About the DS 8 FWD
The DS N°8 FWD is DS Automobiles’ flagship all-electric fastback SUV, combining French luxury, advanced aerodynamics and exceptional long-range efficiency. Built on Stellantis’ next-generation EV platform, the N°8 is designed to compete with premium electric models from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz while offering a distinctive focus on comfort, craftsmanship and design.
Powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 245 hp (180 kW) and 345 Nm of torque, the N°8 FWD delivers smooth and refined performance. The front-wheel-drive powertrain accelerates from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 7.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 118 mph (190 km/h).
The standout feature is its impressive battery and efficiency package. The N°8 FWD Long Range uses a 97.2 kWh usable battery (101 kWh gross) and offers up to 471 miles (758 km) WLTP range, making it one of the longest-range electric vehicles available in Europe. Its highly aerodynamic body and low energy consumption contribute significantly to this achievement.
Charging is supported at up to 160 kW DC rapid charging, allowing substantial range recovery during longer journeys. An 11 kW AC onboard charger is fitted as standard for home and workplace charging. Battery preconditioning and Plug & Charge functionality are also supported.
Inside, the N°8 showcases DS Automobiles’ luxury-focused design philosophy with premium materials, advanced digital displays and exceptional comfort. The spacious five-seat cabin is complemented by a generous 620-litre boot, making it practical as well as luxurious.
The DS N°8 FWD is aimed at drivers seeking maximum efficiency and long-distance capability without sacrificing premium comfort. It offers a distinctive alternative to vehicles such as the Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron, Polestar 4 and BMW i5 Touring.
