Find your perfect DS 3

Cars available now

The DS 3 E-Tense is comfortable, quiet and luxurious, making it an enticing proposition. However, for the money, it simply feels out of its league – namely it’s far down on the space and range offered by some rivals, including the Kia EV3 and Renault Megane. If the DS 3 E-Tense suits your lifestyle and you decide to buy one, we’d recommend going for the entry-level Pallas trim.

Pallas is the entry-level trim, but it comes with some luxuries and is our recommended option. It has 17in wheels, automatic air conditioning, tinted rear windows and a wireless phone-charger.

The all-electric E-Tense feels strong on the road and is very quiet but its official range falls short of newer electric SUVs.
