\u201cViewed from the side or the rear, DS 3 Crossback is a vehicle of perfect proportions with its large wheels, moderate length and strong on-road stance. From first glance, you can see that it is unlike other cars. Simple, sculptural lines expressing performance and strength, enhanced by a bewitching light signature.\u201d This is how Thierry Metroz, DS Style Director, describes the new model by DS Automobiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div>The car is identifiable at first glance as a premium, compact SUV, with its well-proportioned length of 4.12m, broad on-road stance and large wheels (690mm, 18\u2019\u2019), as well as its ground clearance. At the front, the DS Wings form a finely chiselled setting for the sculpted, vertical lines of the emblematic DS grille. The daytime running lights with their pearl-like vertical LEDs and the tapered headlights of the DS Matrix Led Vision system suggest a contemporary edge and performance. An impression reinforced by the wide ribbed horizontal bonnet.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The rear sits squarely on the road, its broad, powerful shoulders striking an evocative note of imposing style. It is also elegant with a high-tech rear light signature spanning the entire width through a strip featuring the Crossback name.<\/p>\n<\/div>
