About the generation

What makes the Citroen DS3 special

Citroën DS3 tune: the Racing and the THP family

The DS3 was never sold new in the U.S. With no U.S. model years or generation label, you identify yours by its engine and output. Citroën built the DS3 Racing in a limited run of about two thousand cars from 2010, rated at 207 hp and 275 Nm. A GAN GT takes the Racing to 242 hp and 355 Nm.

Those are rated gains for the engine type, not dyno results from your car. The standard THP is covered too: 150 hp in 2010 and 2011, 156 hp from 2011 to 2014, and 165 hp from 2016 to 2018. Some sources quote the Racing at 202 hp for the 2014 and 2015 cars instead of 207 hp, and the 2016 to 2018 Performance has 208 hp and 300 Nm. In the catalog, the Racing appears at both 200 hp and 207 hp.

From the Citroën DS3 to the DS 3

The DS3 is a three-door hatchback built on the second-generation C3 platform, and a cabrio followed in 2012 and 2013. It reached the market in 2010, got a light facelift in 2014 and stayed in production until 2019. DS became a brand of its own in 2016, and the car dropped the Citroën chevrons to become the DS 3. The DS 3 Crossback, the SUV that followed in 2019, has no rows in the catalog.

Gas and diesel engines

The 1.4 VTi makes 95 hp from 2010 to 2013, and the catalog lists it at 98 hp. The 1.6 VTi makes 120 hp, and in 2014 the PureTech 110 arrived with 205 Nm. Diesels run from the 1.4 e-HDi at 70 hp up to the 1.6 BlueHDi at 120 hp, with the BlueHDi 100 joining in 2014. Every diesel takes the GAN GT.

FAQ

Citroen DS3 tuning FAQ

DS3 Racing tune: the 207 hp car or the 208 hp Performance?

The 207 hp figure belongs to the Racing from 2010. The Performance has no row in the catalog. The Racing is matched to the GAN GT, which is rated at up to 30% more power on turbo engines.

Which DS3 THP is mine: 150, 156 or 165 hp?

Use the year: 150 hp is 2010 or 2011, 156 hp is 2011 to 2014, and 165 hp is 2016 to 2018. Each has its own row, and the GAN GT covers all three.

What does the plug-and-play GAN GA+ add to a DS3 1.4 or 1.6 VTi?

Both VTi gas engines take the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12% more power. The GAN GA+ also offers up to 15% better gas mileage in steady driving.

DS3 performance chip or flash tuner: what is the difference?

Unlike a flash tuner, which rewrites the factory software, the GAN module sits between the engine sensors and the ECU and adjusts their signals. Your factory warranty is preserved: the ECU software is never changed, and the module can be removed at any time. It comes off in about a minute and leaves no traces.

Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?

Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU flash tune without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
