About the DS Automobiles DS 3
The DS 3 E-Tense is DS Automobiles' premium small electric crossover, aiming to bring French luxury to the compact EV segment. Built on the e-CMP platform with a 50.8 kWh NMC battery, it pairs a 156 bhp electric motor with a refined chassis tuned for comfort rather than sportiness.
What distinguishes the DS 3 from its Stellantis siblings (the Peugeot e-2008 and Citroën ë-C4) is the interior treatment. Quilted leather, intricate dashboard detailing, and Alcantara touches give the cabin a distinctly upmarket feel. The B.R.M. clock face on the dashboard is a signature DS flourish that divides opinion but underlines the brand's premium aspirations.
With a WLTP range of up to 250 miles and DC charging at 100 kW, it is competitive for its class. The ride is comfortable and the cabin well-insulated from road noise. The DS 3 makes most sense for buyers who value interior ambiance and design flair over outright range or charging speed.
What the press thinks
The press appreciates the DS 3's luxurious interior and distinctive styling. Build quality and material choices are praised. Criticisms focus on the 100 kW charging limit, the high price relative to better-known premium brands, and an infotainment system that tries too hard to be different.
