The DS 9 is an executive car introduced in 2020 by DS. The company's first vehicle to be marketed to both Europe and Asia but assembled solely in China, the DS 9 serves as the flagship DS luxury-premium line, slotted above the DS 3, DS 4 and the DS 7 Crossback in size.

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.{{cite web|url= https://www.tdg.ch/suisse/conseil-federal-interdit-manifestations-mille-personnes/story/19591038|title=Le Salon de l'automobile de Genève est annulé | trans-title = The Geneva Motor Show is cancelled | language = fr | first = Virginie | last = Lenk | date=28 February 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200327231100/https://www.tdg.ch/suisse/conseil-federal-interdit-manifestations-mille-personnes/story/19591038|archive-date=27 March 2020|url-status=dead}} 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.{{cite web | title = La berline DS8 aperçue pour la première fois | trans-title = The DS8 sedan sighted for the first time | language = fr | url= https://www.caradisiac.com/la-berline-ds8-apercue-pour-la-premiere-fois-173669.htm | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200220002412/https://www.caradisiac.com/la-berline-ds8-apercue-pour-la-premiere-fois-173669.htm | archive-date = 2020-02-20 | first = Florent | last = Ferrière | work = Caradisiac | date = 13 January 2019}}
