标致雪铁龙旗下豪华品牌DS的两款车型DS4和DS5由于市场需求太低而停产后,车厂还将推出DS3。该车在欧洲B级CUV市场竞争车型主要是奥迪Q2,DS3无论内装还是外观都将完全不同。最近谍照记者拍到了D3原型车,它的车身进行了重度伪装,不过这次记者拍到了车辆内装。该车内部随处可见的菱形元素对于DS5车迷来说非常熟悉,从内装照片看,中控台布局与更大DS7相比有很大不同。它采用了让人既爱又恨平板电脑风格独立信息娱乐系统,非常接近更大车型采用的12英寸显示屏。在显示屏下面可以看到三个菱形仪表群和很多物理按键,而空调出风口在中控台的位置更低一些。这确实是一个很有趣的布局,让这辆DS3 Crossback拥有了很前卫的内装。同时在驾驶员正前方,车厂还设计了全数字仪表群。至于外观,车尾右侧可见排气尾管,这表明该车搭载的是普通内燃机引擎。不过,DS强烈暗示会增加一款纯电动车型,消费者不必等太久就会看到这款车。DS未来几个月甚至几周之后就会发布这款车,预计该车将在巴黎车展首次亮相。这款零排放车型将搭载50千瓦时电池,续航里程可达450公里。DS3Crossback计划于明年上市,到2021年,标致雪铁龙将四款豪华跨界车,而DS3将是其中之一。
2019 DS3 Sportback Spied Inside And Out
PSA Automobiles’ DS luxury division is gearing up to introduce the DS3 shortly after terminating the DS4 and DS5 models because of poor demand. The chic new crossover will go after the Audi Q2 and will bring a breath of fresh air into Europe’s crowded B-segment CUV market with a totally different design inside and out. Annoyingly, the prototype caught by our spies was still carrying a lot of camouflage, but at least we get to see a good chunk of the dashboard.
The diamond interior theme should be familiar to fans of the DS and the former Citro?n DS-badged models and we can see the center console is significantly different than that of the larger DS7 Crossback. It has that love/hate tablet-styled infotainment system with a display a lot smaller compared to the 12-inch setup of its bigger brother. Three clusters shaped like diamonds host a myriad of physical buttons and these are joined by the central air vents mounted slightly lower on the center console. It’s certainly an interesting arrangement and gives the DS3 Crossback an avant-garde interior. We can’t quite see it, but it looks like the driver has a fully digital instrument cluster in front of him.
Stepping outside of the vehicle, the exhaust tip on the right side of the rear bumper signals the near-production prototype was powered by a combustion engine. However, DS has strongly hinted the posh crossover will be offered in a fully electric specification and we actually won’t have to wait much longer to see it. The EV will premiere in the weeks or months to come, prior to showing up in the metal at the Paris Motor Show early October. The zero-emissions variant will allegedly come with a 50-kWh battery pack with enough juice 280 miles (450 kilometers).
The DS3 Crossback is scheduled to go on sale in 2019 and will be one of the four crossovers the PSA’s premium arm will have by 2021.
