The model
Read full DS 3 E-Tense reviewGoing electric has fixed some of the weak points of the DS 3 – but not all of them. It’s quieter, for example, and a little less fractious along bumpy roads. Objectively, though, rivals such as the Kia Niro EV and Tesla Model 3 have a longer range, are better to drive and are much more practical.
The trim

The engine
See full engine specsThe all-electric E-Tense feels strong on the road and is very quiet, too. It's not cheap, but should give you 200 miles of real-world range.
