DS introduces the Louvre special series on its DS 3 Crossback SUV, after having offered it in 2020 on the DS 7 Crossback. The latter integrates it again for the occasion. These high-end versions are billed from € 39,700 for the DS 3 Crossback and € 55,500 for the DS 7 Crossback.
A partner of the Louvre since its official debut as a manufacturer in 2014, DS Automobiles continues its collaboration with the most visited museum in the world by releasing a new special Louvre series for its DS 3 Crossback. Already offered in 2020 on the large DS 7 Crossback, it is reviewed and relaunched on the latter at the same time.

The DS 3 Crossback notably features specific badges on the hood, trunk and front doors. The grille and the DS Wings turn black, as does the surround of the taillights. Finally, the central bonnet strip is marked with a specific “Pyramid” treatment under the paint, also available on 18-inch alloy wheels and black mirror caps. On board, the Opera atmosphere is chosen, with black nappa leather strap and clear stitching. Like the exterior, the dashboard and the black gear lever surround receive engraved Pyramid motifs and exclusive badges.

The collaboration with the Louvre does not stop there, since the museum and DS Automobiles have jointly selected 182 works displayed on the central screen of 10.3 inches, as well as podcasts of around 4 minutes on the most emblematic works of the exhibition space. You will be able to drive with an on-screen reproduction of Mona Lisa, of Coronation of Emperor Napoleon Ier, by Jacques-Louis David, or TheLiberty leading the people, by Eugène Delacroix.

Already offered in 2020, the Louvre special edition is back in the DS 7 Crossback catalog. This “new collection” adopts the same specific badges and pyramid-style engravings on the black mirror caps. The 20-inch Alexandria rims are also still in the game. The DS 7 Crossback remains available in four colors: Ink blue, Crystal Pearl, Perla Nera black and Platinium gray. However, the range of engines has been revised. The Louvre limited series is no longer available in diesel, and it only keeps three proposals : 180 hp PureTech gasoline and 225 and 300 hp E-Tense and E-Tense 4×4 plug-in hybrids. As for the price, it is set between € 55,500 and € 68,700 depending on the finish, i.e. a difference of € 1,500 compared to the 2020 edition.
