DS3 Crossback E-Tense SUV 2020: In-depth review with Nicki Shields / Electrifying

[@mrlukef1]

I love the way it looks and the interior. Ordered one about a month ago and can’t wait to pick it up

[@TheophilusPWildbeest]

Batteries are measured in kilowatt hours (kwh), not kilowatts (kw), that's a very different thing!

[@oceanannahoran]

I’ve been driving this car for a couple of months now and I can’t say I’m in love with it. I charge from home and it takes much longer than the review suggests, and the max range I can get out of it is about 120 miles - just not good enough for any long trip in the Uk. Shame, as it’s lovely to drive and very comfortable.

[@Jonsk111]

120 is a range I could get in the finnish winter.. you are doing something wrong.

[@thomaseriksson3182]

Nice Review!👍 Like this car. Much better soundproofing in DS then in Peugeot e-208. Worth the extra money🙏

[@francoisg3500]

Not sure about the design! If only this car had the design of the DS 7 and was the a baby version!

[@ossxq]

Looks elegant and sophisticated, very alike Lexus UX EV was born😍

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

I wish all presenters would test the range fully before they make a guess with "manufacturer says car does 200 miles but i doubt it will" - maybe they should do some real work rather than rehash marketing materials and apply their "gut feelings" with stuff that can be demonstrated.

[@Preshfaz23]

what trim is the car in the video

[@FormulaWhine]

So is the ~200 mile range only available in Eco mode? What's the realistic range in Sport, which would pretty much be the only mode I'd want to use 😂

[@rickidango8969]

Had I watch your report earlier, Nikki, I wouldn't have ordered my Mokka!

[@tomattime]

Another quality review, the car may not be electrifying in appearance, but the presentation is. Enough corn in this review to cover several of your 5 a day. 😁

[@cjkenning]

Would have been really helpful if you'd actually added the price...

[@oliverstemp9132]

£38k, same as an ID3 but doesn't go as far

[@boyasaka]

Buy a 5000 mile 2 year old one now for £13500 Bargain

[@michael85rs]

cant help but feel like the overall design language of DS models is more on the feminin side (nothing wrong with that ofcourse)

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

Depends on the model. DS7 is way more masculine, as it is also targetted at men: www.jchallidayandsons.com/images/used-cars/24219/MK18LPF1.jpg, DS3 is a city crossover targetted at women. Saying DS is feminine is like saying Volkswagen is a feminine brand, because they produced new beetle, which was targetted at females. But in reality beetle was just one model. BTW Recently released DS9 is also not feminine, their concepts aren't too feminine either: www.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/images/car-reviews/first-drives/legacy/geneva-1-399.jpg

[@4literv6]

Definitely looks like the designers we're into "D/s" 😁

[@oliverstemp9132]

The regular DS3 is great, but the etense is far too expensive, the ID3 costs the same, but goes further.

[@hellmekun]

the dashboard is too much for me, i'll just take e2008 thx

[@mahmoudmostafa2198]

تحليل رائع

[@jamesmccormack3229]

Sadly they should have kept the original DS3 as a small hatchback rival to the mini, sold in millions. Sadly they have lost all those buyers with this, to big, to fussy. If they had kept the original DS3 and then designed a small crossover with out the DS3 design language they cud have made a decent looking small crossover more in line with the DS7, which is a very good looking vehicle.

[@umah.]

What a cute car! Really matching with your costume, nicki.

[@northernirelandfootanklecl1767]

Serious trouser ankle mismatch.

[@BalmforthGG]

If you do not put range in your review. I will not visit your site, i will watch a different video.

[@toyotaprius79]

I liked the DS3 Etense when it first came out (before the 208 iirc). It reminds me (for the wrong reasons) of the Citroën DS4 by its practicality and purpose - being built mostly for small young families with parents who need that Lux in their life. Therefore, the backseats of the DS4 were horrendous, and I fear the same for this electric DS3. In the DS3, I sincerely disliked the window shoulder line, they could've been more fluid and "avant garde" and gave the poor kids of their snob parents a better view from inside the car. At least the DS3 Etense looks nothing like any typical cross over. Here's hoping for a flagship DS6 or DS9 that actually deserves the title of a "Big Citroën" and not something that's meant to appease to German brand tastes.

[@MultiBlue67]

Wish you would get the terminology right in your videos, especially when you are supposed to 'experts'. For example, often saying kilowatt (kW) for the battery size, when it's actually kilowatt-hour (kWh). Giving the right info would be helpful to people new to Electric vehicles coming to this channel for the first time. How can they trust what you're saying when the basics aren't right?

[@mcvicer]

You are fit

[@arunJKC]

Wow

[@macjim]

Looks like a cut and shut car... and an expensive handbag inside.

[@Urgelt]

I'm struggling to comprehend your positivity. It's ugly, just like its siblings. Okay, that's subjective, but come on. It has wretched range, wretched performance, and wretched charging speed. It's barely more than a city car. It's an ICEV conversion, not a purpose-built EV. That not only impedes range and performance, it also results in a higher center of mass, worse handling and a greater danger of flipping the car in an accident. Conversions made sense in 2010, but not now. Luxury appointments on such a car amount to painting a pig. You said little about the tech on board this car. The entertainment system is hard to manage, we got that much. Regenerative braking doesn't work from the accelerator pedal. You didn't mention OTA, screen responsiveness, navigation and remaining range estimation, the range per kilowatt-hour (efficiency), driver assist software, cameras, driver visibility/blind spots, or cargo capacity. You were vague about pricing. You did tell us it has headlights. Thanks. So tell us: why are you so gentle with your review, and why did you leave out so much of interest to consumers? Who is your audience?
