DS No. 8

The DS No. 8, styled DS N°8, is a battery electric crossover SUV with a sloping roofline from DS Automobiles, unveiled on 12 December 2024 with production starting in Melfi, Italy in April 2025. It is the first model to use the brand's new numbered naming strategy, in which the number is carried as a separate badge next to the DS Automobiles emblem. DS says the sloped body, flush door handles and low roofline add about 60 km of electric range. The cabin has an X-shaped steering wheel, a 16-inch touchscreen, eight colour ambient lighting and seats finished in watchstrap leather, and the DS Drive Assist 2.0 system offers semi-autonomous driving between 47 and 140 km/h. A modified armoured N°8 served as the French presidential car at the 8 May armistice celebrations, the first electric car used by a French head of state.
