DS Automobiles Ireland has marked a significant milestone with the debut here of two new models: the all-new DS No8 flagship and the highly-anticipated DS No4 premium hatchback.

The new DS No8 is a bold new chapter for the brand as its flagship 100% electric SUV coupe. It combines striking design with long-range capability, it offers up to 750km (WLTP), placing it among the leaders in electric mobility.

It is defined by the aerodynamic silhouette (Cd 0.24), that delivers both efficiency and presence. Signature elements such as the DS LUMINASCREEN grille and DS LIGHTBLADE lighting create a distinctive identity; while flush door handles and flowing lines enhance its modern design.

Inside, the cabin offers a serene, high-end environment crafted with premium materials including Nappa leather and Alcantara. Comfort is prioritised through heated, cooled and massaging seats, special DS neck warmer system for added comfort in colder conditions, a panoramic glass roof for extra light, and 620 litres of boot capacity.

A fully digital cockpit features a 16-inch central touchscreen, 12.25-inch instrument cluster, and an extended heads-up display, powered by the DS IRIS infotainment system make life on the inside even more luxurious than the norm.

DS No8 is available with three fully electric powertrains: FWD 230hp (Standard Range) – up to 550km, FWD 245hp (Long Range) – up to 750km and AWD 350hp (Long Range) – with enhanced performance and traction.

Fast charging allows up to 200km of range in just 10 minutes, with a 20–80% charge achievable in approximately 27 minutes.

Technologies including DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0, EV Routing and DS ACTIVE SCAN SUSPENSION ensure a smooth, intelligent and refined driving experience across Irish road conditions.

Prices in Ireland for the DS No8 Pallas grade start at €56,395 rising to €64,995 for the long-range version. The ÉTOILE grade starts at €62,995 rising to €73,994 for the top-of-range AWD model.

Joining the range too is the new DS No4, a premium compact hatchback that blends elegance, advanced technology and electrified efficiency.

The cabin is another winner that reflects DS Automobiles’ craftsmanship, with signature details such as pearl stitching, Clous de Paris finishes and high-quality materials throughout.

Spacious and practical, DS No4 offers up to 430 litres of boot space (Hybrid), generous cabin space with excellent rear comfort and a digital cockpit with a 10.25-inch display and DS IRIS infotainment system

The Mild Hybrid (145hp) version with up to 50% electric driving in urban conditions does not require external charging and likely to be the most popular with buyers.

Prices here start at €35,995 for the Pallas hybrid model and the ÉTOILE Hybrid costing €42,995. The E-TENSE Electric comes in at €49,870 (after State subsidies).
