The new DS N°8 electric model by DS Automobiles includes different types of essential and important connected services presents in several packs.
Connect One Pack
Included for 10 years with the purchase of DS N°8, this pack contains essential services such as SOS & Assistance, remote maintenance (a monthly report on the car’s condition, booking a service slot), the digital service record and all remote updates (for infotainment elements, but also for software, particularly drivetrains).
Connect Plus Pack
This service is included for three years on any of the Brand’s cars, providing maximum peace of mind. On DS N°8, the Connect Plus pack is equipped with connected services to increase the serenity of all-electric travel:
In-car EV Routing
Travelling in DS N°8 means enjoying a substantial range and optimised travel time with the in-car EV Routing journey planner. It is linked to the DS Iris System 2.0 Connected Navigation which includes mapping updates, points of interest, danger zones, etc… On a route programmed into the navigation system, this service analyses the energy requirements according to real-time traffic and consumption. It displays the optimal route and route information, taking account of any potential charging locations required. Embedded EV Routing continuously selects the charging points that best suit the car’s needs, both in terms of power and stopping time. It also accounts for the charge level desired by the driver when they arrive at their destination.
Battery pre-conditioning
To minimise stopping time, DS N°8 prepares the battery cells by conditioning them to be at a beneficial temperature for a high and regular charging curve. On a long journey, the on-board EV Routing automatically triggers battery preconditioning before arriving at a charging station. This ensures that the cells are in the best state for charging, regardless of the outside temperature.
Plug & charge functionality
DS N°8 will allow its driver to set off with total peace of mind. The Free2move Charge “Go” service will implement the “Plug & Charge” technology which means all you have to do is plug in the charging cable. Recognition of the car, your subscription or prepaid package will be done instantly and combined on a single bill. This service will start a few months after DS N°8’s launch.
Extended speech recognition and ChatGPT
The French manufacturer is taking another step forward with an improvement in speech recognition through spatialisation. When several people are inside, DS N°8 recognises the voice and position of the person speaking to it from the first row. If the front-seat passenger says “Ok Iris, I’m cold, turn up the temperature”, the system understands that you need to add a few degrees just on the passenger’s side of the cockpit.
At the beginning of 2024, DS Automobiles was the first manufacturer in the world to include ChatGPT services as standard across its entire range with DS Iris System. Inside DS N°8, all you have to do is ask a question in a natural way, as if you were talking to a human being, for the Art of Travel to take on another dimension. Through artificial intelligence, ChatGPT is able to handle any type of request. Need more information before a visit to the Palace of Versailles? Need to keep a child busy for the next two hours? What can you visit in terms of its geographical location? A true personal assistant, Iris supported by ChatGPT is not only a source of information, but can also help find a place and ask the navigation system to program the destination. With ChatGPT, DS Iris System 2.0 provides unprecedented benefits.
The Connect Plus pack also allows you to take advantage of other features via the MyDS app such as remote control for charging (programming the charging start time, pre-conditioning the cabin temperature etc…), remote control (locking/unlocking, headlights and horn) and the connected alarm (on a vehicle fitted with the physical alarm).
Furthermore, DS N°8 offers the e-Routes app for preparing your drive in advance. e-Routes by Free2move Charge, available on MyDS, is a route planner that allows you to plot your trip away from your car. It calculates the best travel time by including any charging points. This mobile application can become a real co-pilot since it can be used wirelessly “mirroring” on DS N°8’s large central screen. The route calculation is updated in real time.
