Hot car deal: DS 9 executive saloon for just £292 a month

The DS 9 is an interesting alternative to the established executive car players from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. Its individual sense of style and impressive quality will turn some heads, but it remains a slightly quirky take in a market that normally favours a typically Teutonic approach. While the DS 9 benefits from decent levels of comfort and an efficient plug-in hybrid setup, we’ve previously been critical of pricey finance deals attached to the French saloon – an issue that this particular offer addresses to some extent. With these relatively affordable monthly payments in place, the DS 9 is certainly worth a look.

What’s so good about this DS 9 deal? 

This three-year deal from LeaseCar.uk lets you cover up to 5,000 miles each year, with an initial payment of £3,504.84, then monthly payments of £292.07. There is flexibility to tailor the deal further if you wish, but this will incur additional charges. For example, doubling the annual mileage to 10,000 miles per year means you’ll pay £321.28 every month.

The DS 9 in this deal comes in Performance Line specification which includes 19-inch alloy wheels, DS active LED Vision headlights, front and rear parking sensors, keyless entry and start, heated front seats, Alcantara upholstery, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and a 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen with 3D connected sat-nav.

Power comes from a 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid petrol engine producing 222bhp via an eight-speed automatic gearbox. 0-62mph takes 8.3 seconds, while you should be able to travel up to 25 miles on all-electric power.

What’s so good about the DS 9?

The DS 9 offers a decent package – particularly at this reasonable price – with plenty of quality in combination with its own individual style and feel. Some may find the DS 9 refreshingly different to the executive norm, while others may favour a more traditional approach. The choice is yours, but this three-year lease deal might be the best way to experience a little French flair.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the three-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
