Introducing the all-new DS 3
The new DS 3 is a daring and dynamic crossover SUV, sitting in the DS range as the successor to the DS 3 CROSSBACK.
With a range of new technology added, a new design, and a refined interior, the DS 3 is sure to bring an additional touch of luxury to the DS collection.
The all-electric version, the DS 3 E-TENSE, features an efficient electric motor and battery pairing, providing exceptional power and range.
Both hybrid and electric models have the distinctive DS features and showcase a balance between audacious design and technical expertise.
Coming with a selection of safety features including an Advanced Safety Pack as well as wireless smartphone mirroring and hands-free access, the DS 3 is sure to provide an entertaining experience for any driver.
Design and Practicality
The DS 3 features a design focused on better performance and increased comfort and luxury. The front grille is wide and prominent, and a spoiler enhances the car's aerodynamic performance. LED headlights are standard across the range, providing improved visibility while giving the car a sharp and dynamic appearance.
Attention to detail has been applied throughout the exterior and interior of the DS 3, with high-quality materials used throughout. The figure-hugging seats are covered in a spongy, dense foam to ensure exceptional comfort for both driver and passengers.
With a choice of six striking colours, including a range of metallic and pearlescent shades, the DS 3 can be as eye-catching or minimalist as you prefer.
Technology and Safety
The DS 3 is equipped with advanced technology, including a 10.3-inch high-definition central infotainment screen offered as standard. This intuitive display brings together a wide array of features designed to enhance convenience, connectivity, and user experience.
The DS IRIS SYSTEM, available on selected versions, includes natural voice recognition and connected navigation. The interface is customisable and has been designed with improved ergonomics, ensuring key functions are easily accessible to the driver.
Comprehensive driver assistance systems are integrated as standard. These include Active Safety Brake, traffic sign recognition, and DS DRIVE ASSIST, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane keeping assist. Front-mounted radar sensors support a semi-autonomous driving experience, enhancing both safety and comfort on the road.
Powertrains and Performance
The DS 3 is now exclusively available with advanced hybrid or fully electric powertrains, each offering a distinct driving experience.
The hybrid version is automatic only and produces 145bhp from its efficient 3-cylinder engine and electric motor combination. It offers responsive acceleration, refined driving characteristics, and exceptional fuel economy of up to 56.5mpg combined
For drivers seeking a fully electric option, the DS 3 E-TENSE features a powerful 115 kW motor delivering 155bhp. This model provides lively acceleration and a composed, quiet driving experience, making it perfect for modern urban mobility and longer commutes alike.
Both powertrains maintain the DS brand’s signature focus on comfort, craftsmanship, and technology, offering a premium driving environment that feels both modern and timeless.
Charging
The DS 3 Hybrid is equipped with a self-charging system, meaning there’s no need to plug in. Energy is recovered automatically during braking and deceleration, helping to power the electric motor and reduce fuel consumption. This makes it a highly convenient solution for drivers who want electric assistance without changing their refuelling habits.
For those choosing the fully electric DS 3 E-TENSE, charging is quick and simple. With a range of up to 248 miles on a full charge, it’s well suited for daily commutes, weekend escapes, and everything in between.
When it’s time to recharge, the battery can be charged up to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes using a 100 kW rapid DC charger. This makes it ideal for quick top-ups while on the move, giving you the freedom to travel longer distances with confidence.
