DS 3 Inès de la Fressange edition unveiled

For the latest addition to its range, DS Automobiles has collaborated with Inès de la Fressange Paris to create a fashion-inspired limited edition.

Based on the existing Elegance trim grade, the DS 3 Inès de la Fressange mixes Ink Blue paintwork with an Opal White roof. Further contrast is provided by an Inès Red finish for the door mirror caps and wheel centres.

Unique badges, bespoke floor mats and an Inès de la Fressange 'Voyageur' leather bag complete the car's specification.
