The sophisticated new kid on the premium block, originally born in 2009 as a high-end sub-brand of Citroen, DS then stepped out of the shadows to become its own standalone marque in 2015. Inside a DS, you won't find a generic cabin; instead, you’ll find 'watch-strap' leather seats, diamond-cut detailing, and luxury craftsmanship inspired by Parisian high fashion. A leader in electrification, whether you’re looking at the chic DS 3, the refined DS No 4, or the stylish, comfortable electric DS No 8, every model now focuses on smooth, silent, and sustainable performance.
If you want a lease that prioritises individual style, cutting-edge tech, and a 'first-class' travel experience, DS is your perfect match. This is evident in the DS 3 Crossback, which combines a digital cockpit and touch screen infotainment centre with the diamond shaped central air vents and touch controls; it's one of DS's more popular vehicles in the UK. However the No 4 is becoming another very popular vehicle in the range.
DS aim to produce cars that are kinder to the planet, evident in the development of their electric vehicle range.
A DS lease is ideal for those looking for a stylish and spacious car that packs in plenty of modern safety and entertainment technology. Deciding on the right DS for you will be a personal choice, depending on what you're looking for as each model offers different advantages for example, the DS 3 has cutting-edge technology, the DS No 4 prioritises driver comfort and the DS No 7 is a spacious SUV ideal for larger families.
DS offers a substantial electric lineup, headlined by the debut of the DS No 8 flagship crossover which offers a massive 98kWh battery and a driving range of up to 469 miles. This is joined by the new DS No 7 SUV coming soon, which provides a similar long-range capability of 460 miles, and the redesigned DS No 4 electric hatchback featuring a 58.3kWh battery. These new arrivals complement the existing DS 3 E-Tense compact SUV, which maintains a 270-mile range and 100kW fast-charging.
DS's main rivals include Volvo, BMW and Audi.

Leasing a car has many benefits that appeal to a lot of divers. Monthly payments to lease a car are usually lower than a car loan would be and are definitely easier than paying a lump sum to purchase a car outright. Your choice of cars is usually better because of this, so you could end up driving your ideal car without having to pay more than you can afford.
There are no depreciation concerns either. When you buy a car, it begins to devalue from the moment you purchase it, but with leasing you can return the car at the end of your lease and choose a different one depending on your needs and circumstances at the time without having to worry about the resale value of the car.
DS is a great brand to choose if you're looking to lease a reliable and stylish vehicle.

The cheapest DS offer will change depending on the leasing deals available, however the DS 3 tends to be one of the cheapest thanks to its lower retail price.
The flagship DS N°8 leads the range with an impressive WLTP distance of up to 466 miles, closely followed by the DS N°7 which offers 460 miles in its long-range configuration. For more compact options, the DS N°4 provides approximately 280 miles of range, while the DS 3 E-Tense serves as the entry point with a 250-mile capacity.
Charging speeds also vary to match these battery capacities, with the premium N°7 and N°8 models supporting 160 kW fast charging that allows for a 10% to 80% top-up in just 27 minutes. The DS N°4 supports up to 120 kW, and the DS 3 peaks at 100 kW, with both taking roughly half an hour for a similar charge level. For home charging, most models feature an 11 kW on-board charger as standard, meaning a typical 7.4 kW wallbox will fully charge the smaller batteries in about 8 hours, while the larger 97.2 kWh batteries in the flagship models require over 13 hours for a full cycle from empty.
