DS 3 Review
A compact SUV with an impressive electric range, the DS 3 is twist on the original model, with some premium upgrades.
The DS 3 is a luxurious compact crossover powered by a frugal petrol engine and which competes with rivals like the Audi Q2, Ford Puma, Skoda Kamiq, and the Peugeot 2008.
Refreshed and revamped in 2023, the traditionally-fuelled DS 3 sits alongside the fully-electric DS 3 E-Tense in the French manufacturer’s range.
A DS 3 lease comes generously equipped as standard, with LED headlamps, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, and an active safety brake all standard-fit.

The distinctive DS 3 marks the entry point into the DS leasing range, sitting behind the larger DS 4 crossover and DS 7 SUV.
The DS 3 hatchback has previously been known as the DS 3 ‘Crossback’, though that ‘Crossback’ title was jettisoned in 2023 to simplify the offering.
DS says its ‘3’ has been built with ‘refinement’ in mind. The modern exterior features flush-fitting door handles and invisible exterior window seals in order to elevate the DS 3 above other crossovers in the leasing market.
The cabin should also prove exceptionally comfortable, coming with plush, premium seats, an ergonomic steering wheel, and a large 10.3-inch infotainment touch screen.
The ‘PureTech 130’ petrol engine has power of 131 hp, comes mated to an automatic gearbox, and is capable of returning close to 50 miles to the gallon, which should help to lower your fuel bills.
Meanwhile a self-charging ‘HYBRID’ powertrain, introduced in 2024, marries a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a 28hp electric motor to offer improved performance, lower CO2 emissions and increased fuel efficiency.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
I made a number of enquiries into leasing a car and Select came up with the best deal. I dealt with James Bamber who very helpful in dealing with my many questions. They were very easy and straightforward to deal with and would not hesitate to in using them again. Calls and email answered promptly.
The gentleman who was assigned to my lease went above and beyond his duty. I was in a problem due to lack of a vehicle and needing it to travel to an important race (for wife), and he arranged for the vehicle to be delivered in time. Hats off to Jerette Mauthe, I owe you a beer !
First time leasing a car and didn’t know what to expect but couldn’t be happier. I had the pleasure of dealing with Michelle Timmis who was brilliant and so helpful. Michelle explained everything step by step and made the process so simple. Would definitely recommend. Thank you
