DS 3 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The 2022 design update brings a cleaner, more cohesive look to the DS 3. The front end receives a facelift inspired by larger models in the lineup, featuring a restyled grille and updated light signatures. The crossover maintains its compact proportions with a length of 4,118 mm and a width of 1,802 mm excluding mirrors, making it easy to maneuver. The Performance Line trim adds sportier elements, including 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 215/60R17 tires, giving the small SUV a more purposeful stance on the road.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the updated DS 3 features a newly designed steering wheel and a modern multimedia system with a completely revised user interface. The infotainment setup includes a touchscreen display with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Depending on the trim, the interior offers upscale materials such as leather accents and Alcantara seat upholstery. Comfort-enhancing features include climate control, heated front seats, and an eight-speaker audio system. While compact, the layout places driver controls within easy reach to improve usability.
Performance
Under the hood, the DS 3 offers three distinct powertrain types. The gasoline options center around a 1.2-liter PureTech three-cylinder engine in various states of tune, yielding up to 165 horsepower, paired with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed Aisin automatic transmission. For diesel buyers, a 1.5-liter BlueHDi four-cylinder engine produces 130 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque, matched to an eight-speed automatic. Finally, the electric version features a 50 kWh battery pack and a 156-horsepower motor, generating 260 Nm of torque and enabling a zero-to-one-hundred kilometer per hour sprint in nine seconds.
Practicality
As a subcompact crossover, the DS 3 provides a 350-liter trunk capacity for daily cargo needs. The cabin accommodates up to five occupants and features standard LATCH/Isofix child seat mounts on the rear seats for families. Everyday convenience is aided by an automatic parking brake, keyless entry and start, and power-folding side mirrors. Gasoline and diesel models carry a 44-liter fuel tank, balancing driving range with the vehicle's compact dimensions.
Safety and tech
The DS 3 is equipped with several modern safety systems and driver assistance features. Standard and available technologies include Lane Keeping Assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and dynamic cruise control. For parking convenience, the crossover features front and rear parking sensors alongside a rear-view camera. Visibility is enhanced by LED headlights and daytime running lights, while automatic wipers and heated mirrors help driver visibility in adverse weather conditions.
Buyer notes
When choosing a DS 3, buyers should carefully evaluate the powertrain options, ranging from manual gasoline models to the automatic diesel and the battery-electric version. Exact trim levels and equipment packages can vary significantly by market. The Performance Line highlights the vehicle's premium positioning with upgraded interior materials, comprehensive safety assists, and distinctive styling, making it a strong choice for those seeking a more premium subcompact crossover experience.
