Buying Tips for 2025–2026 DS Automobiles DS 7 Crossback / DS 7

• Test the Active Scan suspension (if fitted) on a bumpy road to ensure it operates smoothly without harsh knocking.
• Check the motorized rotating headlights on startup; the swivel mechanisms can fail and are expensive to rectify.
• Verify the operation of the complex digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen, which can suffer from software freezes.
• On E-Tense PHEV models, check the health of the high-voltage battery and ensure the charging port flap locks/unlocks correctly.
• Inspect the extensive interior chrome and gloss black trim for scratching, which dulls the premium feel.
• Check the diesel models (BlueHDi) for AdBlue system faults, a known issue across the wider Stellantis group.
