The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense is a seriously stylish electric car with comfy suspension and a stunning interior but it’s let down by cramped back seats and limited electric range.
Pros Fabulous interior Very comfortable to drive Plenty of personalisation options
Cons Cramped back seats Alternatives are cheaper… … and have greater ranges
Not the EV we’d recommend, but if you like the way it looks and battery-power suits your lifestyle then by all means.
Pros Bit different to look at and sit in, as practical as ICE car
Cons Ride comfort, inconsistent brake pedal, awkward infotainment
The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense offers enough range for most people, but it's far from the best electric car on sale.
Pros Choice of trim levels Characterful design Fast-charging capability
Cons Shorter range than rivals Not a huge boot Feels heavy
Concentrates on what matters in a small SUV - looking and feeling different to a hatch.
Pros Good powertrains, electric version, unusual looks inside and out
Cons A bit softer than rivals in the bends, can get pricey
The DS 3 Crossback turn heads and has an interior that’ll impress. However, plenty of alternatives are more intuitive to use, bigger inside and come with larger boots.
Pros Stylish interior Comfy over bumps Lots of personalisation options
Cons Fiddly interior buttons Alternatives are cheaper… … and more practical
