Detailed analysis of the DS 5 THP 165 S&S EAT6 Style · 165 CV (2015-2018)
General description
The DS 5 is not just a car; it's a statement of intent, a rolling sculpture that defies classification. Born in 2015 under the newly independent DS brand, this vehicle presents itself as the embodiment of French luxury and avant-garde. With its 165-horsepower THP gasoline engine and smooth automatic transmission, it promises a journey that goes beyond mere transportation, seeking to awaken emotions from the very first moment you lay eyes on it.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 5 envelops you in an atmosphere of serenity and contained power. The 1.6 THP engine pushes with surprising smoothness from low revs, thanks to generous torque and an EAT6 automatic gearbox that works in perfect harmony, without any jerkiness. It doesn't aim for explosive sportiness, but for the pleasure of traveling with poise and confidence. Its chassis offers a good compromise between agility and comfort, although the suspension can feel a bit firm on uneven asphalt, a small price to pay for its imposing presence and 18-inch wheels.
Design and aesthetics
This is where the DS 5 becomes a legend. Its exterior design is a daring work of art, with that chrome line that starts at the headlights and extends to the A-pillar, creating an unforgettable visual signature. But it's when you open the door that the magic completely captivates you. The interior, inspired by an airplane cockpit, is a spectacle. The center console and the roof are filled with switches, the flattened steering wheel invites you to drive, and the panoramic roof floods a space that feels intimate and luxurious with light.
Technology and features
The technology in the DS 5 is integrated into its aviation cockpit concept, seeking the experience more than the latest novelty. The central touchscreen, which was an improvement at the time, serves its purpose for navigation and the multimedia system, although today it feels a bit slower. What's truly fascinating is the interaction through its physical buttons, which makes you feel like a pilot at the controls. Elements like the Head-Up Display reinforce that feeling of being in a premium vehicle of its era, where technology was at the service of creating a unique atmosphere.
Competition
Finding a direct rival for the DS 5 is an almost impossible task, as it plays in its own league. By concept and price, it could be measured against premium sedans like the Audi A4 or the BMW 3 Series, but its soul is completely different. While the Germans bet on dynamic perfection and sobriety, the DS 5 seduces those who seek originality, art, and differentiation above all else. It is an alternative for the driver who values personality and bold design.
Conclusion
The DS 5 THP 165 is a purely emotional purchase. It's a car that chooses you as much as you choose it. Its spectacular design and dreamlike interior transport you to another dimension, offering a refined and pleasant driving experience. While its practicality may be compromised by its aesthetics and its technology is not the most current, it compensates with a character and exclusivity that few cars can offer. It is a gem for those who appreciate design and audacity, a future classic that will always turn heads as it passes.
