The DS N°8 Electric Flagship signals a bold new chapter for DS Automobiles. As the brand’s first 100% electric model, the DS N°8 blends French design flair, aerodynamic innovation, and luxury craftsmanship. From the moment it appears, it’s clear this car was made for more than just the road, it was crafted for the Art of Travel.
A New Identity for a New Era
DS N°8 is more than a new model; it’s the beginning of a new naming strategy. Using “N°” as a nod to French elegance, the number 8 also evokes balance and infinity. With a sculpted profile and bold branding at the rear, this electric SUV coupe sets a new tone for DS Automobiles’ future.
Designed Around Aero-Efficiency
Aerodynamic performance guided every curve of the DS N°8. Its Cx of 0.24 and SCx of 0.64 allow for increased range without compromising elegance. The car’s tapering silhouette, flush door handles, and unique light elements like the DS LIGHTBLADE reduce drag and make a visual statement.
Advanced features such as controlled air intakes, integrated spoiler shaping, and special wheel designs further improve efficiency. Each aerodynamic enhancement contributes measurable gains in real-world range.
Performance, Power, and Range
Built on the STLA Medium platform, the DS N°8 is available in three electric drivetrains: 230 hp, 245 hp, and 350 hp with AWD. The high-capacity 97.2 kWh battery allows the FWD Long Range version to travel up to 750 km WLTP on a single charge.
Fast charging up to 160 kW enables a 200 km top-up in just 10 minutes. The battery preconditioning system ensures efficient charging even in varying climates. DS N°8 also supports regenerative braking with paddle-adjustable intensity and offers One-Pedal driving.
Interior Craftsmanship and Comfort
The cabin of the DS N°8 redefines French luxury. High-quality materials like brushed aluminium, Alcantara®, and Nappa leather meet sustainable craftsmanship with recycled fabrics and olive leaf tanning. The floating double-decker center console and illuminated “DS Neck Warmer” add signature French touches.
Massaging, heated, and cooled seats come standard, as does exceptional rear passenger comfort. Light plays a central role too, with Inner LIGHTBLADE elements and ambient illumination enhancing every journey.
Technology and Digital Serenity
The DS N°8 features a 16-inch central touchscreen and the DS IRIS SYSTEM 2.0, offering voice control, personalisation, and access to connected services. The system integrates ChatGPT for smart travel assistance and embedded EV routing to plan optimal charging.
A dynamic 10.25-inch driver display, Extended Head-Up Display, and night vision enhance safety and visibility. With immersive sound from the Focal Electra® system and DS PIXELVISION adaptive lighting, every drive feels cinematic.
Designed for the Future of Travel
Beyond style and comfort, DS N°8 is practical. Its 620-litre boot, panoramic thermal glass roof, and digital rearview mirror add to its functionality. Safety features include DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0, Driver Attention Alert, and Active Lane Change Assist.
With the CONNECT ONE and CONNECT PLUS packs, owners enjoy services like remote charging, OTA updates, and EV route planning via the MyDS app. The vehicle even supports Plug & Charge for seamless public charging experiences.
Summary
The DS N°8 Electric Flagship offers a remarkable blend of design, intelligence, and sustainable power. It marks a confident step forward for DS Automobiles, one that redefines what electric luxury should feel like. Crafted with French finesse and engineered for the modern world, DS N°8 delivers on every level.
