredible. Very very comfortable, silent, utterly reliable and FAST!
Nuff said
Even the badge is subtle and tastefully designed.
"Performance line" Any modern car that takes nearly 9 seconds to get to 60 does not deserve to wear such a badge.
it's named "performance LINE"... in automotive world this means standard car with "sporty trim accessories"... so, not GT, but GT line or, like "Audi A4 S line" and not "Audi S4" 😉
Amazing amazing car,peugeots and ds's are so beautiful cars
Damn good looking car 🙌🏼🔥❤️ from 🇧🇩
Would love one of these in a few years. Good to see the French making a saloon again, despite it being made in Chinya.
Mat is clearly the Best auto journalist on this YT channel ❤️
Ofc cuz hes the only one🤣🤣🤣
it looks great both on the inside and outside, the problem is it's a very small displacement engine for a car of that size 1.6L is for small crossovers, compact sedans or hatchbacks
Agree with this.
1.6L seems too small for a car of this size.
It’s made for fuel efficiency
It’s not as bad as it seems. Mercedes use 1.8
@@gribbles1146 no they don't not in the s class I'm not sure they do in the e class
@@dietznutz1 not in the s class. This DS9 is not a s class competitor.
just started the video, interior, back and profile are beautiful i jus hope the quality is at the place

Nice to see something else than german cars beeing reviewed!
Yes!
First human to reply to this comment because other 3 are Lesbian bots!
The fact that so many far more expensive cars still don't have double glazing is astonishing, even the 2009 C5 had it in all but the rear window.
Jeri Ryan had me watching DS 9 back in the day 👌🏻
On the center console I just think of one spilled drink will ruin that and will look rubbish from then on. Plus would it collect things like lint and dirt? Looks pretty but not sure how practical.
I love the peugeot 508 and I see no reason to prefer an DS9 to 508. Imo sometimes the 508 looks more confident and has a good balance between elegance and sportive
Agree, it’s also cheaper so I see no reason to buy this over the 508
The DS9 is only available as a high end car and as such, it is similarly priced to the top of the range 508 PSE, which uses the same running gear as the dual motor DS9 E-Tense.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review 😀
What a beauty. This car is amazing. I agree with Mat, it is quite Mercedes like.
White is not the right color for it. Dark wine red or flashy Ferrari GTO yellow will be the way to go with this one.
Can we just apperciate him for his best efforts of making good content for us👌
Now if only Car makers could do the same at all times.....
Definitely the best car reviews from Matt !
I won't ever forget the "what an ugly mother fwecker" ;)
But making this car seems worse than it is, like when he's talking abt the design, making DS looks like a copycat of something while the fact it's quite original and tasteful, definitely more tasteful than BMW, Audi, or the current Gen E-Class, which is the closer competition than S-Class that he said
Matt, whiles your are on “dses”, please do a review of the the ds 4.
Lovely looking car. I think however it's about time Citroën updated their indicator and wiper stalks, they've looked the same now for about 10 years I think it is
More like a French's version of Vauxhall Insignia.
Doesn't look high end enough. Still a good car none the less.
I'm so happy happy to see a saloon (read limousine) car,small SUV cars are killing me
So get a big suv
Your inspiring with the amount of content you make, hoping to get to your level someday 💪
It reminds me of an 80s boombox with all the shiny bits on it.
2:23 ‘Design for design’s sake’ … That’s what art is defined by, which is serving no purpose except its own.
Hats of to DS for producing something a bit different, but long term ownership like Mercedes would probably end up being disappointing due to average reliability and customer service. For long term ownership there is only one genuine "luxury" brand and my money would be spent on a Lexus.
We don't know how reliable the DS9 really is - the car just came out.
Lexus isn't much worse then BMW in the last 5years - BMW got better, and Lexus, some engines got worse.
The only car brand I wouldn't touch is Audi/VW - the engines are horrendous.
@@ldorman known issues with lots of BMW and VW engines, no wonder people buy Hondas and Toyotas
@@richiebtime489
the 2.0 TFSI from Audi/VW is terrible.
BMW 4pot engines aren't the best either - the good engines from BMW are the inline 6.
Mercedes is the best regarding Luxurious experience, Lexus is totally outdated Technology that’s why they are reliable because there is nothing to fail. And as long as you bring your Mercedes to the annual maintenance you have nothing to worry about these days. If you have money for a 150k Mercedes s class u also take care of it.
@@purplefabian
I wouldn't spend 150k on a Mercedes.
It is also not the best.
Mercedes regarding quality peaked in the 80s just like Kirstie Alley.
I come from a Mercedes family and my father for a short time went BMW and Jaguar in the 90s and the car in the end he fall in love with was a LS400 after owning for only 6 months an S500.
He drove the Lexus of a friend of his for a few hundred km trough Germany and that was it for him.
If you can afford a Mercedes on leasing or on finance for a few years, they OK, but as a long term companion you can forget them.
Since the W220 the air suspension keeps failing - if you buy any 6+ year old Benz with a.s. and you can't find any information regarding it was serviced you driving a ticking time bomb.
Mercedes customer service - horrendous; only the last 10years they started to get better, however I still hear stories from friends and family who own them what beggars believe.
I love French cars. I use to have 2012 C5 2.0 Hdi remapped to 202 hp. Absolute killer for 320d and 2.0 tdi. Currently driving Lexus IS 300. Why this lovely car needs 8.7 seconds 0 to 60 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Please compare this to the new Dacia Duster!
will you talk about the new renault megane ,arkana and austral, would be great to watch it
Great looking car
It would be a lot more popular, especially to fleet owners if it offered the 2.0 HDi engine!
Thanks for watching I have something to share with you hit me up 👆👆👆
Problem is it becomes increasingly expensive to produce a car with worse fuel economy and regulations keep getting tighter so companies are just doing away with big engine offerings for most cars, there's no need for them to spend the extra and justify it to the important people so they just don't bother
Target market also doesn't seem to be those people, I'm thinking more midlife crisis/middle-aged man with 1-2 kids and likes the idea of a new business looking car, but also is a bit tight and doesn't like fuel prices ect, my dad likes this and that's him in a nutshell
Even the 200hp 2.2L hdi with a manual transmission
@@robert_gasser a manual? Doubt people would buy a manual in an executive car that’s supposedly like a 5 series and e class competitor
@@youraveragejoe1 but idk if you already tried but PSA can't make a good automatic transmission. They're really jerky and have a mind of their own. They tend to completely ruin the drivability and dynamic on mountain roads even in manual gear selection mode
I have the impression that speaking well of a French car is a sin on this channel. this car is made to compete with the German ones, but in this video he presents one of the less luxurious versions. It is sure that when we compare them to the high-end German model presented each time, yes they look less good the French ones
Totally agree, they picked the worst trim for this car, when usually they would present the "top of the line" model
@@undercovercucumber7345 On the other hand, these reviews are more useful. YOu know what you get and these are usually the most balanced versions of the cars and the ones you end up buying. What good is they present some 400HP variant with 40k$ optioned on it?
I imagine he tested what Citroen marketing gave him.
@@an-dr6eu then why do they do it then for the german cars???
Nothing really surprising from a rotten English jerk. They are bitter. In 2022, French manufacturing and quality process is at the top.The DS7 SUV is one of the most efficient on the market, for instance. French automakers are still ranked in the world top 10, while English automotive industry doesn't almost exists anymore, for instance.
Please make a video about the Peugeot 508 PSE!!!
I like the idea of a French 5 series!
looks stunning and beautiful, the inside is insane :-))))
Hell yeah, in less than five years I'll be able to drive a car that I actually like for a price of a new Sandero
@DOLLY PRANE I know exactly what I'm talking about, and I am specifically saying it because of the French used market. You can buy a Peugeot 407 in decent shape for under a grand, but you can't buy a 3 series or a B6 Passat for twice the price in the same condition. Oh, and don't get me started on Škoda's, the second gen Škoda is nowhere to be found under 4 grand, whilst a 508 can be bought for 2.5k
The nice thing with french cars is, the garage manager will be one your best friend during the guarantee time. Believe me, i had one
That's maybe the best looking DS right now.
Crazy how many parts this one shares with my 208 GT. Almost feels at home to me 😄
Mauvaise langue on vous écoute un peu de courage😉
To be honest, it looks so elegant and unique outside (especially in front) ppl who don’t know woulda mistake it for a very luxury car (like Bentley for ex) 🤣, inside it’s fine too nice tech it has all you need (atleast for me)
I used to have the Peugeot 508 GT Line and it’s sort of reminiscent of that in parts
Hi mat can you review the renault austral and nissan x trail 2022 in the future thanks Lee.
Carwow videos with Mat continuously blow my mind
Its nice but I wish it didn’t look so conventional. I want to see a modern take of the DS
Hi Mat, Could you add on to your review a driver sun-blind. What I realised not many manufactures instal a good sun-blinds, sometimes scratching your forehead eg. KIA Ceed (a doubly pleasure when I rent it out abroad) or when you turn to the side is not covering at all - majority of the time is too short. So far Subaru sort the problem out. We really likes your reviews :)
10:10 that is a straight face his puling haha
6:37 because you can steal fuel if you leave your car unlocked by accident but you can’t steal electricity also it might be because you’d use the battery port more frequent than the gas one
But it was still locked even with the car unlocked, he had to press a button (repeatedly) to open it.
@@Xenon0000000000001 my guess is that you can steal fuel but you can’t steal electricity that’s why they’ve done that

DM ☝️☝️☝️ I have something profitable to share with you 🔝🔝🔝
They should've put a bigger engine inside and paired it with the electric motors, they could've borrowed one from either Alfa, Maserati, or Chrysler. This'll never be a proper competitor for other luxury cars because it has an engine from an economy car. Sad really, because I think it's really nice in general otherwise.
Given how much France tax petrol/diesel cars, French people don’t want/need bigger engines. Also given how many speed cameras there are, what do you need 300hp for!? Finally have you seen the price of petrol!? Add to that those euro norms for pollution and you know why they put small engines in cars
@@stephgel so you’re saying why do you need fillet when you can have rump? 😅
@@SF-rs3xm soon it’ll be why do you need rump when you can eat your own hand!
@@stephgel you ask what you need 300HP for, but this car's about as fast as 150HP midsize hatchbacks. Just some food for thought.
300HP really isn't that much on such a heavy car.
@@xIcarus227 So get the 360 hp version??
It looks dope AF
