DS Automobiles DS F3VER concept unveiling

Overview

DS Automobiles introduced the DS F3VER electric concept car at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. The vehicle serves as a design laboratory to preview the brand’s future aesthetic, featuring a compact silhouette, Y-shaped lighting, and a ‘Design Intelligence’ philosophy that utilizes AI-driven tools to improve efficiency.

Beyond its aesthetic role, the concept signals a strategic shift for the brand. Moving away from the prevailing market trend of SUVs and crossovers, DS Automobiles is returning to the low-profile B-segment hatchback in response to customer feedback.

Future production models based on the STLA One platform, potentially named ‘No3’, are expected to target an electric range of 500 to 550 kilometers. To increase profitability and development speed, the brand aims to reduce component counts by 30% and shorten development cycles from four years to less than two years.

Technical details of the F3VER include dimensions of 4.19 meters in length, 1.85 meters in width, and 1.46 meters in height. The design features a rear assembly with 16 LED panels on a magnesium structure inspired by the Grand Palais in Paris. Personalization options highlighted include a customizable roof ring and a ‘Cosmic Blue’ dichroic paint that shifts between blue and deep purple. The development process leveraged Stellantis’s digital tools and artificial intelligence to accelerate design comparisons and optimize airflow for smoother surfaces.
