About the DS Automobiles N°8
The DS N°8 is the flagship of the DS Automobiles electric range, a large premium SUV built on the STLA Medium platform with a substantial 97 kWh NMC battery. It delivers a WLTP range of up to 430 miles, positioning it among the longest-range EVs available in Europe.
As the brand's halo model, the N°8 showcases DS's most ambitious interior work — hand-stitched leather, watchmaker-inspired detailing, and a focus on acoustic comfort that aims to rival the likes of the BMW iX and Genesis GV70. The ride quality benefits from adaptive damping and careful noise insulation.
With 272 bhp and DC charging at up to 160 kW, performance and practicality are well-covered. The large battery does add weight, but the N°8's size absorbs it gracefully. The real challenge for DS is persuading buyers to spend flagship money on a brand that still lacks the recognition of its German and Korean competitors. For those willing to look beyond the badge, it offers genuine luxury at a competitive price.
What the press thinks
The press is impressed by the N°8's range and interior ambition. The 430-mile WLTP figure and luxurious cabin are headline attractions. Questions persist about DS brand credibility at this price point, and some reviewers note the 160 kW charging speed is conservative for a flagship.
