First seen at the Paris Motor Show last year, DS has released full UK pricing and specification for the all-new DS 3 Crossback hatch that goes on sale in May.

A very different car to the previously Citroën-badged hatch, the new DS 3 Crossback boasts a more practical five-door body and SUV stance. More interesting is the DS 3 Crossback is the first PSA product to be built on the company’s all-new Common Modular Platform (CMA), which is made for electrification and hence ‘E-Tense’ named fully electric versions will follow soon after launch.

Elegance is the entry-level trim, priced from £21,550 and includes 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, keyless go, air conditioning, 7.0-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth and DAB. Performance-Line is next up, priced from £22,950, and adds dark tinted rear windows, LED rear lights, cloth and Alcantara interior trim, leather-trimmed steering wheel and Aluminium pedals.

Prestige starts from £24,950 and has automatic air conditioning, auto wipers, two USB ports, front parking sensors, a 10.0-inch HD touchscreen, DS Connected 3D Navigation and Wi-Fi, Black Basalt leather trim and bronze dash trim.

The range topping Ultra Prestige adds 18-inch alloy wheels, head-up display, keyless entry and start, matrix LED headlamps, reversing camera, black Nappa leather in watchstrap design, driver’s seat with electric lumbar adjustment and massage function, and is priced from £30,950.

There’s also an aptly titled ‘La Premier’ launch edition priced from £32,450 and available from launch in May, until late this year, which adds the Premium Advanced Safety Pack, active cruise control, high beam assist and wireless phone charging.
