Ian was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the process. Despite me being a novice to car leasing, and changing vehicles halfway through, it was still a trouble free experience. Would recommend, and use again.
DS 3 Electric Lease
The DS 3 Electric is a fully-electric hatchback-SUV crossover that makes a great lease alternative to the Vauxhall Mokka Electric, Jeep Avenger, and the Peugeot e-2008.
Refreshed and revamped in 2023, the DS 3 Electric is underpinned by a 54 kWh battery that offers power of 155 hp and a range of up to 249 miles.
The DS 3 Electric also offers enticing refinement for its class, coming with sophisticated styling, flush-fitting door handles, and a cabin that has been built for comfort.

The DS 3 Electric was previously known as the DS 3 ‘Crossback’ E-Tense, but that ‘Crossback’ title was dropped following a major facelift in 2023.
It sits in the French manufacturer’s range behind models like the DS 4 crossover, DS 7 SUV, and DS 9 saloon, all of which are available with plug-in hybrid engines.
When it comes to charging, the DS 3 Electric supports rapid 100 kW DC energy replenishes, which can take the battery from 10-80% 30 minutes. A comparable home wallbox charge will take around 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Meanwhile the electric DS 3 Electric also comes generously equipped as standard. Its serene cabin features a 10.3-inch HD touchscreen, 7-inch digital instrument cluster, premium comfort seats, and rear parking sensors.
Lease customers will also enjoy a full suite of driver assistance and safety systems, including intelligent speed adaptation, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist.
And because there are zero CO2 emissions at the tailpipe, the DS 3 Electric also makes sense as a company car or salary sacrifice vehicle, thanks to a low Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax bracket.

Jim was easy to work with and I got the vehicle I requested. Hand over was easy and the delivery driver spent time explaining all the cars functions. Communication was good throughout the process.
Voytek Kowalczyk in particular made this process really painless. I had quotes put out in the market to over a dozen brokers (for this company car lease). There was only one quote that came in cheaper than Select but it came eight days too late (after I signed the Select papers off). On detailed examination it turned out to be £97 cheaper over three years instead of the £535 that appeared initially. This is because even if their monthly charge was £15 cheaper, the initial payment was £428 higher - assuming zero interest acrual on the £428. Voytek is a great communicator and, though clearly busy, keep me posted on the progress. The experience so far has been great. Will return to this review when I renew in three years, to state how that has been.
