Detailed analysis of the DS 3 BlueHDi 100 S&S Desire · 99 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The DS 3 BlueHDi 100 S&S Desire is much more than a car; it's a statement of intent. Born in 2016 to conquer the city with unmistakable style and surprising efficiency, this small premium French utility vehicle appeals directly to the emotions, offering a driving experience that combines Parisian chic with surprising rationality thanks to its low-consumption diesel engine.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 3 feels agile and full of life. Its 99 horsepower and, above all, its 254 Nm of torque from low revs, give it an energetic and decisive response, perfect for moving smoothly through traffic. It's not a pure sports car, but its lightness and five-speed manual gearbox convey a gratifying connection to the asphalt. The feeling of being able to travel for miles and miles with a ridiculously low consumption of 3.4 l/100km generates deep satisfaction and unparalleled freedom.
Design and aesthetics
Design is the soul of the DS 3. Every line and every detail is designed to seduce and stand out. Its three-door silhouette, the floating roof, and the characteristic 'shark fin' on the B-pillar create a bold and sophisticated image. It's a car that doesn't go unnoticed, a small gem that reflects the personality of its driver and transforms every journey into a parade of elegance and modernity.
Technology and features
The technology of the DS 3 focuses on efficiency and comfort. The heart of the system is its BlueHDi engine, a work of diesel engineering that, together with the Stop & Start system, minimizes consumption and emissions in the urban environment. Although it doesn't have the giant screens of current models, its equipment in the Desire trim offered a refined and well-connected environment for its time, prioritizing an intuitive and pleasant user experience over digital ostentation.
Competition
In the exclusive premium utility segment, the DS 3 faced titans like the MINI Cooper D and the Audi A1. While the MINI banked on its iconic design and 'go-kart' handling, and the Audi on its sobriety and German build quality, the DS 3 stood out with its avant-garde French design, superior ride comfort, and a fuel efficiency that few could match, offering an alternative with a unique and captivating character.
Conclusion
The DS 3 BlueHDi 100 is a passionate purchase with a very rational basis. It is the perfect car for those who want to stand out and enjoy every kilometer without their wallet suffering at the gas station. Its design captivates and its engine convinces, creating an almost perfect balance between aesthetic pleasure and economic logic. It is, in short, a smart indulgence, a travel companion that brings style, savings, and a constant smile.
