Product Overview
DS 3 Crossback is a subcompact crossover in production from 2018. It is powered by either 1.2L turbo I3 petrol, 1.5L turbo I4 diesel, or a battery-electric drivetrain.
Like all modern French vehicles, the DS 3 Crossback lacks independent rear suspensions. While Citroen wants you to think that it is a legitimate competition to the likes of Mercedes or Lexus, the DS 3 Crossback is just a fattened tiny hatchback with poor build quality.

Reviewer score 52%DS wants comfort but not Citroen-style floaty comfort. It wants response but not Peugeot-style tiny steering wheel response. Unlike Audi and Mini, DS has let the Crossback be its own thing. The 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbo engine is quiet, and the eight-speed auto smooth in unhurried driving.

Pros
- Sleek looks
- Comfortable to drive

Cons
- Not the most fun to drive

Reviewer score 37%The 3 Crossback is available with three flavours of the 1.2-litre three-cylinder PureTech petrol: 100bhp, 128bhp and 153bhp. Trim levels are Elegance, Performance Line, Prestige and the range-crowning Ultra Prestige, with a launch edition dubbed La Première that adds some unique design details and extra technology from the options list. The sole diesel option is a 101bhp 1.5- litre four- cylinder unit paired with a six-speed manual transmission.

Pros

Reviewer score 61%The PSA Group chose DS, its smallest-selling marque, to be first with a concept it intends eventually to sell across its four brands: Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall and DS. A permanent magnet electric motor, rated at 134bhp and 192lb ft of torque, to drive the front wheels. The motor is fed by a 50kWh lithium ion battery mounted beneath the front and rear seats, giving the car a WLTP-calculated range of 200 miles.

Reviewer score 35%The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense isn't actually the most practical small EV, and nor is the car that smarter buyers will naturally gravitate towards. The car is, at least, pretty simple to drive, and broadly pleasing with it. Although it could function better as a small luxury car, it drives reasonably well and has the practicality and usability to satisfy plenty of less demanding supermini and wider premium hatchback converts.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive

Cons

- Not the most practical small EV
autoexpress[5]
Reviewer score 32%The DS 3 has been designed with comfort in mind and rides well. It's easy to drive, the interior is trimmed in some nice materials and the engine and gearbox combinations are strong. But prices are high for a small premium SUV that can't quite match its rivals for outright quality and polish.

Pros

Reviewer score 40%From September, buyers will be able to get their hands on the DS 3 E-Tense. The electric powered model promises a circa-200 mile range on the WLTP cycle and 100kW rapid charging. There's a 99bhp diesel and a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol offered in three flavours. Based on a four-year PCP deal, each model comes with a matching £4,000 deposit.

Pros

autoexpress[7]
Reviewer score 62%DS 3 shares its platform and powertrain with more humble cars like the latest Vauxhall Corsa-e and Peugeot e-2008; distinctly mainstream models with no premium pretensions. On the road, the DS 3's smooth and punchy powertrain will win over any EV sceptic. The plush leather seats in our test car do a fantastic job of taking the edge of what is ostensibly quite a firm ride.

Pros
- Smooth and punchy powertrain

Cons
- Poor rearward visibility
- Lacklustre infotainment
carmagazine[8]
Reviewer score 67%The DS3 Crossback sits on PSA's CMP platform (that's been designed to work with both ICE and BEV models) The cabin is draped in the sort of luxurious materials you'd expect from a luxury hotel on the Champs-Élysées. The E-Tense offers light steering, a cushy ride 90% of the time (expansion joints in the road can be a struggle) and impressive refinement levels.

Reviewer score 54%The DS 3 Crossback replaces the 3 hatchback as the baby of the DS Automobiles range. The three-door hatchback MINI rival bows out for an SUV with an additional set of doors and a higher riding, beefed-up body. Prices have gone up too, with the most affordable model costing over £21k and rising up towards £34,000 for the La Première launch edition.

Pros

Cons

carwow[10]
Reviewer score 59%The DS 3 Crossback is the ideal small SUV if you want your small, stylish family car to stand out. It doesn't have the badge kudos of a VW T-Roc, but it'll leave this German alternative eating its avant-garde dust in the style stakes. It soaks up potholes very well in town, where you'll find the DS's light steering, relatively small size and perky petrol engines.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Not as agile as a VW T-Roc
- Not as comfortable as a Skoda Karoq
carwow[11]
Reviewer score 60%The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense has the edge over many competitors in the comfort stakes. It irons out bumps around town very well and the light controls make manoeuvring a doddle. It's impressively quiet once you head out of town too, thanks to some extra sound-proofing. If you're looking for a city-focused SUV that's cheap to run and comfortable, it's well worth considering.

Pros
