A combination of performance and elegance for your electric car.
Designed for effortless daily use, the DS E-TENSE powertrain delivers a responsive and quiet drive, ensuring both efficiency and driving pleasure. Whether in the city or on longer journeys, experience seamless performance with zero tailpipe emissions.

Savings on maintenance costs
With their simplified engine, electric vehicles require little maintenance:
Fewer wearing parts need to be replaced
Brake discs wear out less quickly
Oil changes and filter changes are no longer necessary
With DS 3 E-TENSE three drive modes are available drawing more or less energy from the battery.
Eco mode lets you conserve the range of your electric vehicle. Some functions such as cockpit temperature and recirculating air are slightly altered to reduce energy use.
Sport mode boosts driver enjoyment. When engaged it lets your DS 3 E-TENSE deliver maximum power and torque for a thrilling experience.
Normal mode controls the car’s various parameters to ensure maximum comfort on every journey.
Regenerative breaking
Thanks to our participation in Formula E, we’ve developed several innovations such as regenerative braking. Like an engine brake, you can turn kinetic energy into electricity as you decelerate, thereby charging your electric car’s battery. Through energy recovery during braking you can increase the range of your DS 3 E-TENSE by up to 20% around town. This function can be engaged with a simple push on the gear lever.
THERMAL PRE-CONDITIONING
Pre-warming your DS 3 E-TENSE enables you to maximise the range of its battery. This function can be programmed remotely through your MyDS app. It means you’ll get into an electric car that’s at the perfect temperature with a battery that’s also pre-warmed and therefore operating at its most efficient.

¹ The fuel consumption or electric range achieved, and CO2 produced, in real world conditions will depend upon a number of factors including, but not limited to: the accessories fitted (pre and post registration); the starting charge of the battery (PHEV only); variations in weather; driving styles and vehicle load. The plug-in hybrid range requires mains electricity for charging. The WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) is used to measure fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 figures. Figures shown are for comparison purposes and should only be compared to the fuel consumption, electric range and CO2 values of other cars tested to the same technical standard. The figures displayed for the plug-in hybrid range were obtained using a combination of battery power and fuel. Information correct at time of going to print. More details on WLTP can be found here.
