2025 DS Automobiles DS 3
DS Automobiles DS 3 BASTILLE 1.2 PURETECH 100
DS 3 (15 - present)
With its striking design and endless range of personalisation options, the DS 3 brings something truly unique to the small car market. Having dropped the Citroen badge earlier in the year, the first stand alone DS model is a 3-door hatchback with heaps of character, a distinctive appearance and cracking performance. It is more affordable than most of its rivals and running costs in general are quite low. The cabin is fun all the way and finished with some really high quality materials, with comfortable seating and plenty of kit on board. To drive, the DS3 is exciting and great fun. The sharp steering, tight turning circle and firm ride make for a great driving experience. It’s a great car to own no matter what roads you use. It’s nippy on city streets and well planted on motorways and B roads.
