At the same time, similar to the S-Class, it’s lavishing you in luxury and tech, while covering distances at a great pace. Claiming to be the sportiest of the German trio, while providing excellent levels of luxury and comfort, the BMW 7-Series boasts a rear-wheel-drive setup, which even with the optional X-drive system is rear-wheel-drive-biased. The representative from Munich is another benchmark when it comes to premium executive sedans. The DS9 has really taken the best of the best.

With the S-class, you can opt for the 4Matic all-wheel-drive system, regardless of which engine you go for. However, due to its rear-wheel-drive layout, the interior is not as flexible as the DS9. The S-class is also significantly longer at 203.9 inches (5,179 mm), compared to the DS9’s 194.3 inches (4,934 mm). In addition, its rear-wheel-drive, layout is simply a better platform when it comes to performance.

The majority of the dashboard is covered either in Alcantara or Nappa leather, depending on your preference. When we said, the interior features lots of leather, we meant a lot.

It not only manages to combine classic and modern elements but makes the 7-series and S-class interiors look almost brutalist and cold. The DS9’s interior is quirky, yet intuitive. It’s safe to say that the second seat row is like your own comfy cocoon. You also have your own controls, for the climate control, seats, and even the ambiance. The rear seats, just like the front, are reclining, vented, heated, and can massage you.

This is an S-class/7-series competitor and as such you get plenty of features in the back. In true French tradition, the interior of the DS9 spoils you with a plethora of high-grade materials, leather, and quirky but elegant design elements.
