Citroen released the first official details and pictures of a facelift version of the DS3 and DS3 Cabrio. Available from July, the new-look DS3 has one big highlight and that is some high-tech headlights it’s rocking, featuring LED and Xenon modules.
The lights on the Citroen DS3 Facelift are inspired by those of the Numéro 9 and Wild Rubis, and apart from offering exceptional lighting performance, give the car a distinctive look at the front. What’s more, the LED/Xenon combo is very energy efficient, consuming 35% lower in dipped mode and 75% lower in high-beam mode, and has a much longer lifetime (20,000 hours).
As is usual for the DS brand, Citroen DS3 Facelift comes with even more personalization possibilities. Pearl white and belle blue are added to the options list along with 17” diamond-cut alloy wheels on selected models.
As for the changes with more substance, there are two new Euro 6 diesel engines including the BlueHDi 120 and BlueHDi 100. The former is rated at 94g/km CO2-wise and the latter only 78. Some markets also get a new PureTech e-VTi 82 ETG petrol unit with 69mpg and 95g/km.
