DS No8 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The DS No8 went on sale in the UK in 2025. It combines elements of an SUV and fastback, giving it a lower, more streamlined profile than a conventional large SUV. It is aimed at drivers considering luxury electric models from established premium manufacturers, placing it alongside models like the BMW iX and Audi Q8 e-tron.

The No8 is exclusively electric and is available with 74kWh and 97.2kWh batteries. Front-wheel-drive versions prioritise range, while the most powerful model adds a second electric motor and all-wheel drive. The Long Range model can travel up to 466 miles on the WLTP cycle, making range one of the No8’s key selling points.

Its combination of long-distance electric range, distinctive French design and luxury-focused five-seat cabin makes the DS No8 relevant to both DS No8 business lease and DS No8 personal lease customers looking beyond more established premium EVs.

The AWD Long Range adds a second motor for four-wheel drive, producing 350bhp, reaching 62mph in 5.4 seconds, and offering up to 427 miles WLTP.

DC rapid charging is available at up to 160kW, while DS states that up to 124 miles of range can be recovered in around 10 minutes at a suitable rapid charger. This gives Long Range drivers more flexibility when covering higher annual mileages or regular motorway journeys.
