    Special Edition DS7 Crossback Louvre BlueHDi

     Originally a royal palace, the Louvre Palace was opened to the public as a comprehensive museum in 1793 and houses one of the most beautiful collections in the world with over 35,000 pieces, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. And the Louvre Pyramid (glass pyramid) at the main entrance intuitively incorporates DS Automobiles’ design motifs in its tradition and innovation.

     DS Automobiles has been in partnership with the Louvre since the brand’s inception, sharing the same vision of tradition and modernity.

     The special edition DS7 Crossback Louvre BlueHDi features a glass pyramid design motif throughout the exterior and interior. The DS wing, rear garnish, glass moldings and roof rails are finished in shiny black, while the door mirrors are laser-engineered in a geometric pattern reminiscent of a glass pyramid.

     In addition, the name “”LOUVRE”” is applied to the engine hood, door sides, rear liftgate, and various other areas.

     In the interior, the leather of the center console is also embossed with a glass pyramid motif, which, together with the traditional Parisian “”Clous de Paris decoration”” surrounding the shift lever, creates a glamorous atmosphere.

     The seats feature “”watch strap seats”” made of nappa leather, the symbol of DS Automobiles. The carvings on the seat and back with a wristwatch bracelet design are made from a single piece of leather, asserting the traditional French technique of fabrication.

     The engine installed is the BlueHDi, a 2-liter inline 4-cylinder clean diesel turbo that produces 177 HP and 400 Nm. The transmission is mated to an 8-speed AT “”EAT8″”. The drive system is FF.

     The price of the special edition DS7 Crossback Ruble BlueHDi is 6,600,000 yen (including consumption tax). Four body colors are available.
