As a luxury brand of PSA, DS (Ai Shi) has entered China in 2012 in Chang’an and PSA in 2012. However, it is really a wolf. In 2019, because of the long-term loss, Changan and PSA sold all the equity to Baileng Group, and DS can only operate independently.
The DS in the turbulent period is naturally a terrible. In 2019, there were 2110 in China in China. In 2020, only 500 vehicles were only accumulated, such results, said it is the worst luxury brand.

Small knot
In general, the three new cars held by the DS brand also have a certain point of view. Can be introduced, the comparison of the current single product line is really better. However, the problem is that they have no exact introduction time since now, this is notForbidden people want to ask, is this in the back of your strength or effort?
