The DS AUTOMOBILES DS3 (2016-21) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.2 PURETECH 110 SS EU6 ELEGANCE EAT AUTO6 is a small, stylish three-door hatchback for buyers wanting something more distinctive than an everyday supermini. It sits in the premium-leaning small-car corner of the UK market, competing with models such as the MINI Hatch and Audi A1, while offering town-friendly dimensions and an automatic gearbox. With its eye-catching DS styling and Elegance trim, the DS3 feels personal and suits city streets, commuting, couples and small households. The 1.2-litre petrol engine and six-speed automatic make stop-start driving straightforward, while its compact size helps with parking. It is less suited to buyers needing easy rear-seat access or generous family space. mycarcheck.com records 303 look-ups across 121 VINs, giving a useful sample.
