Detailed analysis of the DS 3 e-HDi 90 ETG6 Style · 92 CV (2014-2015)
General description
The 2014 DS 3 is not just a car, it's a statement of intent. Born to challenge the status quo of premium superminis, this little French car radiates a charm and sophistication that captivate you from the first glance. It's the perfect fusion of Parisian avant-garde and automotive engineering, a vehicle that promises a different, more personal, and distinguished experience.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 3 e-HDi 90 offers a journey of contrasts. Its 92-horsepower diesel engine is a marvel of efficiency, whispering on the road and asking for very little in return at the gas station. You'll feel smart for its low consumption. However, the ETG6 automated manual gearbox is the soul of the controversy; its operation is slow and sometimes hesitant, robbing some of the fluidity expected in the city. Despite this, its agile chassis and precise steering invite you to enjoy the curves, conveying a sense of control and fun that brings a smile to your face.
Design and aesthetics
The design is its love letter to the world. Every line of the DS 3 has been sculpted to seduce. The iconic 'shark fin' on the central pillar, the floating roof, and its feline gaze with LED daytime running lights create an unmistakable and bold silhouette. It's a canvas on wheels, designed to be personalized and to reflect the personality of its driver. Entering its cabin is to continue that aesthetic journey, with careful details that make you feel you're in a special place, different from everything else.
Technology and features
For its time, the DS 3 integrated technology designed for comfort and efficiency. The Stop & Start system, part of the e-HDi technology, was remarkably smooth and effective, contributing to its urban and ecological character. The equipment of the Style version included elements that made life on board more pleasant, such as a quality sound system and basic connectivity. Although its screen may seem modest today, at the time it represented a modern and functional control center for a car in its segment.
Competition
In the exclusive club of aspirational superminis, the DS 3 faced titans. The MINI Cooper D was its most direct rival, with a sportier driving feel and an iconic legacy. The Audi A1 played the card of German sobriety and impeccable interior quality. And we can't forget the Alfa Romeo MiTo, which, like the DS 3, appealed to the heart with its passionate Italian design. Against them, the DS 3 defended its place with a unique style and hard-to-match diesel efficiency.
Conclusion
The DS 3 e-HDi 90 ETG6 is an emotional purchase, a sensible indulgence. It's the perfect car for those who want to stand out, for those who value design and efficiency over pure performance. Its beauty will charm you every morning, and its low consumption will take care of your wallet. Although the automated gearbox requires an adaptation period and doesn't offer the best experience, the overall package is a car with an undeniable soul, a small piece of French haute couture to move on the asphalt.
