2012 Citroen DS3

Strengthened by the success of the DS3, which has sold in more 100,000 units, nearly one-third of which the highest trim level, CITROËN is presenting the CITROËN DS3 Ultra Prestige at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The DS3 Ultra Prestige is a bold foray into the world of luxury, featuring premium materials and all-new manufacturing processes in the automotive sector.

The Monogramme décor covering the roof with the DS insignia gives off a range of subtle contrasts, shifting from matte to gloss with changes in the light. The Ultra Prestige model is also fitted exclusively with 17-inch charcoal-grey diamond-effect wheels and “Dark Chrome” finish on the wing mirror housings, door strips and front grille.

Inside, the CITROËN DS3 Ultra Prestige gets the “watchstrap” seat upholstery in club leather specific to DS line models. Front and rear, the upholstery is in semi-aniline leather, of a quality generally reserved for handcrafted, made-to-order creations. The front seats sport a “crescendo” effect entirely new to the automotive sector and inspired by fashion design. Developed using a procedure specially created for this version, the colours of the seats shift gradually from white at the top to black at the base. For the pleasure of the senses, the dashboard insert is covered in “Alpin Weiss” white club leather embossed with a DS logo that also figures on the upper part of the front seats. In a further meticulous touch, the colour of the dials on the instrument cluster matches the white of the interior detailing. The sophisticated CITROËN DS3 Ultra Prestige is equipped with ultra-thick protective mats braided with double stitching in contrasting colours. And for enhanced onboard harmony, club leather is also fitted on the door panels and central armrest.

Following styling interpretations from Yves Saint-Laurent, Kenzo and Orla Kiely, the CITROËN DS3 is now available in a new Hickory brown body colour and with adhesive roof decoration, designed by the Italian winner of the CITROËN Creative Awards. The Marque is also revealing ‘Grey Matter’, a limited edition DS3 produced in just 750 units.

One of the most attractive features of the CITROËN DS3 is its radical, seductive style, which becomes exclusive in a variety of personalized styles. For the summer season, the CITROËN DS3 is sporting new Hickory brown body paint in addition to the ten existing colours. CITROËN has also introduced a new decorative sticker theme, Flavio, 100% inspired by the winning roof of the CITROËN Creative Awards. The abstract, gold adhesive decoration is named after its designer. The brand has thus delivered on its promises by marketing the winning project from its first international design competition. The CITROËN DS3 is a decidedly individual and original automotive object.

For customers who aspire to something even more exclusive, the CITROËN DS3 is now available in a special limited series of 750 cars called ‘Grey Matter’. The special series model features a matte grey body with chrome detailing on the side mirrors, side strips and tail light casings. The roof comes in black or white, enhanced by a decorative kit and 17-inch diamond alloy wheels in the same colours. The interior features Mistral leather and a MyWay Select Comfort Pack, which includes automatic climate control, the MyWay navigation system and the HiFi system. Two petrol engines are available for an exclusive driving experience: the VTi 120 and the THP 150, priced at €23,400 and €24,950 ex-VAT respectively.

The CITROËN DS3 boasts an irresistible power of attraction and has already won a number of distinctions. The latest is “Women’s World Car of the Year”, voted in April by a panel of 14 female journalists and racing drivers from around the world. The criteria were safety, design, storage space, driving ease and environmental features – all decisive factors for women when they buy a car.
