The DS 3 (formerly known as Citroën DS3 and DS 3 Crossback) is a luxury supermini initially produced by the French automobile manufacturer Citroën and officially launched in January 2010.[1] Positioned below the DS 4, this was the first and entry-level model from the DS premium sub-brand (pronounced déesse, which is French for goddess), which was spun-off in 2016 into DS Automobiles.[2]
Originally manufactured as a three-door supermini hatchback with a convertible variation from 2009 to 2019, the second generation became a five-door Crossover SUV, named as DS 3 Crossback from 2018 to 2022.
The model was named "2010 Car of the Year" by Top Gear, awarded first supermini four times in a row by the JD Power Satisfaction Survey UK[3][4][5] and second most efficient supermini (Citroën DS3 1.6 e-HDi 115 Airdream: 63.0 mpg‑imp (4.48 L/100 km)) by What Car? behind the Citroën C3.[6] In 2013, it was again the most sold premium subcompact car with 40% of these market shares in Europe.[citation needed]
