The three main souls of the DS Automobiles range declined in a special collection that bears the name of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of “The Little Prince”. A non-random choice made by the premium Stellantis brand which, after debuting this special series on DS 3, DS 4 and DS 7, has shown more closely the traits of refinement, comfort and design that blend perfectly in these three models which, inspired by the avant-garde spirit of the French writer and humanist, further enhance their characteristics.
A special series
And so in the hangar of Bresso airport, in Milan, the common thread that unites de Saint-Exupéry and DS Automobiles is transmitted onto the road by the latest creations of the French brand which, as per tradition, is now present in this new collection already available in dealerships and perfectly integrated into the brand’s offering and range. All three models share the special “Night Flight” livery, a pearly paint made of pigments that create delicate golden reflections, like a starry sky at dawn. Speaking of starry skies, the first 80 European customers will be offered a certificate with the name of a star, underlining a spirit that transcends the street.
The Saint-Exupéry collection on DS 3
The DS 3 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry boasts an Opéra interior in Criollo Brown Nappa leather with special coverings for the dashboard and door interiors. The lines of a shooting star are reproduced thanks to the satin stitching while the point-pearl stitching is in the Terre de Cassel colour. The airbags are also covered in leather. The door sill is embellished with the quote “Per [… ] those who travel, the stars are guides”, taken from “The Little Prince”. On the bodywork there are distinctive badges that indicate this special collection with the wheel covers in the “Volo di notte” color on the 18-inch Nice rims while the contrasting roof is available in the colors Volo di notte, Grigio Cristallo and Nero Perla. The equipment also includes Keyless Entry & Start, heated seats and navigator connected with DS IRIS SYSTEM and ChatGPT. The new DS 3 Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is available with the 100% electric E-TENSE, HYBRID, PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 130 Diesel engines. The price starts from 36,050 euros.
The DS 4
On DS 4, however, the chosen quote is taken from “Corriere del Sud”, the first book published by the author. It symbolizes the courage, freedom and loyalty of a man who lived on literature and heaven. On the bodywork we find the “Antoine de Saint-Exupéry” badge, with the quote “The stars determine the real distances for us” and the drawing of an airplane are shown on the door sill plates of the front doors. The wheels chosen have a Siviglia design with a diamond cut and are 19″, with wheel covers in the “Volo di notte” color. The interiors are upholstered in Brown Criollo Opéra leather, with double Criollo and Terre de Cassel stitching. The latter also embellish the insides of the doors. The front seats are heated, massaging and cooling. The contrasting roof is available in three colours, Night Flight, Crystal Grey, Black Pearl. The new DS 4 Antoine de Saint-Expéry is available in the 225 HP plug-in hybrid, Hybrid, PureTech 130 petrol and BlueHDi 130 Diesel engines. The price in this case starts from 43,700 euros.
The exclusive DS 7
Finally, DS 7, which instead cites “The wisdom of the sands”, a collection of reflections on the human condition, posthumous to the author. In this case, a new “Antoine de Saint-Exupéry” badge on the doors and a new wheel cover in the “Night Flight” color underline the exclusivity of this Collection. The 21-inch New York wheels were also expressly designed for the DS 7 Plug-in Hybrid 4×4 360. Four colors are available: the special Night Flight, Crystal Grey, Pearl Black and Imperial Blue. The interiors are always Opéra Marrone Criollo, with Nappa leather boasting Tramontana embroidery and Terre de Cassel point-pearl stitching. An “Antoine de Saint-Exupéry” badge finishes the dashboard and adds to the quote “It is the path of dialogue between the stars and us”, together with the stars sketched on the door sills of the front doors. The elegance on board is also underlined by additional stitching in Criollo Brown while the steering wheel is entirely covered in Basalto era leather, including the airbag cover. The front seats are heated, massaging and cooling. The sound-absorbing crystals guarantee maximum comfort. The range of engines in this case includes the 360, 300 and 225 HP PHEVs and the 130 HP BlueHDi diesel. The price starts from 50,250 euros.
