MRS. EV IS UNLEASHED. DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE REVIEW: PART 2

EV Channels Review

This review of the DS 3 Crossback E-tense is overwhelmingly negative, with both reviewers expressing strong dissatisfaction after a month of ownership. Key criticisms include a dangerously aggressive lane-keep assist system that nearly caused an accident, poor visibility due to small windows and design elements, a cramped and dark interior, and a general lack of premium feel despite its price point. The infotainment system is described as confusing and counter-intuitive, with difficulty accessing basic functions like the radio. The inability to easily check the battery percentage is highlighted as a significant flaw for an EV. While the reviewers acknowledge faster charging and comfortable seats, these positives are overshadowed by the car's numerous perceived faults, leading to a definitive verdict that the DS 3 Crossback E-tense is not worth its price and is a missed opportunity, especially when compared to more affordable and enjoyable EVs like the Kia Niro, Nissan Leaf, and even the Mazda MX-30.
