DS Automobiles launched an updated version of the DS 3 last year, which included improvements to the powertrain. However, recent spy shots reveal that the automaker has more updates in store for the model. The pictures captured a sportier variant of the electric crossover undergoing high-altitude testing in Europe.

Based on the camouflage, it appears that DS is not making any major styling changes, with most of the updates concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The electric crossover will feature a new grille design that will likely be accompanied by other adjustments to the front end. Notably, DS has extended the chrome accents beneath the headlights and concealed the central lower bumper opening.
