Sorry, Wagon Lovers, A DS9 Estate Isn’t Going To Happen

An estate version of the DS 9 has been knocked off the table, as Citroen’s premium car brand isn’t interested in expanding the flagship model’s family with a second body style.

Technically, such a ride could exist, because it’s built around the EMP2 architecture that is used in a wide number of PSA vehicles, including the new-gen 508, which comes in a estate variant as well.

“There won’t be an estate version (of the DS 9)”, UK managing director, Jules Tilstone, told Autocar. “It’s an E-segment car, and though it sits on the extended EMP2 platform, it doesn’t sit in the segment where you would have an estate version”, the official added, probably forgetting about the estate versions of the Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6 to name but two.

The large premium sedan recently went on sale in the United Kingdom, in two trim levels and four specifications. The Performance Line + has a starting price of £40,615 (equal to $56,445) for the PureTech gasoline model and £46,100 ($64,068) for the E-Tense, while the Rivoli + comes from £44,715 ($62,143) for the PureTech and £49,200 ($68,376) for the E-Tense.

The E-Tense powertrain family comprises of two PHEVs, with a total output of 225 PS (222 HP / 165 kW) and 360 PS (355 HP / 265 kW) respectively, while the PureTech petrol comes with 225 PS (222 HP / 165 kW).

Depending on your selection, you could get things such as leather upholstery, Alcantara, massaging seats, ambient lighting, premium sound system, Level 2 semi-autonomous driving function and others in the 2021 DS 9.
