DS N8 - REVEALING THE "ÉTOILE" & "PALLACE" TRIMS!

EV Channels Review

The DS N°8 is presented as the pinnacle of French automotive luxury, aiming to compete with established premium brands. The review highlights its unique exterior design, particularly the illuminated grille and DS logo on higher trims like the 'étoile' and 'Pallace'. Inside, the N°8 impresses with extensive use of Alcantara, a distinctive X-shaped steering wheel, and innovative features like an optional neck heater in a non-convertible. The reviewer praises the build quality and material choices, noting that DS has successfully created a standalone identity within the Stellantis group. However, the infotainment system is described as not the quickest, and some practical aspects, like cup holder accessibility, could be improved. Pricing starts below €60,000, but can reach up to €85,000 with all options, positioning it as a significant investment. The reviewer questions whether it can sway customers from German premium brands despite its unique approach.
