'Make no mistake, the Citroen DS3 is every bit a match for its premium supermini competition' - Daily Express
The Citroen DS3 is the first model from Citroen's brand new DS line, a product range consisting of three distinctively styled, attention-grabbing models that highlight the very best of Citroen's 'creative technologie'.
With razor sharp styling and a visually-arresting design, Citroen DS3 is a radical take on the compact urban vehicle and a contemporary breath of fresh air for the class.
Fully in line with Citroen's commitment to producing cleaner, more environmentally considerate vehicles, the two HDi DPFS engines will deliver ultra low CO2 emissions of just 99g/km and 115/g km, whilst the petrol units will emit between 136/km and 160g/km.
The Citroen DS3 is available with Citroen's latest in-car technology such as the integrated MyWay satellite navigation unit which incorporates a sophisticated audio and multimedia system, wide format colour screen, MP3 and WMA compatible CD player and Bluetooth hands free kit. Providing exceptional acoustic clarity, the audio system benefits from a third speaker in the middle of the upper dashboard as well as an amplified subwoofer mounted in the boot for a broader frequency response and immersive audio experience.
A convenient range of driving aids will also be available including cruise control with speed limiter, and an intelligent indicator which recommends the optimal moment for gear changes allowing drivers to improve their fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
The Citroen DS3 is designed with an emphasis on robustness, strength and optimum safety to ensure protection for all occupants. For reassuring control in any driving situation Citroen DS3 models will feature as standard ESP, ABS with EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution) and EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) as well as six airbags and Isofix anchor points on the rear side seats.
