When you're the main status figure, you must move into something special. Right? That's what happens all over the planet. In the US, for example, the issue is taken to an extreme: a vehicle created from scratch, which appears to be a Cadillac limousine, but which is built on a truck chassis and has features worthy of a military vehicle. No wonder they call him the Beast…
In Europe the scenario is not so apocalyptic. In general, the main figures of state move in German or British luxury saloons. As an example, in Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and António Costa travel in Mercedes-Benz models.
In France, the elected president Emmanuel Macron appealed to the nationalist vein and in his inauguration, moving aboard a French model. Like its predecessor, François Hollande, who used a Citroën DS5 HYbrid4.
Emmanuel Macron resorted to the services of the DS 7 Crossback, the new SUV from DS, PSA's premium brand. To fulfill its official role, the French model was properly prepared.
The DS 7 Crossback in question has a specific Ink Blue (dark blue) tone, contrasting with some specific details referring to its function, signatures "République Française" or standard-bearer. On the outside, the 20-inch wheels with exclusive gold finishes stand out. Inside, the cabin is covered above all in black Art Leather, in a theme called Opera Inspiration, to which a French creation was added – Lacquered Canvas designed and manufactured by Atelier Maury.
The biggest highlight is undoubtedly the bespoke panoramic sunroof, which, as observed at the ceremony, seems to be the most suitable equipment for any presidential parades. As for the engine that equips this DS 7 Crossback, there was no advanced data.
The new transport of the President of France will be on display from May 16th at the DS World space in Paris. As for the production DS 7 Crossback, it will start its career early next year.
