So whats the ideal way to get that sort of mileage from the traction battery ?
Your figures are more than what the manufacturers quote ?
Electric driving is a state of mind and requires compromise. Such a range is certainly not possible during rush hour in the city. Then, the range is closer to 50 km.
If I want to go wild, I turn on Sport mode. Electric mode is for relaxed (and cheap) everyday driving.
Driving electric mode, I save money for potential repairs 
In February 2025, I filled the tank with fuel. After five months (July 2025), I’d only filled it with 21 liters of fuel. During that time, I was riding purely electric. I’d only done one longer trip (ap. 300km) during that time, so I used some fuel. During this time I traveled 7,000 km. Average energy consumption (pure el. driving) was 2.86 miles/1kW (22kW/100km).
Unfortunately, such results are not available for the DS7, especially the 4x4 version. My C5 Aircross 225 has results that are about 10 km worse, despite having a battery that’s about 0.7 kWh larger.

@Andrew_PL you’ve definitely set the target to beat, if it ever will be that is!
It’s possible to equalize, but should it be increased? It depends on the conditions. I think the maximum is 80 km (50 miles). But it has to be a single trip from 100% to 0% and an average speed of no more than 50-55 km/h. No stopping at traffic lights. The outside temperature should be around 15 degrees Celsius, because then you can turn off the A/C (this helps with coverage). I might try it when I get the chance. It’s impossible in the city, and that’s usually how I travel.
My driving is almost all urban, stop/start, short journeys, with very little motorway trips.
Cant see me achieving anything better than what I’m already seeing.
Yes that would be the ideal situation, stop/start in traffic does make a difference, same as when driving a normal ICE car. I tend to use the “B-mode” to slow down, and play the game of trying not to stop.
A respectable result.

Thats in a 4x4 DS7 ??
So whats your secret 
Just an update that my range does indeed improve if doing a long steady run. The Problem for us is too much stop start driving around town. Relieved the Battery range is all working as it should. Having problems now though with other issues, perhaps I should start a new thread?
Thanks guys 
That is in the warmer months, currently I have 34 miles showing and that’s using heating, headlights and wipers on parts of the journey. I charge at home and at work as the commute is 40 miles each way on all types of roads from 70 to 20 mph and traffic. The morning is around 1.5 hrs average but the evening is over 2.5 most nights rising to 3 or more on a Friday.
I find if I keep it in electric mode below 50 mph and switch to comfort/hybrid for the faster roads I get slightly better electric range. That said if I give it some beans then it all goes out of the window 
It seems to be that longer journeys really do help in getting that range level up.
Best I’ve seen is 34 miles which has now dropped to 23 during the last few colder months.
Unfortunately my journeys are short, 5 miles from the house to work and the same going home, this short journey is split between urban and motorway driving.
These short trips are done over 4 days per week, the car is then usually parked up for the other 3 days, and then it’s the same again the following week.
Not range, but last trip yesterday 6 miles through town, 4.1 m/kW, so that means 40+ is possible - mmm ill see.
Sorry Stu, bit confused.
Are you seeing 40 miles on the prediction after a full charge ?
I’m having one of those days 
No, if you multiply 4.1n/kW by battery capacity and it to comes to around 45 miles so thats 40+, sorry to confuse things.
Ah, ok makes sense now.
Where can you see your trip mileage per kw.
I’ve scrolled through all the settings on my display but cant see that info ?
So my 75km result is approximately 46.5 miles (4.2m/kW) with a consumption of about 11.2kW. Currently, I can only charge 10.5kW (out. temp. 0 to+5); I’ll wait for warmer nights, as I only charge at night.
Where can I find these figures on the dash display ?
I get 0-100% capacity from my charger, not from the dash. The rest was calculated manually based on mileage 75km but then capacity was 11,2kW.
So that charger is reading off your traction battery ?
