IT'S A CAUSE TO CELEBR-8

WE RECENTLY had the chance to drive the all-new DS N°8 with DS Automobiles in the stunning Vallée de Joux in Switzerland, a region famous for its world-class watchmakers and beautiful, winding roads.

The DS N°8 is a fully electric SUV coupé designed to blend French luxury with clever design. It's based on the DS Aero Sport Lounge concept and carries that same bold, sleek look. Long, wide, and low-slung, it has real road presence while still offering plenty of interior space and comfort.

The two main trim levels coming to Ireland are Pallas and Etoile. Pallas comes well-equipped with navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, climate control, ambient lighting, and parking sensors.

MODERN

Etoile adds extras like 360-degree cameras, a power tailgate, the extended head-up display and more advanced driving aids.

The first thing that grabs your attention walking towards the vehicle is the illuminated Luminascreen grille, flanked by adaptive LED headlights that automatically adjust depending on traffic.

You'll also notice vertical light details at both the front and rear, which give the car a clean and modern look. Everything about the shape is designed to cut through the air efficiently, no doubt helping to extend its electric range.
