Cx 0.24: THE BEST AERODYNAMICS IN ITS CLASS

 

LONG RANGE BATTERY PRODUCED IN FRANCE

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.

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.

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.

FROM 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.

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.
