Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The DS N°8 AWD Long Range delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 257 kW (349 hp / 345 bhp) and a total torque of 345 Nm (255 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 190 km/h (118 mph), making it competitive within its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 101.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 97.2 kWh, providing a 3.8 kWh buffer (3.8%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 377 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.

This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 688 to 664 km (428-413 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.1 kWh/100 km for the base model and 14.6 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 688 km (428 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.1 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 160 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 107 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 44 minutes with an average charging speed of 94 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 6% to 47%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 104 kW, with each charging session taking about 23 minutes and 5 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 38 minutes, needing three charging stops from 5% to 51%, totaling 78 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 8 hours and 50 minutes with a standard home setup.
