DS Automobiles pays tribute to the visionary genius of Jules Verne with an exclusive collection that transforms every journey into a poetic and avant-garde experience.
Inspired by the universe of the author who redefined the imaginary of extraordinary travel, the new JULES VERNE Collection pays a refined tribute to the spirit of adventure and innovation. Each model, customized in sophisticated shades of blue — a symbol of mystery, depth and dreaminess — becomes an invitation to explore with elegance and courage.
Like a contemporary explorer, the leader of a model from the JULES VERNE Collection steps into a unique universe, where French luxury, avant-garde design and cutting-edge technology meet on a memorable journey, as if taken from the pages of the Nantes-born author’s novels.
“Connecting DS Automobiles with the world of Jules Verne means uniting today’s French innovation and elegance with the visionary imagination of the 19th century, around a common philosophy: the avant-garde spirit. If Jules Verne were alive today, he would surely be fascinated by the refinement of materials, the tranquility of modern driving and our cutting-edge technologies. The journey into the world of DS begins exactly where he dreamed of going — in a future defined by excellence,” says Xavier PEUGEOT, CEO DS Automobiles.
Common values: Jules Verne & DS Automobiles
Vision, courage, passion for exploration — Jules Verne shaped the imagination of millions of readers, combining science with poetry and technology with style. The same values underpin the philosophy of DS Automobiles, which cultivates the French art of travel — L’Art du Voyage — with bold elegance and subtle but undeniable luxury.
“After the tribute paid to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, in 2024, the JULES VERNE Collection reaffirms our attachment to French cultural heritage. The DS models, inspired by four of the writer’s iconic works, also become objects of craftsmanship, a sign of our distinct DNA,” said Thierry METROZ, DS Automobiles Design Director.

DS 3 – The Underwater World | Inspired by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
A creation that evokes the mystery of the abyss and the sophistication of underwater travel, the DS 3 JULES VERNE is a tribute to the iconic Nautilus. Its body in Bleu Nuit — deep, enigmatic, with satin reflections — is complemented by Noir Onyx accents and 18-inch Nice wheels, reminiscent of the silhouette of an elegant submersible.
Inside, the Galet Grey leather details and fine textures outline an atmosphere of an aristocratic underwater salon. You experience each trip as a silent incursion into a world forgotten by time, where elegance and technology form an irresistible whole.
DS N°4 – The metropolis of the future | Inspired by Paris in the twentieth century
Futuristic vision and urban sophistication – DS N°4 JULES VERNE reinterprets the writer’s vision of a utopian Paris. The body’s Gris Laqué color, with Noir Onyx accents, captures the light in a subtle play between modernity and mystery, like a metropolis floating in time.
The interior proposes a sober but extremely refined ambience: the Noir Basalte leather chairs are precisely sculpted, evoking the functional and elegant furniture of a visionary scientist’s office. Assistance and connectivity technologies are discreetly but firmly integrated into a cabin geared towards pure innovation.
DS 7 – Continental Expedition | Inspired by Five Weeks in the Balloon
Elegant and imposing, the DS 7 JULES VERNE evokes the feeling of an aristocratic expedition through untamed landscapes. The Bleu Saphir shade with satin reflections reinterprets the African sky described by Verne, while the 19-inch TOKYO wheels in Noir Onyx finish emphasize its noble and adventurous posture.
The interior is a bow to the luxury of the explorers of the golden age: Galet Gray leather, refined textures and carefully crafted details. The DS 7 thus becomes a veritable aerial gondola — quiet, comfortable and fascinatingly modern.
DS N°8 – Travelling around the world | Inspired by Around the Earth in 80 Days
Grand and elegant, the DS N°8 JULES VERNE is the embodiment of the ideal journey – one that transcends geographical and aesthetic boundaries. The body in Gris Laqué, the 19-inch Nice wheels in Noir Onyx and the DS signature discreetly integrated into the bonnet define an aristocratic presence.
The cabin inspires perfect Parisian luxury: Noir Basalte leather seats, fine stitching, subtle metallic details. Every detail evokes the rigor and refinement of Phileas Fogg — a gentleman traveling in the modern era, who travels the world in absolute comfort, without losing touch with elegance.
A collection for those who are not satisfied with the road already traveled
The DS Automobiles – JULES VERNE collection is more than a design exercise: it is an invitation to refined exploration. Each model combines cutting-edge technology with artisanal details, evoking the courage, vision and elegance of the modern hero. Like the custom yachts in the Yacht Expert portfolio, these automobiles are created for those who refuse the conventional and dare to turn every trip into a statement of style and character.
