The new DS N°8 is a game-changer for the electric car market. I had the chance to take it for a spin and see how it handles on the road.
With a range of up to 750 km, this car is perfect for long road trips. The DS N°8 has a sleek design, with a length of 4.82 m, a width of 1.90 m, and a height of 1.58 m. The reduced ground clearance of 15.5 cm improves airflow and reduces fuel consumption.
The car’s interior is just as impressive, with high-quality materials and plenty of storage space. There are two screens: a 12.25-inch HD instrument panel and a 16-inch central screen that provides access to various functions. The DS N°8 also features a state-of-the-art sound system, the ELECTRA 3D, developed in partnership with FOCAL.
When it comes to performance, the DS N°8 has three electric motor options: FWD 230 cv, FWD Long Range 245 cv, and AWD Long Range 350 cv. The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds in the AWD Long Range version.
One of the standout features of the DS N°8 is its ability to charge quickly. The Long Range battery provides up to 160 kW in direct current, allowing for 200 km of range to be recovered in just 10 minutes. The car also has an EV Routing system that simplifies trip planning and reduces range anxiety.
The DS N°8 is available in two trim levels: PALLAS and ETOILE. Prices start at €59,000 for the FWD PALLAS version and go up to €75,600 for the AWD Long Range ETOILE version.
Overall, the DS N°8 is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a luxurious and technologically advanced electric car. Its impressive range, sleek design, and state-of-the-art features make it a top contender in the electric car market.
