The DS 6 represents a subcompact luxury crossover SUV crafted by the French manufacturer DS Automobiles with a focus on the Asian market. As the second DS vehicle—then operating as a sub-brand—to exclude the Citroën emblem, it followed the earlier 2014 release of the DS 5LS. Initially introduced in April 2014 under the name DS 6WR, it became available for purchase in the fall of that year.
Equipped with a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, the DS 6 delivers power at 5800 rpm and torque between 1700 and 4500 rpm, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds. It incorporates a 6-speed Aisin EAT6 automatic gearbox and is constructed on the PSA PF2 platform.
Produced in Shenzhen, China, through the Changan PSA partnership, the DS 6 was aimed at developing markets and exported to nations such as Iran and Angola. Its manufacturing continued until 2020, after which it was replaced by newer models like the DS 3 Crossback and DS 7 Crossback.
