Key Features
and/or Benefits
Advanced technology and intelligent details can be seen everywhere on the Citroën DS3 right down to the new 3D taillights. The 3D taillights create the illusion of a never ending light array, complete with a chrome finish and DS logo mounted on the side. Inside an interchangeable scented air freshener is mounted in the dashboard so you can enjoy a subtle fragrance. Each element and every angle of the Citroën DS3 is different, it is a clear expression and celebration of Créative Technologie.
The DS3 allows for almost endless customisation possibilities to create the ultimate form of self-expression. This is possible in part to the eight body colour choices and four contrasting colours for the floating roof panel. An exciting selection of nine different roof graphics with matching floor mats and additional chrome accents are ready to add impact and personal expression. Finally, a selection of alloy wheels is available in neutral silver, black and white to hint at the DS3’s poise and finely tuned handling. With all of these elements combined the Citroën DS3 takes freedom of expression to the next level.
Every detail of the DS3 interior can be fine-tuned to your tastes, from the addition of sporty leather seats in multiple colours to floor mats that match the optional roof graphics. The dashboard is available in five distinct finishes: piano black, blanc opale, blue infini, gris moondust or a carbon fibre effect. Along with housing all of your chosen technology, the dashboard is complimented by a matching gear knob to complete the custom look. Even the remote plip features a coloured disc matching the owners chosen colour scheme.
All Citroën DS3 models have standard ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ABS (Automatic Braking System) with EBD (Electronic Breakforce Distribution) and EBA (Electronic Break Assist). While the interior features no fewer than six airbags. The Euro NCAP test has recognised Citroën DS3’s by awarding it the maximum 5 star safety rating. It’s easy to see why the Citroën DS3 was awarded Top Gear Magazine’s ‘Small Car of the Year’ accolade as well as the coveted ‘Car of the Year’ award in 2010.
The designers examined every aspect of the DS3 to reduce weight and improve aerodynamics which resulted in coefficient of only 0.31. From 104g/km of CO2 to 115kw the DS3 offers a choice of two EURO 5 petrol engines for a perfect blend of fun and efficiency. The Citroën DS3 helps the environment thanks to its Gear Efficiency Indicator on manual models. This system lets you know exactly which gear is the most efficient and reduces the ecological impact with lower CO2 levels and fuel consumption.
