The DS AUTOMOBILES DS3 (2016-21) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 PURETECH 82 EU6 CHIC is a small, three-door petrol hatchback aimed at buyers wanting city-car practicality with a more distinctive, upmarket feel. It sits in the UK supermini class, offering a stylish alternative to the MINI Hatch, Audi A1 and Fiat 500. Its 1.2-litre engine and compact size suit urban journeys, parking and commuting, while occasional longer trips are possible. The three-door layout makes rear-seat access less convenient, so it suits singles, couples and first-time drivers better than families. Chic trim adds smart, individual character and distinctive styling for comfortable everyday driving. Mycarcheck.com checks cover 1,946 lookups across 808 distinct VINs, a substantial sample. Average private-sale value is £6,000, with average recorded mileage of 42,000 miles and annual use of 6,000 miles. Previous keepers average just under two. Treat these as market context, not a guarantee; check each car’s history and condition carefully.
