The DR 70 is the name used for DR’s 7.0, a large SUV positioned near the top of the Italian marque’s range. With a roomy SUV body, it is aimed at drivers who want a family car with a more substantial footprint. DR Automobiles is an Italian company that sells vehicles under several marques, including DR and EVO.
The model appeared in European Union registration figures in 2023. No generation name or generation years are specified here, so it is best described by its model name and that recorded period.
Engine and power
The EU version was a 1.5-litre LPG model producing 118 kW (160 PS). LPG is liquefied petroleum gas, used as an alternative fuel in compatible combustion engines. The registration figures identify this as the model’s sole listed version for the year.
Fuel consumption and CO₂
The available consumption figure is 8 L/100 km on the WLTP test, but it is explicitly attached to petrol, diesel and hybrid versions. It should not be presented as the LPG DR 70’s consumption figure. No CO₂ value is stated for this LPG model. WLTP is the European test procedure; US EPA and Canadian 5-cycle ratings use different procedures and are not directly interchangeable.
Where was it sold?
Official EU registration figures show 295 registrations for the DR 70 in 2023.
