标致雪铁龙高端品牌DS近日宣布将推出一款电动概念车。车厂设计主管ThierryMetroz在照片墙上发布了该车视频。这款被称为DSXE-Tense的概念车从名称上看应该是一辆电动或混动概念车，而字母“X'表明这是一辆配备双电机甚至四电机的全驱车型。从侧面轮廓看，该车采用长长的引擎盖和肌肉感前翼，宽阔轮拱内隐藏这硕大轮胎。看起来像是一辆轿跑车或造型锐利的运动风格轿车，采用独特LED照明系统。从视频看，DS品牌正在开发两个版本的概念车，其中一款采用传统布局车厢，另一款是类似F1赛车的开放式单座车厢。DS将在本月开幕的北京车展发布这款概念车。车厂已经承诺将每年都推出新款电动车型。首先将推出hybrid DS 7 Crossback E-Tense，该车搭载149千瓦/200马力汽油引擎和八速高效变速箱。

 

DS Teases New DSX E-Tense Concept With Sleek Silhouette

DS, the French premium brand part of the PSA family, has announced on social networks the arrival of a new electrified concept car. The text accompanying the teaser video, published by the company’s head of design, Thierry Metroz, on Instagram, reveals it’s a study previewing the mobility in the distant future.

 

The name of the mysterious vehicle, DSX E-Tense, raises a couple of questions and we have answers for at least two of them. E-Tense basically means we will be dealing with an electric or a hybrid concept, while the “X” could be related to an all-wheel drive with two or four electric motors.

 

The silhouette that we see briefly in the video is characterized by a long hood and muscular wings with wide arches hiding massive wheels. It looks like a coupe or a sharpened sedan with a sporty character and distinctive LED light signature. The video also suggests DS could be working on two versions of the concept – one with a traditional closed cabin and another with an open single-seat cockpit, just like in Formula cars.

 

As far as the date when we will see the DSX E-Tense in its full glory is concerned, most likely, DS will bring the show car to Beijing for the local international auto show in the end of April.

 

The company has already promised it will launch a new electrified vehicle every year. The start of the electric push was given with the hybrid DS 7 Crossback E-Tense, which has a gasoline engine with 200 horsepower (149 kilowatts) paired to an efficient automatic gearbox with eight speeds.
