DS NO8 electric lease deals

Leasing a DS N°8 in the UK

DS are looking to make 2025 and 2026 influential for the group. Having launched their all-electric DS3 some time ago, the Citroen offshoot has been relatively quiet with any new products or innovations.

The luxury and upmarket brand within the Stellantis group have perhaps been waiting for markets like the UK’s to mature, especially with political tools like the ZEV mandate now pushing BEV registrations above the 20% mark as at August 2025. However, any suggestions of reticence are now firmly dismissed as they launch the new Nº8 SUV (to supplement the recent N°4 launch.

The SUV Coupe is aiming to be pure and intense with driving functionality, design and driver convenience which pushes this vehicle choice into the upper echelons of the market. For car leasing customers with a healthier budget, this could exceed the boundaries of performance and expectations.

With the new number 8 not just about electric performance and efficiencies, its timeless avant-garde finish is about creating a sleek and impressive silhouette for all to see. A unique interior inspired by the world of jewellery, the precise finish and ergonomic placement is there to create the ultimate sensory experience.

Some of the key highlights include the thermal comforts like heated steering wheel, neck warmer, heated and ventilated massaging seats, thermal panoramic roof, Electra 3D sound, augmented reality, premium nappa leather and pearl stitching.

The latest DS Coupe SUV is stunningly beautiful and is more than likely going to make your driving experience a positive one. However, with many customers now leasing or buying their new cars,  it is key to make sure this is suitable in the long-term.

This is more prevalent when there are different battery options available to you. A free resource on our e-car website is the “living with your ...” tools and EVC™ certificates. We explain and discuss elements like real-world range, charging times (AC and DC), charging costs, charge solutions, performance, charging tariffs, motor insurance and bidirectional charging (V2L and V2G). It is well worth having an overview prior to going ahead.
