  • 2014 Citroen DS3 Hatch And Cabrio Facelift Revealed

    2014 Citroen DS3 and DS3 Cabrio models are getting upgraded via a range of enhancements, but the most important one is the adoption of the new high-tech light signature. The two variants of the car are also receiving brand new Active City Brake technology, range of Euro6-compliant engines and additional personalization features. The new hypnotic gaze of the facelifted DS 3 is due to its new headlights, which feature the combination of LED and Xenon lightning technologies with new sequential indicators.

    The new headlights deliver greater visibility in both low- and high-beam positions. To go further into details, three LED modules and a Xenon module were utilized for the design of this wide and uniform beam.

    What is more, the headlights also minimize the energy consumption by 35% when they operate in low-beam mode and by 75% – in high-beam. They are capable of life time of over 20,000 hours, or in other words – twenty times longer than halogen lights.

    Citroen disclosed that the new headlights were inspired by the Numéro 9 and Wild Rubis concept cars. They include independent modules, which resemble diamonds in their setting. The DS 3 has also been fitted with innovative sequential indicators.

    The LED DRLs in the front air intakes completes the new light signature. Facelifted DS3 models also feature 3D-effect LED rear lights and chrome-finish DS logo in a black embossed DS setting.

  • Step Out Of Line: Citroen DS3 [VIDEO]

    Citroen-ds3-ad-THUMBThe newest Citroen DS3 advertisement, named “Step Out Of Line” reflects the non-conformist stance of the DS line. In fact, through this commercial the brand aims to motivate everyone to express their own personality.

    The ad was filmed in some of the most famous streets of Paris – Boulevard Haussman, Place des Victoires, Pont de l’Europe, which were closed specially for the occasion. In addition, it also includes a cast of almost 250 extras wearing 500 costumes.

    As one can see, the clip shows hundreds of men and women that are all marching in step in military-style parades. Whether they are businessmen, elegant women or fashion victims, what is common between them is that they are all strictly identical and march in tune to the music by DiscoBitch.

    The parade continues until “Step out of Line” appears. At this point the Citroen DS3s and DS3 Cabrios, which are all different, make their appearance. The different combinations of bodywork, wheels, roofs and upholstery, emphasize that the vehicle are customizable and express individuality – in other words, they refuse to be submit the established codes.
