Last Updated: 05.12.2024

The French decided to follow the trends and replace the not very popular Citroen DS 3 Crossback hatchback with a version with “off-road” features. Crossover sales in Europe are scheduled to start next year. The appearance of the model on the Russian market was announced, but noticeably later.

SUV DS 3 Crossback

It is important to note that with the appearance on the market, the model will be practically devoid of competitors in its segment. Before us is a small SUV of the B-class. At the same time, the car has expensive equipment and an impressive cost. It is very difficult to find analogues on the world market, so the main competitors for the French model will be cars with comparatively large dimensions, for example, BMW X2 , Lexus UX , etc. However, even against such bestsellers, Citroen can compete for high sales figures.

The reasons for the possible success of the DS 3 are many. The SUV received a modern and eye-catching appearance that attracts a young audience and girls. As befits a true Frenchman, inside we see a rich trim with high-quality materials. The machine is based on the new CMP platform, which allows the introduction of both internal combustion engines and electric motors.

As a result, we get all the important factors for consumers from Europe. The prospects of the model in Russia are not so rosy. The DS line did not receive much demand in the domestic market, and soon the production of the hatchback “Troika” will be completed.

As for the new SUV, Peugeot -Citroen management plans to produce it at three brand companies. Europeans will receive a version assembled at a factory in France. For South America, delivery of the car is planned from Argentina. The company plans to set up an assembly in China, where only the layout with an electric motor will be assembled.

The exterior of the compact crossover was designed in the brand’s corporate style and many decisions were taken from the “older” DS 7 Crossback model. Nevertheless, the new car has many similarities with its predecessor, the hatchback, which ultimately resulted in an interesting design.

The body can be painted in one of 10 color variants, the basic solution is dark blue metallic. The company will also offer 10 types of rims to choose from.

The interior of the car fully corresponds to the exterior and premium status. Here we see many “expensive” elements, original shapes and a whole range of advanced equipment with exceptionally high-quality upholstery materials.

Technical data

For the first time in the history of automobile Citroen DS 3 Crossback Group received a new CMP platform, which will soon form the basis for new generations of Peugeot 208 , Opel Corsa and Citroen DS 9. This “trolley” allows the installation of both internal combustion engines and electric motors with batteries, since there is a special compartment next to the floor.

After some time, the French plan to create a modification of the E-Tence, equipped with a 136-horsepower electric motor and a front-wheel drive system. It is assumed that a car will be able to travel about 300 kilometers on a single charge. At the same time, an electric car will need about 8.5 seconds to accelerate from zero to the first “hundred”.

At the same time, when the new model goes on sale, we will only see kits with conventional engines. The basic version is a 1.2-liter turbo engine with a power of 100 to 155 hp (depending on the version). The range will also include a diesel version for 100-130 “horses”. In all cases, an eight-speed automatic transmission was chosen as the transmission.
