YOU MUST SEE THIS SURPRISING NEW LUXURY FLAGSHIP OF THE FRENCH CAR INDUSTRY! DS N°8 REVEAL (DS8)

EV Channels Review

The DS N°8 (DS8) is presented as the new flagship of the French automotive industry, aiming for a unique and luxurious position in the market. The reviewer highlights its distinctive exterior design, particularly the illuminated grille and logo on higher trims, and the innovative two-tone paint application. Inside, the cabin impresses with extensive use of Alcantara, a unique X-shaped steering wheel, and a large infotainment screen, though some capacitive controls are noted as less intuitive. The vehicle offers a choice of battery sizes (74 kWh and 97 kWh) with claimed ranges up to 700 km, and performance options including a 350 hp AWD variant. The adaptive suspension with road scanning is a standard feature, enhancing ride comfort. Practicality is addressed with a 620-liter fastback trunk, but the absence of a frunk and some less premium-feeling elements from Stellantis parts bin are noted. Pricing starts below €60,000, reaching up to €85,000 for top trims, positioning it as a premium offering that challenges established German brands with its bold design and material choices.
