DS 3 E-Tense

DS 3 E-Tense

The quirky DS 3 is almost a crossover and can be had with petrol or E-Tense electric power.

The DS E-Tense is one of the more distinctive electric crossovers by way of its styling and upmarket interior. An update in 2023 added a refreshed front look, improved battery capacity and a slight performance boost. While it uses the same mechanical underpinnings as other Stellantis models, such as the Peugeot E-2008 and Jeep Avenger, DS Automobiles has made it feel slightly different from its relations, and it drives quite well. The upmarket approach is evident inside, where the design is unique, making it a car for those who like to stand out.
