Inovev forecasts 130,000 new DS 3 Crossbacks a year
- The PSA Group has unveiled the new DS 3 Crossback at the Paris Motorshow. This model completes the DS range reduced to DS 3 and DS 7 Crossback since the disappearance of the DS 4 and DS 5 at the beginning of this summer. The DS 3 Crossback is a segment B SUV that should take over from the DS 3 whose origins date back to 2009.
- The new model is the first model based on the PSA Group's CMP platform. It has five doors, while the original DS 3 has only three. It is 7cm (1.53m) taller and 17cm (4.12m) longer than the DS 3, dimensions close to those of Renault Captur. The DS 3 Crossback competes with Renault Captur, Peugeot 2008, Citroen C3 Aircross, Fiat 500X, Opel Mokka, Opel Crossland and Ford Ecosport.
- Manufactured in the PSA factory in Poissy (France), the DS 3 Crossback is equipped with turbo 3-cylinder petrol engines 1.2l (100hp, 130hp, 155hp) and 4 diesel cylinders 1.5 l (100hp, 130hp) which are already mounted on other PSA models. As of October 2019, the DS3 Crossback will also be available in 100% electric version (E-Tense) that will enter into direct competition with the Renault Zoe. This electric motor will then be mounted on the Peugeot 208 and 2008. The autonomy of the DS 3 Crossback electric would be 300 kilometers (WLTP cycle). Inovev expects a production volume of 130,000 units per year of the new DS 3 Crossback at the Poissy site, which will also produce the future Peugeot 2008 as of 2020.
