DS Automobiles wants to increase the appeal of the
DS3 with a new Black Lezard Edition that will launch later this month. Priced
from £ 19,545 in the United Kingdom, the special edition is limited to
only 100 units, and adds a few features to the supermini, said to be “inspired
by the world of fashion”.
Finished in either Perla Nera Black, Platinum Grey,
Ink Blue, or Whisper Purple, it features a special ‘black reptile skin-effect’
roof, which mimics reptile skin. The limited edition DS3 also features 17-inch
black diamond-cut ‘Aphrodite’ alloy wheels, black look for the side mirrors
casings with a chrome base, and glossy black A pillars as well.
Compared to the regular DS3 models made by Citroen’s
premium sub-brand, the new Lezard Limited Edition benefits from extra equipment
in the cabin too. The list includes the Basalt Black leather upholstery,
leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear knob, glossy black dashboard, and
special leather clutch bag/wallet. Other features include automatic xenon
headlights lights, rain-sensing wipers, electrically folding side mirrors with
heating function, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
Powering the new DS3 Black Lezard is a PureTech
petrol engine, rated at 110 PS and married to a manual transmission.
