DS F3VER concept shows the brand's design intent

The Paris Motor Show brought us yet another exciting concept. This is the DS F3VER, and, fittingly for DS' design intent for the future, it's quite ambitious. The concept measures 4.19 meters long, 1.84 meters wide, and 1.46 meters tall, with a 2.70-meter wheelbase and a 400l boot.

The F3VER features a new front-end design with a vertically positioned DS logo and Y-shaped LED lighting. At the rear, a digital DS logo sits in the center of the bumper, accompanied by a lighting arrangement consisting of 16 LED panels mounted on a lightweight magnesium structure.

DS says that customization is a key point on the F3VER. The decorative roof strip can be personalized, with an extended two-tone paint scheme and configurable rear lighting animations.

The concept is finished in Cosmic Blue, a color that shifts between blue and violet depending on the lighting conditions. The wheels feature geometric patterns and champagne-colored accents.

The company says the F3VER is designed to offer the practicality of a larger vehicle despite its relatively compact dimensions. While DS describes the concept as having a class-leading electric range, it's not saying what it is, nor the size of the battery.

The F3VER also introduces what DS calls its "Design Intelligence" approach, which aims to simplify vehicle construction by reducing the number of components. It's done by using integrated headlights and daytime running lights, single-piece bumpers, and the removal of additional plastic trim around the wheel arches and lower body.

DS says it is also using AI-assisted design tools to speed up development and evaluate different design proposals. The F3VER remains a concept for now, with no production plans or launch timeline announced.
