DS N°8
EXTERIOR DESIGN
TIMELESS & AVANT-GARDE
With its sleek and clean silhouette, DS N°8 combines fluidity, elegance and precision. The sensual and refined surfaces of the sides contrast with the crafted and sharp lines of the front and rear, for a design that is both futuristic and timeless.
BI-TONE: EXPERTISE IN COLOUR
A two-coloured bonnet, inspired by the DS AERO SPORT LOUNGE concept, hides a feat of technology that perfectly combines tradition and innovation. With the Paintjet process, the solid coloured lacquer provides a perfect finish without the need for solvents or curing for peak sustainability. This technology enhances the vehicle’s elegance while conjuring up the legacy of the greatest luxury cars past and present, a first-class masterpiece.
AEROPLANE LINES
Front and back, this avant-garde and electric SUV coupé has been specially designed to maximise its aerodynamic performance and ease the passage of air. The innovative front features active air flaps that are shaped like shafts of light guiding the air flow. The sides are flowing and sculpted without edges. The door handles are flush at the front and hidden in the windows at the rear. Specifically developed for this model, the wheels also have a sleek, aerodynamic design, for an overall reduction in wheel drag and increased performance.
INTERIOR DESIGN
ROM TECHNOLOGY COCOON TO UNPARALLELED COMFORT
Inspired by the DS E-TENSE PERFORMANCE concept car, the V-shaped vertical LED light signature visually places the car on the road and asserts its width and status by highlighting electrification and technology.
It is crowned by 8 diamond-shaped LEDs aligned horizontally, taking the shape of the famous “Clous de Paris” embossed inserts, echoing the interior trim. The front is enhanced by the DS LUMINASCREEN grille which lights up and comes alive with shafts of light, like so many entrancing shooting stars.
At the rear, three-dimensional lights in a line with scale-effect patterns display a spectacular light that makes DS N°8 so individual and recognisable every time it passes by. These shafts of light enable airflow to be improved.
Travel in light and beauty
The light presentation inside DS N°8 creates a serene and soothing ambience. The subtly arranged play of light highlights the ergonomic curves and textures of the space. Each beam of light is carefully positioned to evoke visual poetry, transforming the environment into a living painting where every detail contributes to a harmonious and mesmerising atmosphere. Sensual and innovative, the X-format steering wheel is part of the brand’s development by offering new grip zones that enhance comfort and driving feel.
Nappa Leather Setting
This warm setting stands out through the premium Nappa leather with vegetable tanning from olive leaves. It is enhanced by Light Gold edging and brushed aluminium trim with golden highlights. Designed to enhance every detail in a timeless cocoon, Nappa leather adorns the watchstrap finish seats, the dashboard and the door trims. The stitching on the leather door armrests and dashboard is carried out using the ‘Point Perle’ technique, a genuine DS Automobiles signature.
FIRST CLASS COMFORT
DS N°8 pushes the boundaries of comfort to offer peak well-being whatever the season. The high level of thermal comfort provides a unique experience through features that efficiently set the interior temperature such as a heated steering wheel, neck warmer, heated, cooled and massaging seats, as well as a panoramic glass roof that floods the cockpit with natural light.
DS N°8 AUDIO & SYSTEM
UNPARALLELED SILENCE AND TRANQUILITY
DS N°8 redefines the art of soundproofing to deliver an exceptional driving experience, where the quiet cockpit becomes a cocoon of tranquillity. Through state-of-the-art technology and meticulous design, including its high-performance laminated glass, each passenger is wrapped in a peaceful setting, protected from external noise, for unparalleled acoustic comfort.
ELECTRA 3D by FOCAL
For total immersion in sound, this 14-speaker system, complemented by a 690W amplifier, offers exceptional performance. Co-developed with FOCAL, each loudspeaker blends harmoniously into the aluminium door trim. Through this technology, the cockpit is turned into a real auditorium where three-dimensional sound creates an enveloping and immersive musical experience.
An augmented experience
Fitted with the DS IRIS SYSTEM, DS N°8 elevates the driving experience to a new level of interaction and connectivity. On the dashboard, the large 16-inch screen stands out through its slim and airy look, almost appearing to float in the cabin. At the heart of a range of innovative connected services, DS IRIS SYSTEM includes advanced features such as real-time navigation, media management and dedicated apps, to combine comfort, safety and driving enjoyment.
DS IRIS System offers you the services of ChatGPT
Already particularly intuitive and responsive, DS IRIS SYSTEM voice recognition system integrates SoundHound Artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT API.
The new feature by DS Automobiles utilizes the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence with SoundHound’s Chat AI platform, which integrates several knowledge domains, combined with the most cutting-edge large language models like ChatGPT API to deliver more timely and comprehensive responses than the previous DS IRIS Voice recognition System.
