Citroen DS3 Cabrio – a possible rival for Mini Cabrio
Citroen will try to take advantage from the investments made in the new DS range and will try to satisfy the customers in the premium segment. For this, the French, will need a wide range of offers, not just the current DS3 and a convertible version of the hatchback is already considered.
Intended to be a rival for the current Mini convertible, a future Citroen DS3 convertible would adopt a retractable fabric roof, a much cheaper and more convenient solution. The range of engines will be three petrol units and two diesels units. The top version will offer 150 HP, but its performance will be somewhat weaker than the version with fixed roof, because of the higher total mass.
A future Citroen DS3 convertible would be launched no sooner than 2012 and will be more expensive than the coupe version, the starting price will be around 3.000 euro higher.
