DS 3 Engines and Transmissions

DS 3 engine choices include gasoline examples such as the Cabrio’s manual 1.6 MT and automatic 1.2 AT, plus the three-door hatchback’s 1.2 DSG with a robotic transmission. These examples use front-wheel drive. The manual gives you control over shifts; both automated options remove clutch-pedal work, though you should assess their low-speed smoothness on a test drive.

DS 3 Trims and Equipment

For the three-door 1.2 AT, DS 3 trim levels include Be Chic and So Chic: equipment choices paired with the same named powertrain version. Compare the actual cars for comfort features, infotainment and parking aids, since the trim name alone does not establish every fitted feature or optional extra.
