DS 8 Specs, Electric Power & Dimensions (from 2024) — First Generation
The DS 8 First Generation is a large electric liftback that pairs a low, sleek body with a roomy cabin, aiming for quiet, effortless progress rather than sporting drama.
DS 8 horsepower comes entirely from electric motors, so there is no engine note to judge, only instant pull from a standstill. The AT version pairs a single-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, using a second motor on the rear axle for surer traction in rain or snow.
DS 8 battery capacity determines how far you travel between stops, and the AT relies on a lithium-ion pack under the floor. Expect real-world range to drop in cold weather or at motorway speeds; home charging overnight covers daily use, while fast public charging suits longer trips.
