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 Plenty of space throughout the three rows of seats, several good engine choices, comfortable ride.
Cons More expensive than Chevrolet analogue, most models guzzle gas, might not fit in your garage.
Pros Comfortable ride and quiet interior Climate control system is impressive Optional 6.2-liter V8 makes robust power Generous cargo capacity
Cons Hard to maneuver in parking lots and city streets Driver's seat lacks adjustability Ponderous handling Not much different than the less expensive Chevrolet Tahoe
