Originally, the DS 9 (internal code X83) was to be unveiled in April 2019 at
Auto Shanghai, but its presentation was postponed for the first time in November for
Auto Guangzhou in China, then a second time until March 2020. Following the end of the
Changan PSA Automobiles (CAPSA) joint venture of
PSA and
Changan Automobile,
Baoneng Group which took over the Shenzhen plant where Chinese DS are built, signed an agreement to produce DS, including the next DS 9 in
Shenzhen. On 20 February 2020, DS announced the imminent presentation of a new model. The DS 9 was unveiled to the press on 27 February 2020, and was due to make its first public appearance at the 90th edition of the
Geneva Motor Show on 3 March 2020. The Swiss show, however, was cancelled at the last moment due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike the
DS 7 Crossback, which is produced both in France and in China, the DS 9 is assembled only in China by Baoneng's Shenzhen factory. File:DS 9 E-Tense Auto Zuerich 2021 IMG 0395.jpg|Rear view File:DS 9 E-Tense Auto Zuerich 2021 IMG 0226.jpg|Interior ==Technical characteristics==
