Used Citroen DS3 buying guide

Engines and transmissions

Citroen offered mostly petrol engines with a diesel option, along with a manual or an automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.

Petrol
  • 1.4 VTi produces 95bhp for a 0-02mph time of 10.3 seconds and an efficiency rating of 48mpg.
  • 1.2 PureTech was the smallest offered, making 82bhp.
  • 1.6 VTi was the most popular, and was capable of around 42mpg.
  • 1.6 THP output was between 155bhp and 165bhp, with a limited-edition DS 3 Racing creating 207bhp for the fastest speeds.
Diesel
  • 1.6 HDi range offered between 90bhp and 120bhp and outstanding economy of up to 78mpg, depending on the trim.

Practicality

The three-door DS 3 isn't as practical as some larger five-door superminis, but it does have an easy-to-access back seat.

Interior space
  • Front doors open wide for relatively simple access to the rear seat.
  • Back seats are better suited for children.
  • ISOFIX anchor points for securing child seats.
Boot space
  • 285-litre boot offers a decent amount of space, more than the Fiat 500 and MINI Hatch.
  • Rear seat folds down to increase the space to 980 litres.
  • Wide tailgate opening makes it easier to load and unload.
Bodystyles
  • Three-door hatchback is the standard configuration.
  • Convertible top offers a fun drive on warmer days.

Safety

  • Expired Euro NCAP rating was five stars in 2009.
  • Adult occupant rating is 87%, with a safety assist score of 83%.
  • Standard safety kit includes six airbags, ESP stability control, and ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution.

Technology

  • Radio with CD player was standard.
  • Bluetooth connectivity was available for more versatility.
  • Available interior mood colouring can change the ambience.

Citroen DS3 video review

Different generations of used Citroen DS3

Citroen unveiled the DS 3 in 2010 as a premium option in the supermini segment, with a level of design and specification that's not typically found in smaller cars. The DS 3 was extermely well-received by the motoring press and UK car buyers alike, until Citroen decided to split entities between the standard lineup of vehicles and the premium models. This model became part of the DS lineup, and was discontinued in 2019.

Used Citroen DS3 FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the Citroen DS 3?

As the standard mid-range option, the 1.6 VTi petrol was the most popular engine. It outputs 120bhp, so it's not the top of the line, but still offers a decent balance between performance and fuel economy.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

Even though there were some special editions, the Citroen DS 3 came in three standard trims: DSign, DStyle and DSport. The DStyle Plus is among the top choices with some upgraded features over the base trim, including heated mirrors, cruise control, body-coloured bumpers and rear parking sensors.

What optional extras should I look out for?

For a sportier appearance, you should look out for the 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a roof spoiler. Buyers should also look for the optional twin chrome exhaust tips and some chrome exterior pieces. Some examples also came equipped with an uprated sound system.

Is the Citroen DS 3 a good family car?

Because of its three-door design, this Supermini may not be the top choice for a family car, but it's actually better than most in the segment. With wide-opening doors, it's easy to get into the back seat, and the boot is spacious.

Is there a hybrid version of the Citroen DS 3?

During the production years of the Citroen DS 3, there were only petrol and diesel powertrains offered. However, the newer DS 3 lineup through DS Automobiles does have an all-electric version that can travel up to 250 miles per charge.

Is the Citroen DS 3 available as an automatic?

An automatic was offered with select engines, but it's not a popular choice, so it's much harder to find. Most Citroen DS 3 cars have a manual gearbox.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

As a supermini, the Citroen DS 3 comes only with front-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive was never offered as an option, as it isn't needed for everyday city driving.
