Sculpted owing forms reect Citroën
DS3’s rened dynamic performance, yet
we’ve maintained a taught compactness
in the prole. We were keen to create
elements of genuine surprise within its
design character as well, clearly epitomised
by the dramatic shark n B pillar – like
the design as a whole, that shape is fast
becoming a bit of an icon.

You become one with Citroën DS3 when
you get in and drive. A big part of that
process is about true comfort – it’s in the
high quality materials that surround you
and that you touch, the layout of the
controls, the technology… there’s an
engineered renement that begins
at ground level and is appealing in
every sense.

When we created Citroën DS3, we aimed
to provide maximum freedom for
individual expression – to make it the
antithesis of ‘me too’ and generic design.
I believe it raises the bar for this kind of
personal creative involvement, because
the unique character and charisma of the
car demand that you make it yours.

I think there’s an innate desirability about
Citroën DS3. There are all kinds of
unmistakable style cues that simply belong
to this car – that you won’t nd anywhere
else. True style grabs your attention – either
at a glance or up close: it’s in the magnetism
of the whole – its street presence – and in all
the details.

INSTANTLY ICONIC. CITROËN DS3 CREATES
ITS OWN CLASS AND A NEW TRADITION.

AND SENSE OF MOVEMENT, THANKS TO
INSPIRING DESIGN SURFACES AND SHAPES.
THE WHOLE PROFILE IS ROBUST AND CHUNKY, YET SMOOTH AND REFINED. A UNIQUE
‘SHARK FIN’ B PILLAR SWEEPS TOWARDS THE ‘FLOATING’ ROOFLINE, WHILE TWO ROWS
OF SPARKLING LEDS CAN FLANK THE AGGRESSIVE, ROAD HUGGING LOWER GRILLE AND
SPOTLIGHTS. THE CHROME UPPER GRILLE ELEGANTLY INCORPORATES THE DOUBLE
CHEVRON. TAKE TIME TO LOOK FROM ANY ANGLE AND YOU’LL FIND SURPRISES,
ORIGINAL IDEAS AND DELIGHTFUL DETAILS: A DESIGN ICON FOR NOW.

THE 16” OR 17” ALLOYS CAN BE PURE METAL OR PAINTED, AND AN EXCITING SELECTION OF ROOF GRAPHICS IS

FEWER THAN 10 STUNNING BODY COLOUR
CHOICES AND 4 CONTRASTING SHADES FOR
THE FLOATING ROOF PANEL, THE POTENTIAL
FOR PERSONAL EXPRESSION IS VAST.
