DS N7 in Portugal: Price, Hybrid and 740 km Electric Range Specs
Published: 20/05/2026
DS N°7: the French premium SUV taking aim at the Germans
740 km of WLTP range in one version, €43,900 starting price in another. The new DS N°7 arrives on two fronts — hybrid and fully electric — and Stellantis' premium brand is going straight after territory long held by the BMW iX1, Audi Q4 e-tron and Mercedes EQA. Good news for anyone watching the Portuguese market: the European launch is set for summer 2026, with French orders already open. The unavoidable question is what the DS N7 price in Portugal will be and which versions actually make sense here.
The N°7 replaces the old DS 7 with 7 cm more length (4.66 m), sits on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, and is built in Melfi, Italy. The whole line shares the same SUV body — what changes is underneath.
Four powertrains: from 145 hp hybrid to 350 hp AWD
DS picked an unusual play for the premium segment: the same car with four distinct powertrains, letting the buyer choose between hybrid efficiency and pure-electric range.
| Powertrain | Power | Battery | Range/Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|
| HYBRID | 145 hp | — | 5.4 l/100 km (121–127 g CO2/km) |
| E-TENSE FWD | 230 hp (boost 260) | 73.7 kWh | 543 km WLTP |
| E-TENSE FWD Long Range | 245 hp (boost 280) | 97.2 kWh | 740 km WLTP |
| E-TENSE AWD Long Range | 350 hp (boost 375) | 97.2 kWh | 679 km WLTP |
The 740 km from the FWD Long Range is, today, the category record for compact premium SUVs — ahead of the Audi Q4 e-tron (around 560 km) and the BMW iX1 (up to 475 km). For a Portuguese driver, that means something concrete: Lisbon-Porto and back without a single charging stop, even with real-world consumption higher than the WLTP figure.
The 350 hp AWD (boost up to 375) does 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds. Not a supercar, but plenty for a family SUV.
Fast charging: 27 minutes to 80%
On DC, the N°7 accepts up to 160 kW. The large battery (97.2 kWh) goes from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes; the smaller 73.7 kWh battery does the same window in 31 minutes. On short stops — the kind where you grab a coffee at an A1 highway station — DS promises around 190 km of range added in 10 minutes.
On AC, the onboard charger is 11 kW as standard, with an optional 22 kW upgrade. Plug&Charge and V2L (vehicle-to-load, for powering external equipment) come standard across all versions — including the hybrid.
Four trim levels: N°7, Pallas, Etoile, La Première
DS's trim ladder has proper names and a clear progression.
- N°7 (base): 19" wheels, adaptive cruise control, keyless entry and start, side and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, 16" central display.
- Pallas: adds heated front seats, laminated side windows, front parking sensors, powered tailgate and wireless phone charging.
- Etoile: brings the LED light grille, Pixel LED Vision headlights, Level 2 semi-autonomous driving, 360° camera and blind spot monitoring.
- La Première: top of the range with 21" wheels, Focal Electra 3D audio (14 speakers, 690 W), Night Vision reaching 300 m, heated steering wheel and windscreen, and Nappa Lounge seats.
The lighting tech deserves its own note: DS's PIXELVISION system reaches 520 metres of visibility — almost double what conventional high beams give you.
DS N7 price in Portugal: what to expect
Official Portuguese pricing isn't out yet. The full French table for the EV versions reads as follows:
| Version | N°7 | Pallas | Etoile | La Première |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| E-TENSE FWD 230 | €46,990 | €58,420 | €64,200 | €70,200 |
| E-TENSE FWD LR 245 | €50,610 | €62,040 | €67,820 | €73,820 |
| E-TENSE AWD 350 | — | — | €71,520 | €77,520 |
The hybrid starts at €43,900. DS placed the base price strategically just under the French CEE incentive cap — and something similar will likely happen in Portugal to get the N°7 inside the bracket of available rebates.
In Portugal, pure EVs still benefit from full ISV exemption (the vehicle registration tax) and reduced IUC (annual road tax), which cancels out much of the gap against the hybrid by the time you do the full numbers. For heavy private use, the Long Range FWD looks like the rational pick: 740 km of range, French base price of €50,610 (no ISV here), and the same cabin comfort as the heavier AWD.
DS N7 vs BMW iX1 and Audi Q4 e-tron
The N°7's competitive position is clear. The BMW iX1 starts around €52,000 in Portugal with about 475 km of range; the Audi Q4 e-tron starts near €54,000 with just over 500 km on its most efficient version. The Mercedes EQA is older and offers under 500 km.
DS arrives with more range, a fresh platform (STLA Medium), and matching tech — 16" central display, 10" driver cluster, head-up display, integrated ChatGPT, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and the DS Active Scan suspension that reads the road via camera. The big open question is residual value: DS doesn't have the resale track record of the German brands, and that tends to bite at trade-in time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Official Portuguese pricing has not been announced yet, but in France the hybrid DS N°7 starts at €43,900 and the E-Tense FWD electric version at €46,990. The Long Range FWD with 740 km of range costs €50,610, and the top La Première AWD reaches €77,520. In Portugal, pure EVs benefit from full ISV exemption and reduced IUC road tax, so the final EV price should land close to the French figures.
The E-Tense FWD Long Range with 245 hp claims 740 km WLTP — a record in the premium compact SUV category, ahead of the Audi Q4 e-tron (around 560 km) and BMW iX1 (up to 475 km). The 230 hp FWD with the 73.7 kWh battery delivers 543 km WLTP, and the 350 hp AWD reaches 679 km. In real-world driving expect about 80-85% of those figures, which is enough for a Lisbon-Porto round trip without charging.
Orders opened in France between March and May 2026, with deliveries starting in summer 2026. Portugal gets the model in the same European wave, with the DS Store network confirming availability over the coming months. Official Portuguese pricing should be announced before deliveries begin.
On DC the DS N°7 accepts up to 160 kW, charging from 20% to 80% in 27 minutes with the 97.2 kWh battery and 31 minutes with the 73.7 kWh one. Short stops recover around 190 km in just 10 minutes. On AC the onboard charger is 11 kW as standard, with an optional 22 kW upgrade, and all versions include Plug&Charge and V2L as standard.
For heavy private use and motorway-heavy mileage, the E-Tense Long Range FWD is the rational pick: 740 km of range, ISV exemption and reduced IUC offset most of the gap against the 145 hp hybrid (€43,900). The hybrid only makes sense for buyers without home or workplace charging, or for fleets with mixed urban/highway profiles.
When does the DS N7 arrive in Portugal
Orders opened in France between March and May 2026; deliveries begin in summer 2026. Portugal gets the model in the same European wave, with the DS Store network confirming availability over the coming months. The price announcement for our market is the one to watch — that's when you'll see whether DS comes in aggressively or sticks to a pure premium play.
If you need a family SUV, cover serious motorway distance, and want to escape the usual three German options, the DS N°7 is worth waiting a few months for before signing anywhere.
