This year marks the 70th anniversary of DS, the French premium car brand spun-off from Citroen in 2014. DS has been teetering on the edge of “why bother?” since then, with a range of cars a long way off challenging the German premium establishment.
The DS No.8 (note the use of a Chanel-like numbering system for the cars from this model) is the car to change all that. DS has three pillars that mark its cars out as different: French elegance, absolute comfort and dynamic serenity. We’re not really sure what that last one means, but it’s certainly got bags of unique French style and is impressively comfortable – something you can’t always say about the No.8’s German rivals.
