The 2024 DS 3 is a battery-electric SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the Gen 2 generation. The E-Tense is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured E-Tense version develops 156 hp and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.7 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 150 km/h (93 mph). Its power output is about 52% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 37% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 54.0 kWh. The recorded electric range is 402 km (250 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 13.4 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 100 kW. Its listed range is about 17% below the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,118 mm (162.1 in) in length, 1,790 mm (70.5 in) in width, and 1,520 mm (59.8 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,560 mm (100.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 343 litres (12.1 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,560 kg (3,439 lb). That cargo volume is about 36% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of E-Tense and E-TENSE. Across the range, the specifications span 156 hp, 8.7 s to 9.0 s, and 402 km, while listed starting prices run from $38,900-$39,500. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric SUV models from the same period, the 2024 DS 3 is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
