DS F3VER: the concept car that previews the future of DS Automobiles’ design was unveiled in Paris

Customisation plays a central role in the design, starting with the Cosmic Blue dichroic paint finish, which shifts from blue to purple depending on the light. The two-tone bodywork features a colour-split line that extends right to the rear, whilst a decorative ring on the roof offers a further customisation option.

The rear light animations also help to define the car’s identity and can be used to convey information through visual signals.

Finally, the geometrically designed rims, embellished with champagne-coloured details and Clous de Paris engraving, complete a look that blends artisanal influences with contemporary design.

Alongside its stylish design, the DS F3VER prioritises practicality. The 2.70-metre wheelbase allows for optimal use of the interior space, whilst the 400-litre boot offers a load capacity comparable to that of cars in higher segments. The aim is to combine urban agility, touring comfort and versatility, with an electric powertrain and a range that the manufacturer claims is at the top of its class, although no further technical details have been disclosed.

The ‘Design Intelligence’ philosophy, on the other hand, translates into design choices aimed at reducing the number of components and simplifying the architecture: the front light cluster integrates the headlamp and daytime running lights, the bumpers feature a monobloc structure, and additional plastic elements around the wheel arches and on the lower part of the bodywork have been removed. Cleaner surfaces and less visible joints thus help to enhance the perception of quality, whilst also delivering benefits in terms of production and the environment.

The digital tools and artificial intelligence developed by Stellantis support the work of designers, speeding up the exploration of new solutions without replacing creativity.
