Uploaded 3 months ago by AutoWeek

Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video:

The DS Numero 8 is a unique EV that blends coupe, SUV, and EV elements with a large, 612-liter, trunk. The trunk has a false floor that reduces cargo area; however, the trunk floor itself is 1.16 meters long. The car has a long wheelbase for a roomy back seat.
The head room is limited in the backseat of the coupe-like SUV.
The interior, like the exterior, is distinct, and the layout is unique. The navigation and some buttons seem outdated, resembling older Peugeot and Citroen models.
The review notes the steering wheel design looks odd, yet it all appears well-finished.
The steering lacks feedback, although the ride is smooth on straight roads.
There are three electric powertrain options.
The standard front wheel drive variant is 230 pk with a burst to 260 pk.
The front wheel drive long range variant is 245 pk with a burst to 280 pk
The all-wheel-drive powertrain is 350 pk.
The standard variant provides an action radius of about 550 km, or 342 miles. The front-wheel-drive Long Range provides about 750 kilometers, or 466 miles.
It charges at 11 kW on AC, with an optional 22 kW upgrade. DC fast charging is 160 kW, not impressive.
It does not stand out in a competitive luxury EV market.
