Impressive wheels
Particularly intricate, each alloy wheel designed for DS 3 conveys distinctive creativity. With the ability to upgrade to 18", each design emphasises the car’s imposing presence.
Enhanced grille and a sharp look
The DS Wings are an elegant link between the high-tech DS MATRIX LED VISION headlamps and the grille, subtly enhanced with gloss black or chrome diamond tips. Highlighted with chrome or black lacquer, these DS Wings give DS 3 a sharp look.

A Sculpted Profile

DS 3 reveals a harmonious line with no loss of fluidity thanks to its chrome door handles, which elegantly follow its silhouette and unfold when opened.

Inspirational rear end

A black lacquered bead delicately highlights the rear lights and tailgate. Adorned with the DS Automobiles signature set in polished stainless steel, it subtly trims the rear of the vehicle.

Know-how and attention to detail

Front and back, there’s unbelievable comfort inside with its seats made from premium foam, acoustic insulation, elevated driving position and amazing roominess.

Heated and massaging power seats

The exclusive “watchstrap” upholstery(i) Available on the Étoile finish   gracefully underlines the deep ties between DS Automobiles and craftsmanship.
"Clous de Paris" embossed inserts
Our stylists were inspired by fine watchmaking for trimming DS 3’s controls with “Clous de Paris” embossed inserts. This demanding finish reflects small pyramid-headed nails criss-crossing seamlessly.

TECHNOLOGIES

DS Automobiles offers a range of innovative driver assistance technology and connected services to help you enjoy every moment behind the wheel.

DS IRIS SYSTEM & CHATGPT(i) This DS Automobiles feature uses the power of generative Artificial Intelligence with SoundHound's Chat AI platform, which integrates multiple knowledge domains, combined with the most advanced language models such as the ChatGPT API to provide faster and more comprehensive responses than the previous DS IRIS SYSTEM speech recognition system. ChatGPT is integrated into the DS IRIS SYSTEM using SoundHound's audio and speech recognition system. As it is an artificial intelligence language model, it is developed to generate responses based on learning, but as it is a new and developing technology, its responses or information may not be totally accurate, correct or objective. As with any other virtual assistant, we recommend that you do not rely solely on the information provided and that you avoid sharing private information. Please consult our terms and conditions.  

Already particularly intuitive and responsive, DS IRIS SYSTEM voice recognition system integrates SoundHound Artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT API. 

Your DS is enriched with an innovative function that allows you to explore a whole new relationship with your vehicle, offering you a travel companion that will make your journeys even safer and more pleasant.

DS EXTENDED HEAD UP DISPLAY

DS 3’s 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.
DS IRIS SYSTEM
DS IRIS SYSTEM(i) Standard or optional depending on specification   is our new intuitive, ergonomic information ecosystem that can be completely personalised in a 10.3” HD central screen making reading driving information simple. It combines a personal assistant that uses a touch interface as well as understanding what you say so the system does what you want, when you want.
DS DRIVE ASSIST
DS DRIVE ASSIST helps the driver while enabling them to re-take control of their car at any time. It’s another step towards autonomous driving. This innovative equipment governs speed and distance relative to the vehicle in front. It controls speed and direction to ensure you’re safe and relaxed at the wheel.
PROXIMITY KEYLESS ENTRY & START (ADML Proximity)

 DS 3 unlocks automatically as you come within 2 metres and the door handles, which elegantly blend into the shape, appear.

Start your car easily with the Start/Stop button. On leaving it’s the same principle: the door handles disappear and the car locks automatically.

DS MATRIX LED VISION
DS 3’s DS MATRIX LED VISION is made up of 3 LED modules for the dipped function as well as a MATRIX BEAM module divided into 15 independent sections for undipped operation. The segments illuminate and turn off progressively depending on the driving environment detected by the camera at the top of the windscreen. The driver can therefore drive using main beam headlights without dazzling others: for example approaching a vehicle that’s being followed or coming the other way, a section of the light beam around that vehicle automatically switches off and tracks its movement so as not to distract it.
VISION 360

DS 3 features latest generation digital cameras front and rear enabling perfect reproduction of images on its 10.3” touchscreen.

Vision 360 video assistance shows a “top-down” view of the car and its surroundings during all low-speed manoeuvres: the view updates as the car moves.

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.
