DS 3
Technical Information
EXTERIOR DESIGN
A modern design
High tech and efficient, DS 3 will bring elegance and character to every journey. Available in a HYBRID version, you’ll fall in love with how comfortably it drives.
ENHANCED GRILLE AND PIERCING STARE
The new DS Wings are an elegant link between the technological headlamps DS MATRIX LED VISION and the grille, subtly enhanced with gloss black or chrome diamond tips. Emphasised with chrome or black lacquer, these DS Wings give DS 3 a sharp look.
FLUSH FITTING DOOR HANDLES
DS 3 comes with chrome door handles that fit its shape elegantly and fold out for opening.
REDESIGNED REAR FACE
A black lacquered bead finely highlights the rear lights and the tailgate. Adorned with the DS Automobiles signature set in polished stainless steel, it subtly dresses the rear of the vehicle.
INTERIOR DESIGN
Expertise and attention to detail
Crafted with great care, DS 3’s interiors mix premium materials, high tech elegance and attention to detail, immersing you in a comfortable and hushed interior stamped with character and modernity.
High quality materials
The high quality of the materials, the distinction of the French craftspeople’s expertise and the harmony of the lines bring the interiors to life, enhanced by the unique upholstery.
“WATCHSTRAP” UPHOLSTERY
Our upholsterers have enhanced DS 3’s interior with Nappa leather, a prized full-grain leather. The exclusive “watchstrap” upholstery gracefully emphasises the deep bond between DS Automobiles and craftsmanship.
“CLOUS DE PARIS” EMBOSSED INSERTS
Our stylists were inspired by fine watchmaking for decorating DS 3’s controls with “Clous de Paris” embossed inserts. This demanding finish represents small pyramid-headed nails criss-crossing seamlessly.
“PEARL” STITCHING
From the imagination of our upholsterers and inspired by embroidery, Pearl stitching is a finish that reproduces a pattern in the shape of a pearl on the seams of the leathers in DS 3. This trick has become a DS Automobiles signature.

HIGH PERFORMANCE HYBRID TECHNOLOGY
The freedom of self-charging electric driving
Powered by an internal combustion engine combined with an electric motor with a self-charging 48V Li-Ion battery, DS 3 HYBRID offers reduced CO2 emissions and improved fuel efficency with up to 15% less fuel consumption on average, compared with a petrol engine.
Combined consumption WLTP compared with a Petrol equivalent.
The combustion engine and electric motor work together to optimise energy consumption:
- during hard acceleration, to create a boost effect,
- during deceleration, to regenerate the battery’s charge,
- at low speeds and over short distances, DS 3 HYBRID switches to 100% electric
Powertrains available
DS 3 comes with two powertrain options:
PureTech 100 Petrol, and also a 136 hp HYBRID version.
ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY
ADML Proximity
With Keyless Entry & Start, DS 3 unlocks automatically as you come within 2 metres and the door handles, which elegantly blend into the shape, appear.
Start your vehicle easily with the Start/Stop button. On leaving it’s the same principle: the door handles disappear and the vehicle locks automatically.
Colour Head-up Display
DS 3’s colour Extended Head-Up Display represents an immersive visual experience similar to augmented reality. Digital data is projected onto a transparent screen in the driver’s line of sight, so they never have to take their eyes off the road.
360° VISION
DS 3 features latest generation digital cameras front and rear enabling perfect reproduction of images on its 10.3” touchscreen.
360° Vision video assistance shows a “top-down” view of the vehicle and its surroundings during all low-speed manoeuvres: the view updates as the car moves.
