The Citroen DS3 will cost from £11,700 and order books are open now.

The DS3 comes with a choice of three petrol engines and two diesels, along with three trims: Dsign, Dstyle and Dsport.

The Mini-rival's petrol range kicks off with a 93bhp 1.4. There are also two 1.6 petrols with either 118bhp or 148bhp. All three were co-developed with BMW.

The DS3's 1.6 diesel engines come with either 88- or 108bhp.

Dsign
Dsign trim is available only with the lowest-powered petrol engine and comes with: • stability control
• cruise control
• MP3/CD player with steering wheel-mounted controls

However, Dsign models miss out on air-conditioning.

Dstyle
Dstyle models get:
• air-con
• leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearknob
• LED lights
• interior 'mood' lighting

Dsport
Dsport models get:
• climate control
• Bluetooth
• carbonfibre-effect trim on the dashboard

However, there are a host of options and packs that Citroen will offer to allow buyers to customise their car.

The car goes on sale in the UK in the spring.
