Who owns Europe's car brands: the five groups that hold most of them, the icons now controlled from China, India and Abu Dhabi, and the same map sorted by country.
Twelve European badges whose nationality does not match their ownership: Cupra, Vauxhall, DS, Opel, Lancia, Alpine, Abarth, MG, Ebro, DR Automobiles, smart and Leapmotor. Some are Spanish or British names owned in Germany or the Netherlands, some are revived badges on Chinese hardware, and several are assembled in a third country again.
DS Automobiles was spun off from Citroën’s premium DS line in 2014, taking its name from the original 1955 Citroën DS. It operates as a standalone marque within the PSA/Stellantis group, positioned above sister brands Citroën and Peugeot as the group’s premium offering in Europe.
The lineup centers on premium hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs, including the DS 3, DS 4 and DS 9, with the DS N°7 SUV replacing the previous DS 7 as the brand’s key European model. DS cars share platforms and powertrains with other Stellantis brands while emphasizing distinct French design language, premium interior materials and, on flagship models, a revival of Citroën’s historic hydropneumatic suspension. DS does not sell in North America, focusing instead on European markets.
