DS AUTOMOBILES DS3 (2016-21)
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The DS AUTOMOBILES DS3 (2016-21) is a small, premium-leaning hatchback for drivers wanting more character than an ordinary supermini. It suits town journeys, commuting and occasional longer trips, with compact dimensions that make parking easy. In the UK used-car market, it competes with the MINI Hatch and Audi A1, offering a stylish alternative to mainstream small cars rather than an SUV.

Those checks show an average private-sale value of £6,800 and average recorded mileage of 44,000 miles.

Distinctive styling and a more upmarket cabin are key attractions; it feels less commonplace than many rivals. The DS3 is best for singles, couples or small households seeking an easy-to-live-with, characterful used hatchback for everyday motoring and city driving too.
