Behind the wheel of the DS 8: the brand's most serious offering in years
Quiet and fun to drive
Its efficiency is impressive, especially given that it weighs around 2.2 tons. With the long-range version, getting close to 310 miles of highway range at normal freeway speeds isn't wishful thinking. In fact, its driving dynamics are one of its biggest (and most surprising) strengths: the steering has good feel, responses are quick, it's agile in direction changes and feels very stable at high speeds. It actually feels smaller and lighter than it is. Comfort is a given in a DS of this size, helped by features like active suspension that scans the road and anticipates bumps, plus excellent cabin insulation. It's so quiet inside that you can literally hear the seat massage system at work
