The new DS 3 is nothing like the original DS 3. That car was a small hatchback to rival the Mini Hatch, but this is really a replacement for the old DS 3 Crossback, a compact SUV that took the battle to the Lexus UX and the Audi Q2 in the premium sector. Its success was, with the best will in the world, limited, so DS has fitted a few updates to the styling and the on-board technology to try and keep pace with the best on the market.

In an attempt to give the DS 3 even more of a fighting chance, the company has also set about making changes to the engine range. Removing diesel power from the line-up altogether would normally be the headline alteration, were it not for the fact the French manufacturer has tweaked the electric ‘E-Tense’ model to give it more power and more range. But will that be enough to fend off other appealing compact premium models?
