Technology & Innovation
The next-generation DS LUMINASCREEN & DS LIGHTBLADE lighting system combine advanced LED technology with distinctive design. The DS LUMINASCREEN grille is illuminated with blades of light and a logo that lights up at every interaction (eg. approaching the vehicle, starting up), emphasising the visual identity while contributing to aerodynamic efficiency. The full LED headlamps at the front and the vertical DS LIGHTBLADE lights at the rear increase visibility (seen by pedestrians at 300 m) and make the car instantly recognisable at night.
In addition, the DS PIXELVISION smart headlamps, which consist of more intense illumination in the centre of the main beam, automatically adjust the beam according to speed and driving conditions, for optimised and safe illumination up to 520 m with the High Beam Boost function.

Yes.
Despite its premium SUV size (4.82 m), N°8 is surprisingly agile and gives peace of mind whilst manoeuvring due to its in-car innovations:
Digital Rearview Mirror: This system revolutionises rear visibility. Using a high-definition camera, it projects a wide, crystal-clear image directly into your rearview mirror, eliminating visual obstacles such as headrests, passengers, or a loaded boot. You're in control of your surroundings with perfect clarity, even at night.
DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0: Much more than just motorway driving assistance, this system supports the driver in complex driving phases. It allows you to manage parking approaches with great precision, regulating speed and trajectory with a seamlessness that simplifies positioning the vehicle.
DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION: This exclusive technology scans for irregularities in the road surface (curbs, cobblestones or speed bumps) via a camera to instantly adjust the suspension. The result: you approach car park entrances and urban areas with absolute smoothness, maintaining passenger comfort and driving precision.
Technology & Support
DS IRIS SYSTEM: multimedia system with central touchscreen (16-inch), connected navigation with Apple Carplay® & Android Auto®, dynamic route planner with visualisation of charging point availability, Over The Air updates and smartphone integration.
Advanced driving aids: Adaptive Cruise Control Stop & Go, Adaptive Cruise Control, DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0 with semi-automatic lane change, multiple cameras and radars.
Comfort & design
Exterior design indicated by a unique light signature with DS LUMINASCREEN grille and three-dimensional lights.
Quiet interior with high-quality sound insulation (laminated front/rear glass).
Electra 3D by FOCAL, 14 speakers/690W audio system for an immersive sound experience.
Meticulous interior finishes featuring vegetable-tanned Nappa leather with watchstrap upholstery, Alcantara®, cooled/heated/massaging seats as well as multiple opportunities for personalisation.
Extra safety and comfort

Driver assistance package and options such as the VISION 360 system, the DS NIGHT VISION (infrared camera) or driver fatigue/inattention detection.
>Discover all the technologies of N°8
1. A revolutionary light signature
DS LUMINASCREEN: Unlike a traditional grille, the front incorporates backlit display technology capable of diffusing graphic patterns and animating the logo as the driver approaches.
DS LIGHTBLADES: Ultra-thin LED blades that frame the front, increasing the car's visibility by up to 300 m for pedestrians while asserting a recognisable nighttime silhouette.
DS PIXEL LED VISION 3.0: These next-generation adaptive headlamps allow you to drive with main beam at all times. They analyse the road and precisely "turn off" the segments of light that could dazzle other road users, while illuminating up to 500 m ahead thanks to the High Beam Boost mode.
2. Chassis and Dynamic Comfort
DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION: This is the signature innovation of DS comfort. A high-speed camera placed behind the windscreen scans imperfections in the road (potholes, speed bumps etc...) in real time. The system instantly adjusts the firmness of each damper independently to provide a "magic carpet" effect.
3. Digital Experience and Artificial Intelligence
DS IRIS SYSTEM with ChatGPT: The multimedia interface on a 16-inch HD screen is controlled by an intelligent voice assistant. With the integration of generative artificial intelligence (ChatGPT), the driver can hold a natural conversation, ask for travel tips or create stories for their children during the journey.
DS EXTENDED HEAD UP DISPLAY: This head-up display system projects navigation information, speed and driving aids directly onto the road at a visual distance of 4 metres, giving the impression that the direction arrows are drawn on the road.
4. Next Generation Endurance and Energy
97.2 kWh Long Range Battery: Exclusive in this segment allowing a record range of up to 466 miles (WLTP).
160 kW Ultra-Fast Charging: through an advanced thermal management system, N°8 can recover up to 124 miles of range in just 10 minutes using a high-power charging point.
V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) technology: The car can become a source of energy to power external devices (e-bikes, camping equipment etc...), turning the vehicle into a mobile energy reserve.
5. Safety and Night Vision
DS NIGHT VISION: A thermal imaging camera in the radiator grille detects the presence of pedestrians or animals on the road up to 100 metres away, well beyond the range of the headlights, and alerts the driver via the digital instrument cluster.
The ONE-PEDAL mode simplifies electric driving.
It allows you to control deceleration by releasing the accelerator, the vehicle slows down to a complete stop through regenerative braking.
Your stops become smoother and more natural in the city.
Comfort & equipment
DS N°8 offers up to 620 litres of boot space beneath the parcel shelf, ideal for everyday use. With the rear seats folded, capacity expands to 1,553 litres, giving you the flexibility for longer trips or larger loads. For added convenience, a hands-free powered tailgate makes accessing the boot effortless — even when your hands are full.
DS N°8 measures 4.82 m in length, 1.90 m in width and 1.58 m in height, giving it a confident road presence.
Its long 2.90 m wheelbase creates generous rear legroom, enhancing comfort for passengers on every journey.
The result is a spacious, well-balanced design that delivers the versatility you'd expect from a premium SUV — without compromising on elegance or ease of use.
N°8 stands out with a set of signature equipment:
- A range of up to 466 miles.
- Bright and distinctive light signature thanks to its DS LUMINASCREEN & DS LIGHTBLADE LED headlights.
- A cabin offering wide expanses of high-quality materials such as vegetable-tanned Nappa leather with watchstrap upholstery, Alacantara®, or brushed or corked aluminum.
