Citroen DS3

Upmarket supermini heralds return of DS badge... and firm's newfound confidence in appeal of its brand.

August 2009

It’s the car that’s meeting the MINI head-on! Citroen stunned the car community when it revealed the upmarket but unusual DS3 concept in Geneva this year, and now the concept is ready to become a reality.

Fortunately the majority of the quirky design cues are likely to make it onto the showroom car, including the option of a vinyl roof. And because of its size and emphasis on style, the three-door only DS3 will be pitched at the Alfa Romeo MiTo and the MINI Clubman, not just the regular hatch.

Alongside the DS3 in Frankfurt will be the all-new five-door C3, the car on which the DS3 is based. Buyers can expect to pay around £12,000 when it goes on sale next March.

WOW

I love this little beauty. Citroen seem to be bringing back the more radical look that was once their trademark. If build quality is right they can not lose
