The DS 9: Not as boldly stylish as its 1950s inspiration, but worth seeing ‘in the metal’ (Peugeot)

So, long story short, to begin with. The DS 9 is basically a rebadged, rebodied, longer-wheelbase version of the Peugeot 508 saloon, built in China and given the Peugeot Citroen group’s posh new DS label, and fitted out with nice luxury trim. It’s got four doors, no hatch, five seats, and – as a plush executive saloon with an emphasis on relaxed comfort – invites sedate motoring.
