The DS Divine takes the form of a low-slung four-door subcompact that stretches 165 inches long, 53 inches tall and nearly 78 inches wide. The Divine’s front end is inspired by recent DS models like the 6WR and the 5LS, while the rear end gets oversized exhaust pipes and thin LED tail lamps that stretch far into the quarter panels. The headlights pack built-in Swarovski crystals, an upscale feature also found on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe.
Inside, the DS Divine is equipped with an overly futuristic dashboard designed to look like diamond-quilted leather and an similarly stylized center console. For those who prefer a more down-to-earth look, DS promises the dash cap and the trim on the door panels can be removed and replaced in just 15 minutes, taking the concept of customization to new heights.
Power for the DS Divine concept comes from a direct-injected 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 267 horsepower at 6,000 rpms and 243 lb-ft. of torque between 1,900 and 5,500 rpms. The four-banger is the most realistic part of the concept because it already equips the Peugeot RCZ R and it will likely power the production version of the 308 R concept.
Although the Divine concept will likely not be added to the DS catalog as a regular production car, it accurately previews the design language that will define the company’s models over the coming years.
