DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE benefits from the brand’s savoir-faire that enables it to bond advanced technology with luxury. Innovative on the technical front, DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE has a hushed cockpit environment with well-padded seats, quality materials and unequalled comfort. The precision of the detail is emphasised by the incredible Art Leather Nappa leather watchstrap design seats offered by the DS Inspiration OPÉRA, and the spectacular Pearl stitching and Clous de Paris finish. The DS Inspiration RIVOLI features Pebble Grey grain leather, while Alcantara® is the signature of the DS Inspiration PERFORMANCE LINE, offering personalisation that customers who pay attention to the smallest details are looking for.

Noise insulation is even more noticeable in an electric vehicle. Without the vibration and sound of an internal combustion engine, any noise from outside becomes more obvious. DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE adopts several technical solutions such as increased door panel thickness, using thicker glass and an acoustic windscreen. With this insulation, DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE has unparalleled sound deadening for its segment. This enables occupants to benefit fully from the effect of DS LOUNGE.

The touch controls and the central air vents are diamond-shaped beneath a wide 10” screen, the largest in the segment. It displays the main controls and in particular, brings the driver aids together in one place. The heat pump, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, the ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, the ESP, Lane Keeping Assist, Hill Start Assist, Rear Park Assist, everything such as automatic air conditioning, the leather steering wheel, eight airbags and flush fitting door handles are standard, no matter what the specification level.

In the higher PERFORMANCE LINE + specification, you’ll find latest generation innovations such as DS CONNECT NAV, DS CONNECT BOX connectivity and intelligent DS MATRIX LED VISION lighting and also PROXIMITY KEYLESS ENTRY & START which enables the flush fitting door handles to glide out of the bodywork when the keyholder gets to within 1.5m of the car. You’ll also have this equipment in the Grand Chic version which enjoys Head Up Display and leather upholstery. In its 100% electric guise, DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE stands out with Satin Chrome DS Wings, an Anthracite Grey grille and integrated E-TENSE badges. The rear bumper is also unique. The 18” KYOTO alloy wheels and the new Pearl Crystal colour are also offered.

Because of its dimensions, DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE has five proper seats within a 4.12m length and a boot that stays at 350 litres, among the best in class.

There are three driving modes: “ECO” to maximise the range; “NORMAL” and “SPORT” with an immediate increase in torque. These are complemented with two energy recovery systems, taken from Formula E and controllable by the driver: “NORMAL” to simulate the behaviour of an internal combustion engine and “BRAKE” which applies a maximum deceleration of almost 1.3m/s2.

The 320-kilometre WLTP range (430km on the NEDC cycle) is maximised by experience from Formula E in energy recovery and the use of a heat pump, an efficient way of warming the battery to maintain it at an optimal operating temperature, even in cold weather.

With this new 100% electric offering, DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE is aimed at all premium B segment SUV customers. In western Europe, the average daily mileage of the B segment driver is judged to be 40km. If that’s the case, most people only need to plug in once a week (full charge in 5 hours on a domestic supply with an 11kW charging point). And for essential trips the on-board charger can boost the battery to 80% in just 30 minutes from a 100kW supply, which should be more than 250km WLTP (nearly 350km NEDC).

In Europe, charging points are multiplying to support more journeys. At the start of the second half of 2019, we counted more than 170,000 charging points on the continent with the fastest chargers located in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Norway and the Netherlands.

In most European countries, there are tax breaks and grants supporting the increase of electric vehicles. That’s the case, notably in Romania (up to 11,500 Euros), Slovenia (7,500 Euros), France (6,000 Euros) and in Italy (6,000 Euros) at purchase. Twenty-four of the twenty-eight European Union countries offer grants. The four other countries (Croatia, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland) have a tiny market for electric cars.
