DS7 Crossback

Several of the cars in this class offer an intriguing leftfield take on downsized, high-rise motoring luxury, but none do it quite like the DS7 Crossback. This new SUV flagship has ornate (though derivative) exterior styling, is upholstered in lavishly upmarket materials and has the imaginative flourish of a car built to stand out.To drive, the car stands out for as many of the wrong reasons as the right ones. Its digital instruments are unusual but hard to read, its perceived quality isn’t as high as it might be across the board, and while it rides softly and can be comfortable and refined at times, at other times it can be brittle-riding, remote-handling and imprecise to place.
