About The Citroen DS7

If you look at the DS 7 Crossback, you could get the impression that this is a luxury SUV. The exterior design is so high-quality and extravagant. The DS is also a status symbol. In terms of its dimensions, however, the Crossback is still in the compact SUV segment.

The DS 7 Crossback has only been around in this form since 2017, after being unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. However, deliveries only began almost a year later in January 2018. The fact that the DS 7 Crossback hasn't existed for long is also due to the fact that the DS brand hasn't been around that long. It was only in 2014 that the line, which was inspired by the legendary sedan with the model name DS and originally existed as a luxury variant within Citroen, was detached as a private label.

The DS 7 Crossback now also belongs to its own brand, but of course it still shares the platform with the relatives of the PSA group. These include the Opel Grandland X, the Peugeot 5008 and the Citroen C5 Aircross. Of the above, the DS as a luxury model has the greatest amenities.

Which oil is used in the DS7?

All DS 7 engines should only be run with engine oil that has been approved by the manufacturer; for many engines, we recommend a 0W30 oil with PSA B71 2312 approval.
