DS Automobiles has spoon fed us a bit more information about the modernized DS they will be revealing to the public before year end.
Images of the interior show an austere layout with a center screen and an unusual four-spoke wheel, quite a variation from the single-spoke of the original DS.
Night-time lighting illuminates the entire dash fascia behind the screen and speakers in the doors positioned just below the window ledges where the driver would be looking at the rear view side mirrors.
It was also announced that it will be called the N°8. “N°” is a nod to the French language, as it represents the usual way of writing “number” in French, embodying an elegance and timelessness that transcends languages. “8” is a new number for DS Automobiles. Its shape, close to the infinity sign, is associated with balance and serenity, which combine to form a harmonious whole. To maintain the Brand’s identity, the rear of the car will sport the “N°8” signature supplemented by “DS AUTOMOBILES”.
N°8 is 100% electric with a claimed range of 750 km. The first announcement of the vehicle can be found here: https://citroenvie.com/the-promise-of-a-new-ds/.
