Upgrading and a bit confused

[Goonerman1]

I have just put in my order for a new DS3 1.6BlueHDi Prestige. I am upgrading from my DS3 1.6 e-HDi Airdream Style Plus. I'm a bit confused as all the models now have new names. Is this new upgrade the equivalent of what was the DS3 Sport?? I have been told by Citroen that it is but was hoping someone on here could clarify for me

In order of spec, as I understand it:

New name = Old name.
Chic = DSign
Elegance = DStyle
Prestige = DSport
Ultra Prestige = Ultra Prestige
Performance = Racing

I'm sure Biggy will clarify if I'm wrong.

Prestige is a kind of middle ground between DStyle Plus and DSport. It has a choice of 110 (auto) or 130 (manual) BHP petrol engines, non-turbo, or 100 BHP diesel turbo. Not as nippy as the DSports but a nice power output nonetheless

Not Correct sorry! There is a 165 THP Petrol Prestige available which is the DSport equivalent. Check the Citroen Configurator.

Bang on, in regards to spec the new Prestige actually has more "kit" compared to the old Sports and with a bigger choice of engines. The main thing is that you will be keeping your "auto" pack which I know a few customers are unwilling to give up on.

Thanks guys. It's all a lot clearer now

Because the auto pack is awesome

Does the prestige come with leather seats Bigfeet?

Not as standard no, but they are an optional item if you fancy them. Bear in mind that they are not "heated" in the UK market.

My leather seats have been more than warm enough in the current weather :cool:

Always found this odd, the cars are built in the same factory and have mirror image seats that don't need to be different for left and right hand drive. All it does is mean the need to manufacture an additional type of each seat without elements just for us.

Oh... That's a bit disappointing. So are they just the same standard seat that I have in my DSyle?

No the DSport / Prestige seats are more supportive that the DStyle ones, even the cloth ones.
