New DS 3 E-Tense 2023 review

The DS 3 is an updated and renamed version of the DS 3 Crossback, the smallest SUV in the French brand’s line-up. The updated E-Tense all-electric version offers more claimed range and a more comfortable driving experience. The updated electric powertrain includes a larger battery with an extra 4kWh capacity and a more powerful single electric motor (rated at 154bhp). The DS 3’s interior is more expressive than some of its cost-cutting, minimalist approaches. The car’s price is a major issue, with the Opera-spec model costing £42,700 and the Performance Line models at £658 a month.
