DS 3 kept the shark-fin B-pillar and the floating roof that made it stand out when it launched, and by 2017 it wore the DS badge on the grille rather than the Citroen chevrons. Underneath is the 1.2 PureTech, a 1,199 cc three-cylinder that won International Engine of the Year in its class three years running. It makes 82 bhp and 107 g/km of CO2, and being a Euro 6 petrol it is ULEZ compliant.
At 3,948 mm the DS 3 is a supermini you can thread through London, but the proportions do more work than the size suggests. The dark roof runs into tinted rear glass, the wheels are finished dark, and the LED strip sits low in the front bumper. It is why a car this small still reads as something rather than as transport.
The centre console carries the touchscreen with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth hands-free and USB and AUX inputs, so your phone connects once and stays connected. Air conditioning, cruise control with a speed limiter, a leather multifunction steering wheel, a front armrest and split-folding rear seats fill in the rest. This one has covered 74,384 miles, with service history and one previous owner.
