On the occasion of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s State Visit to France, the DS 7 gained notable international visibility.
Welcomed in front of the Arc de Triomphe, Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla were then invited to the Élysée Palace after a drive along the iconic Avenue des Champs-Élysées aboard a DS 7.
The two Heads of State paraded in a DS 7 Crossback Presidential, a very special car whose first appearance dates back to May 2017. It is the first unit put into circulation. Equipped with a custom-made retractable roof and signature elements of the role (signatures of ‘French Republic’, flag-bearer, armor, etc.), its interior is covered in black Art Leather and Laque Canvas, designed and manufactured by the Maury Workshop.
Other units, including the DS 7 Élysée, accompanied the procession. Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron were in one of these cars produced in Mulhouse. Entered into the French Presidency fleet in November 2021, the DS 7 Élysée is a unique creation based on the E-Tense 4×4 300, with an extended chassis and specific equipment to transform it into a working tool. The DS 7 Élysée is part of a long line of Citroën, now DS, vehicles built for the Presidency of the Republic.
An appropriate choice given that this 100% electric range aligns with the fact that the British sovereign has made biodiversity protection and fighting climate change a priority of his reign.
