Construction and quality of materials.
He New DS3 is based on the latest generation CMP platform for provides optimum safety, driving pleasure and comfort. At the same time, this “multi-power” platform can accept an all-electric powertrain, with no loss in performance or compromise on cabin space or luggage space..
In it New SD 3 New design and assembly processes were implemented, with the aim of maximizing the quietness of driving inside, as well as improving safety. New component welding technique offers increased rigidity by 30%, while bolted components are increased by 10% and replace bonded components, while special materials are used between joints to help minimize friction, thereby that eliminates unwanted noise in the cabin. At the same time, it is the only car in its category. standard rear side airbags (chest) in addition to the roof (head) airbags.
Finally, the use of innovative materials, such as very high-strength steel and aluminum composites combined with the use of compact, high-performance powertrains (known as “reduced”) help reduce vehicle weight. As a result he northeo SD 3 has a reduced environmental footprint, reduced fuel consumption and improved drag coefficient (-5 to -8dm2) compared to its predecessor.
new exterior design

technological superiority
He northeo SD 3It is the first class B vehicle of the Stellantis group to incorporate the new SD IRISSYSTEM, found in DS 4 and DS 7. The intuitive new infotainment system is fully customizable with widgets, offers 3D navigation and includes a personal assistant, IRIS, which recognizes natural speech. In addition, the new infotainment system provides the wireless Mirror Screen function (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay).
The high-resolution 10.3” central touchscreen, standard across the model range, is divided into 12 (2×6) cells (depending on vehicle equipment), while widget sizes range from 1 to 8 cells, providing easy access to all driving essentials. functions Below the screen, the center console retains its striking design, using touch controls designed in the recognizable style of the DS emblem, which have been modified for improved ergonomics.
At the same time, the 7” instrument panel is divided into 2 zones and redesigned based on the brand’s new standards. Finally, your flyer northnew SD 3 it now incorporates controls for the ADAS systems, gear shift paddles and controls for key functions of the new infotainment system.
In addition to next-generation infotainment, in northeo SD 3 We find technological innovations, both in the basic equipment and in the optional equipment of the model, some of them exclusive to the SUV Premium B category:
- SD MATRIX leds VISION: The DS MATRIX LED VISION headlights of the New DS 3 consist of 3 LED headlights for low beam mode and one MATRIX BEAM headlight for high beam mode, consisting of 15 independent LED units. These units gradually turn on and off based on the environment and driving, which are scanned by a camera mounted on top of the windshield.
- SD DRIVE ASSIST: The semi-autonomous DS DRIVE ASSIST system is one step closer to autonomous driving. This innovative equipment adjusts the speed and the distance with respect to the preceding vehicle and precisely positions the New DS 3 in the lane chosen by the driver acting on the steering wheel. Of course, it allows the driver to regain control of the car at any time.
- KEYLESS ENTRY AND STARTING SYSTEM: At a distance of 3 meters, the vehicle recognizes the driver’s key and the headlights come on. At a distance of 1.5 meters, the vehicle unlocks, the door handles pop out and the mirrors open automatically. Finally, when the driver moves within 2 meters of the vehicle, the door handles and mirrors fold in and the vehicle locks automatically.

Engines: E-TENSE technology
since its creation DS Automobiles In 2014, electrification is a firm priority for the brand, which is evidenced by its participation in the Formula-E championship starting in the 2015-2016 season. All the knowledge gained from DS Automobiles’ involvement in Formula E was used to create the northnew SD 3 my–TENSE.
He New SD 3 my–TENSE It is the first Stellantis Group model to feature a powerful new battery, with a capacity of 54kWh (useful capacity 50.8kWh), with a new chemical composition that significantly improves energy density (220 litres, energy density record). At the same time, liquid circulation thermal management and the heat pump allow the battery to be recharged quickly, optimizing autonomy and increasing useful life. The new battery can be recharged from 0 to 80% in 25 minutes with a 100 kW DC fast charger, while with an 11 kW AC 3-phase wallbox it can be fully charged in approximately 5 hours.
In addition, the placement of the new compact battery between the front and rear seats, under the central tunnel and the special construction of the rear axle, allow the New SD 3 my–Tense maintain all the advantages of internal combustion engine vehicles (comfortable space for rear passengers, large luggage space, identical driving position to internal combustion vehicles, etc.).
At the same time, the new HSM (Hybrid Synchronous Motor), manufactured in Trémery, France by the new joint venture between NIDEC and Stellantis, offers a power of 115 kW (156 hp) and a torque of 260 Nm, immediately available to the driver. and guarantees maximum driving pleasure with zero emissions.
The new battery combined with the aerodynamic optimization increases the autonomy of the vehicle up to 404 kilometers in the WLTP combined cycle, while its driver New SD 3 my–Tense have at your disposal up to 575 kilometers of autonomy in urban environment (WLTP).
The New DS 3 range is completed with the BlueHDi 130 engine with EAT8 automatic transmission and two PureTech 100 gasoline engines with 6-speed manual transmission and PureTech 130 with EAT8 automatic transmission.
