It doesn’t happen very often, but French premium brand DS Automobiles has unveiled a brand new car. Called No8, it’s a super-luxurious coupé-SUV with a mega electric range, and it’ll go on sale next year with a predicted price tag of between £45,000 and £72,000. However, what if you want a slice of Gallic luxury, but can’t stretch to that?

This offer could be the answer. It’s for the posh DS 3 crossover which can be had for as little as £195.62 a month. Available from Xcite Car Leasing DS through the Auto Express Find a Car service, the deal covers a 36-month contract and requires an initial payment of £2,617.49, then that low monthly price. Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year, but can be pushed up to 8,000 for an extra £11.49 a month.

For that you’ll get a punchy 128bhp 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine and eight-speed automatic gearbox with sporty Performance Line trim. This spec gets you Alcantara upholstery, a 10.3-inch touchscreen, a seven-inch digital driver’s display, wireless smartphone integration, along with 17-inch alloys and black exterior detailing. 

The DS 3 really stands out on account of its design. The exterior styling is distinctive, while the interior has a premium look and feel – it’s really like nothing else on the road.  

While the DS 3 shares a lot of its mechanicals with its sister cars from Peugeot and Vauxhall, there is a greater focus on comfort. The DS 3 has a supple ride, lofty driving position and is an easy car to drive.
