2019 DS 3 Crossback interior |
In typical French quirky brillance, you got to admit that the exterior styling is very French indeed because if there's one thing to know about French cars, it's the styling that looks like it came out from a mosaic painting and the DS3 Crossback is no exception. Same goes to the interior, which is very French indeed for a luxury crossover. The air-conditioning, for instance, is diamond-shaped and that is very French like a mosaic painting on display at the Louvre and while it looks good in the beginning, some people with trypophobia will think that the interior will make their skins crawl and that's a given idea because the interior is not trypophobia-friendly, although the seats are about as comfortable as solving the Rubik's cube made of marshmallows. Now that's comfort, the French way, and the boot space wasn't bad either.

Although not exciting to drive as the outgoing DS3 hatchback, the DS3 Crossback is somewhat comfortable in luxury car levels and it's easy to get relaxed by the clever dynamics this crossover possess. It's no Citroen C3 Aircross per se but the DS3 Crossback really fits being a city-class car full stop with its healthy balance of quirky styling and decent performance that will soothe your brow all the way home.
There are safety features of course and the DS 3 Crossback comes with the DS DRIVE ASSIST, which regulates vehicle speeds, DS PARK PILOT, DS SMART ACCESS, and advanced safety tech worth noticing for the drivers. It feels like the future's already here with this crossover but in mixed ways.
It's easy to get mixed by the way the DS 3 Crossback looks and feels because of so many reasons to get to know about the crossover that might kill the hatchback in a heartbeat and while it sounds so painful to witness judging by the fact that we are living in an era where SUVs are superheroes on the road, the DS 3 Crossback is all business and leisure for anyone enjoying with it. Love it or hate it, the DS 3 Crossback is as French as it can get.
