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
Pros Excellent interior Three solid powertrains Standard advanced safety features Near-perfect crash-test scores Great warranty
Cons Infotainment takes a step back Gets pricey quickly Limited plug-in hybrid range Premium fuel only
Pros Super cool interior Sleek Scandinavian looks Packed with safety tech
Cons Slightly dull to drive Alternatives have bigger boots… … and more intuitive infotainment
