REFINED & CONTEMPORARY
High tech and efficient, DS 3 will bring elegance and character to every journey. Available in a 100% electric version, you’ll fall in love with how comfortably it drives.
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.

Elegant Criollo Brown Nappa Leather interior

Our craftsmen have created Nappa Leather seats exclusive, featuring bourdon-stitch embroidery in Tramontane Grey, evoking celestial trails stretching like ribbons.

Heated and massaging power seats 
The heated driver’s seat features accurate electric controls and a massage function that enhances your feeling of well-being in the car and guarantees incredible journeys. 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.


£1,500 SAVING - ELECTRIC CAR GRANT

DS Automobiles customers have access to a £1,500 saving on the 100% electric version of DS 3. Grants will be allocated and approved by Department of Transport’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles on a first come, first served basis.

Once registered a representative from your selected DS Automobiles retailer will be in touch to confirm further details of the Electric Car Grant scheme and support you with the next steps to begin your electric journey.

DS CONNECTED SERVICES

Exclusive services included with the purchase of your vehicle, available depending on the engine type and any options selected.
The electric pictogram indicates services only available on 100% electric and/or plug-in hybrid vehicles.

NAVIGATION CONNECTÉE

Directement accessible depuis votre poste de conduite, la navigation connectée vous communique de précieuses informations (trafic, météo, zones de danger, localisation des stations de services avec le prix des carburants et bornes de recharge électriques…) et vous propose une place de parking proche de votre destination(i) "On Street Parking" disponible dans les principales villes selon les pays  . Votre assistant vocal s’occupe de tout. Et si vous avez déjà programmé votre trajet dans votre application MyDS, envoyez-le directement à votre navigation via un seul clic.

DS IRIS SYSTEM & CHATGPT(i) The new feature by DS Automobiles utilises the power of Generative Artificial Intelligence with SoundHound's Chat AI platform, which integrates several knowledge domains, combined with the most cutting-edge large language models like ChatGPT API to deliver more timely and comprehensive responses than the previous DS IRIS speech recognition system. ChatGPT is integrated in DS IRIS SYSTEM thanks to the audio and speech recognition system from SoundHound. Being an Artificial Intelligence language model, it is developed to generate human-like responses based on deep learning, but as it is new and developing technology, its answers or information may not be totally accurate, correct or objective. As with any other virtual assistant, we recommend you don't rely only on the information provided and avoid sharing private data. Please refer to the terms and conditions.  

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

Your DS is now 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.

EV Routing adapts when conditions change (diversions, traffic), so you enjoy the best possible journeys.
