The new DS 8 electric SUV has been revealed for the first time

The DS brand, known as a subsidiary of PSA (Peugeot-Citroen), has released the first images of the luxury and option-packed SUV DS 8.

In its latest ambition, France‘s DS has introduced a luxury electric SUV with a coupe-like design. The DS 8 car will be known as the symbol of all-electric products of this brand and can well depict the goals of this French company. In this section of the car news, we will publish the published pictures and details of this DS masterpiece.

Introducing the DS SUV, admirable and luxurious

If we take a look at the history of the DS brand, we will realize that this luxury company is the result of different and matured thinking of two companies, Peugeot and Citroen. This new brand was established in 2009 with the aim of producing beautiful, luxurious and versatile products. In fact, the lack of attractive and competitive products with other European luxury cars made PSA think of establishing this brand.

The name of this brand is a combination of the words “Different Spirit” and “Distinctive Series” and it is somehow adapted from the legendary Citroen DS sedan that was produced from 1955 to 1976.

In the first published images of the DS 8 SUV, we see the T-shaped design of the full LED front lights, which continuously includes all the lighting components of the front. A narrow black horizontal strip is placed between the lights and the DS logo is also placed in the center of the black front window of the car.

The rear view of the car is also designed to match the front part and has the same T-shaped element as the headlight. In terms of the design language and the slope of the roof in the rear column, it has a lot of similarities between this car and the Citroen C5 X and Peugeot 408 models, but it has a special appearance in the design of the sides with distinct horizontal lines.

In the side view, retractable front door handles and hidden rear door handles along with aerodynamic rims with an attractive and unique design have given DS 8 a beautiful and special look.

DS8 technical specifications

This electric SUV is designed based on Peugeot-Citroen’s STLA Medium platform. This platform was introduced for the first time in the third generation Peugeot 3008 crossover, and it is a document of the evolution of Peugeot products to compete with other prominent car manufacturers in this field. There is a long time left until the official unveiling of the DS 8 SUV, and the release of official and complete information about this car has been postponed to the future.

According to published information, the range of this car will be up to 750 km based on the WLTP standard. Also, the coefficient of air resistance (CX) will be equal to 0.24, which makes this attractive product one of the most aerodynamic electric SUVs in Europe. According to some foreign sources, the new DS product will be one of the smartest and most optional electric cars made in Europe while providing an exemplary appearance.

The official unveiling of DS 8 will be done by the end of this year. Meanwhile, DS recently made headlines with the introduction of the SM Tribute coupe concept, which is slated to become a production model with a Maserati-built V6 engine.
