Jonny was invited over to the congestion capital of the world (Paris), by DS to view their latest electric version of the DS3 Crossback.
Whilst DS is the luxury side of Citroen, in the PSA group, Jonny can't help but compare it to the rest of the available EV's out there.
Will its 'luxury' and unique design elements help this car stand out in a world of higher range, same sector cars?
We couldn't keep making the show without our supporters, thank you all!

Loved this video, and I’ve watched every Fullycharged Episode going and have been an early supporter of the channel. Thank you Jonny, that was an excelled, balanced preview of the car and its pluses and minuses, something I’d been aware of and felt us EV evangelists have been guilty of over recent years is just shouting about how great EVs are whenever one was released.But that battle is now won, EVs are undoubtedly the future, and with the increase of them on the market its more and more important to be critical of them as well as praise them. Personally I think PSA has styling totally on point of late, and I’m loving what they’re putting out from an aesthetic perspective, but feel they get the tech wrong, frequently the wrong engines in their cars etc. Think this is a good solid step forward for PSA, but until they get a good skateboard design I can’t see me recommending one to people with that compromised space in the back and boot.

When he popped what is commonly referred to as a 'frunk' I was saddened to see the lack of space. I understand why they're doing it this way, as Jonny says it's to enable them to scale production and keep it all on the same line. It's like they're just dipping their toe in and not fully committing. I just hope that enough people buy PSA BEV anyway so they'll fully commit for the next production marques.

It’s a shame that the question about renewable/recycled materials was dodged, I think it shows a lack of understanding from the established players in the combustion engine market.

The reason they don't use skateboard platforms is because they want to make them on the same production line as the ICE/hybrid versions. The reason for that is simple, the market is not there yet when it comes to pure EVs and it wont be for a few years atleast. What you are saying about the recycled materials I agree with though new production of plastic materials needs to end soon, cruelty free materials I don't really know what it is but I guess leather and as long as people eat meat we might aswell use the skin, it would be a waste otherwise.

My take: I'd rather have a hatchback than any of the crossover / suvs. When did all the manufacturers come together and decide that the front ends had to look like something from Star Wars? And third, too expensive. Fourth, way too many diamonds. I think they took that design detail too far, a lot too far.

I wonder when companies will start getting creative again. Truly creative, as in designing the exterior around the benefits of the interior, making a car more functional with all the space electric components no longer need. Minivans would be amazing electrically - flat floor and no bonnet are easy. You could have so much interior space. Instead we keep getting more and more stupid little crossovers with little interior space and a massive body on the outside.

I hope the boom of EVs in 2020 will 'force' DS to adjust their prices - or the range - but untill then I'm already beginning to look forward to a DS4 E-tense or a fully electric DS7.

That touch screen responsiveness, I agree, is more important than a lot of auto manufacturers understand (ICE or EV).

It needs to respond IMMEDIATELY to your touch, especially if you are accessing the screen while you're driving.

Most people, I’m guessing, who spend money on luxury brands want to be seen spending money on luxury brands.

They need to (and they can) do everything.

Acceleration or sharpness isn't what Citroën is about. It's about comfort. Actually, even more than comfort it's about ease of driving. It's little details like a "dark" button on the center console that turns off all lights except the speedometer. Very nice while driving in the dark. It's about things you're doing semi-automatically while driving in other cars that get taken care of, or pushed to the background. It's about being able to drive for 10 hours without getting tired. You really need to drive one to understand it. And sure, even then it's possible this brand isn't for you, that's fine. We're all different and that gives the world color.

I like the ideas they have but the price and range need to keep up, big time! Keep it up DS

i like how the representative of DS tries to explain, how matrix lights works. A couple years old technology is something extraordinary for luxury brand of Citroen with pretty expensive price tag.

The French have a different way of looking at luxury, than - say - the Germans. For them it's quirky styling with bits and bobs all over the place, unusual textures and materials. Yet there are manually adjusted seats, no powered tailgate, not even a hydraulic bonnet. Why would you cut corners like that in a luxury brand?

I think they're trying to copy the VAG model. DS = luxury (kinda Audi?), Peugeot = Sporty (SEAT), I think they'll position Opel/Vauxhall as a more staid middle ground like VW, Citroen for a bit more quirk and now they have FCA, FIAT will become the Skoda. Who knows if it will work though... historically all those brands have occupied similar space and are all much of a muchness. Will be interesting to see if they can separate them out into some kind of distinct pecking order like VAG have achieved. This car is absolutely gopping though. And far too expensive.

I see your point. But for people like me who have original DS3 14' e-hdi this car is great. I know that range is not so great etc, but man how it's looks! It's a big LOOOKER car. Inside is beautiful, as quality I hope. For me it's great car to go aroud town, park for free and have nice, silent place to stay in traffic jam in Cracow. My diesel have big range but I need it only when I go on vacations trips aroud Europe and only reason for that I bought diesel 4 years ago. Now it's not my must-have, I preffer to have silent and comfortable car with great desing. PS. nice shoes ;)

Whatever this excellent review concludes.....it's great to see Citröen doing what they do best again, they really did lose their way for quite a few years. Cars that are quirky, slightly 'mad' whilst being brilliant in many ways, flawed - but forgiven - and above all, different. If you truly get what real Citroens were about and this car evokes memories of some truly inspired cars for a buyer they'll pay for this regardless of price. No one is forcing anyone to part with their cash. If you're someone who likes to show that they themselves as different to the herd for example..... Great to see something visually individual, even if they aren't calling it what it is. A Citroën.

So much love for this channel! With regards to the car... Bit of a mixed bag. How can you suggest the brands main objective is a quality, luxurious item, when it has manual seats, a manual tailgate and the same looking plastics as seen from the French brands for years. £40k! Get out of here. Every Citroen I've ever traveled in has been comfortable, so you don't need to spend that sort of money. Perhaps the lower spec'd models are the sweet-spot in the range. I like the design, but that's about it.

@@carlosandleon 😂 Very clever Carlos. I bet you've been itching to use that analogy haven't you. After all, it sounded so cool when you read it. 😉 However, as a rebuttal of the premise of your pithy retort, I have never owned an SUV nor am I in any way "offended" as you are suggesting. My original comment is what is known as an "opinion" and, despite you inferring otherwise, It is not directed at "other peoples buying decisions" but rather the general design of a range of inanimate objects. 🤔 Hardly cause for a snide personal attack you would think. 🤷‍♂️ But then, such incidents tend to say more about the character of the instigator than their target. 😉👍
