This is the first SUV for the DS brand and represents the next stage in the development of DS in China and around the world.
The unique bodylines combine SUV styling with DS design cues.
At 4.55m long, 1.86m wide and 1.61m tall, with a long wheelbase of 2.73m and 19-inch wheels, DS 6WR's large dimensions meet the needs of premium SUV buyers in terms of space, versatility and dynamics.
DS 6WR is specified with Grip Control - for optimised traction on all types of terrain - without the need for a four-wheel drive system.
This benefits both fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
The e-THP 160 and THP 200 engines are mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox and feature sequential direct injection with a high-pressure pump and a twin scroll-type turbocharger.
Following DS5 in September 2013 and DS 5LS, which was launched at the end of March this year, DS 6WR will be the third DS model to be built in China at the Shenzhen site.
In the first instance, DS 6WR will be introduced by the end of the year in China.
Another locally built model will also be unveiled in the coming months.
The development of DS is underpinned by an expanding network, with 56 'DS Stores' in the country's biggest cities.
