The updated DS 7 for Emmanuel Macron: not the most powerful, but the longest.

The current French president has already received the third version of the DS 7 crossover, it is called Elysee, has an armored body, wheelbase increased by 200 mm and a special decor.

In April this year, Emmanuel Macron became president of France for the second time, the inauguration took place in May.

Exactly five years ago, in May 2017, Macron drove around Paris on the same occasion in a then very fresh DS 7 Crossback crossover in the special Presidentiel version.

Its main difference from the stock car was the sliding fabric roof — it allowed Macron to stand in the crossover at full height during the ride and greet citizens.

Last November, the Stellantis corporation gave the French president a much more seriously redesigned DS 7 Crossback Elysee, elongated and with an armored body, but the original model underwent a restyling in June.
