Citroen has welcomed the New Year in United Kingdom by launching two special Red editions of the posh DS3 model. These are based on the current DStyle and Dsport trim levels and they add more goodies and different styling cues for a starting price of 15,655 pounds that goes all the way up to 18,060 pounds for the fully-loaded variant. As standard, the car is wearing a Polar White paint but for an extra 480 pounds you can get it with a Perla Nera Black body color. Regardless of the paint choice, all special DS3s have several red accents on the front grille surround, alloy wheel caps, mirrors, roof, door handles and dashboard.
DStyle Red variant gets white or black 17-inch Ashera alloys while the DSport Red model can ride on black or white 17-inch Bellone alloy wheels. Extra goodies worth mentioning include Bluetooth and USB support, a better audio system with additional speakers for the DS3 Style, while the DSport gets rear parking sensors, automatic headlights and wipers, electric heated and folding door mirrors, as well as interior mood lightning, front central armrest and electrochrome rear view mirror.
The Citroen DS3 DStyle Red can be ordered with either a VTi 120 gasoline engine or an e-HDi 90 Airdream diesel. As for the DS3 DSport Red, this can get a THP 155 gasoline engine connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox or a more frugal e-HDi 115 Airdream diesel mated to the same transmission.
