DS Auto upgrades two important cars with addition of BEV power

DS Automobiles Ireland today marks a significant milestone in its journey with the Irish debut of two new models: the all-new DS N°8 flagship and the highly anticipated DS N°4 premium hatchback.

Presented to the Irish motoring press at Marlfield House, both models showcase the brand’s commitment to innovation, refinement and electrified performance, while embodying the signature DS philosophy of the French Art of Travel.

Alan Kilroy, Managing Director of DS Automobiles Ireland, said:
“DS N°8 and DS N°4 mark a major step forward for DS in Ireland, showcasing our commitment to electrification, design and comfort. With the new DS N°7 SUV arriving later this year for 271 registration period, we will have a fully refreshed line-up, giving Irish customers a compelling premium alternative across every key segment.”
