The Numero 9 DS is a huge sedan with a wheelbase of 3 metres and dimensions of 4.93 metres long, 1.94 metres wide, and 1.27 metres high.

It debuts the three-dimensional chrome grille that extends into the headlights, which will eventually be known as "DS Wings." It also has a floating pavilion with a chrome strip on which the filigree DS frame is etched, as well as side windows that blend into the back window. The interior is obscured by the use of opaque windows.
