DS Automobiles is a French premium brand, spun off from Citroen in 2014. DS positions itself as the group's premium arm and a French rival to Audi and BMW. The DS range comprises premium crossovers and saloons. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis. High-output Citroen petrol engines are rare, as the focus is on the family segment.

ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. On older-generation Citroens, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without a bench. The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files. High-output Citroens are rare, as the core segment is low and mid.
