DS Electric No. 8: the base price dropping sharply, but...

DS has reduced the base price of the N°8 from 59,200 euros to 46,990 euros. Additional discounts and the CEE bonus further bring the price below 40,000 euros!

Launched in 2025, DS’s new flagship model is having a slow start. Only 2,000 units were registered in Europe from January to August 2026, half of them in France. While Xavier Chardon, who now oversees both DS and Citroën, emphasized that the premium brand does not focus on volume sales, he acknowledges that some volume is still necessary.

This might explain the price adjustment for the DS N°8. The vehicle is now listed in the configurator with a base catalog price of 46,990 € for the 230 hp electric version equipped with a 73.7 kWh battery, compared to 59,200 € at launch!

Still, this price reflects a new entry-level “N°8” version with reduced equipment compared to the Pallas model, which also cost 59,200 €. In fact, this cheaper configuration lacks features such as a heat pump, electric front seats, electric trunk lid, and an inductive smartphone charger...

In fact, it seems the intention is to keep the base price below the ecological bonus limit (47,000 €). The higher trims then become option packages, allowing customers to still benefit from the enhanced EEC bonus—a tactic used with the DS N°7 that has been copied for the DS N°8. Adding the Pallas Confort package, however, drives the price up to 13,450 €. There is still a Pallas trim available at 60,920 €, proving that prices haven’t really dropped (it’s easy to get lost in this configurator as well).

But if the lack of features in the base version doesn’t bother you, it could be interesting, as the car costs 46,990 € according to the catalog price and is on sale for 41,360 € in the online “store.” Additionally, there’s the EEC surcharge of at least 3,600 €. This brings the total to 37,760 € for this unique French electric car, which boasts a sufficiently long range of 557 km.
