2019 DR 3EV Dimensions, Size & Specs

The curb weight of the DR 3 3EV prototype is 1515 kg (approximately 3340 pounds). This moderate weight for a compact coupe/SUV blend helps balance stability and agility on the road. It allows for nimble handling while maintaining adequate comfort and safety.

The DR 3 3EV is equipped with rim sizes of either 17 inches or 18 inches. The tire sizes are 205/50 R17 and 205/45 R18 respectively. Larger 18-inch rims with lower profile tires tend to provide sharper handling but might reduce ride comfort compared to the 17-inch rim tires that absorb road imperfections better.

Yes, the DR 3 3EV fits comfortably into a typical residential garage. Standard single-car garages usually have dimensions of around 2440 mm (8 feet) in width and 4870 mm (16 feet) in depth. Since the DR 3 3EV is 1760 mm wide and 4200 mm long, it leaves sufficient clearance on all sides for safe parking and opening doors without difficulty.

With a length of 4200 mm, a width of 1760 mm, and a height of 1570 mm, the DR 3 3EV sits in the smaller range of compact SUVs and coupe crossovers. Many compact SUVs measure between 4300-4500 mm in length, so the DR 3 3EV is slightly shorter. Its height strikes a balance, higher than typical coupes but lower than larger SUVs, reflecting its versatile coupe-SUV design.

As a prototype from 2019, the DR 3 3EV does not have a direct predecessor in DR's lineup, thus no prior generation dimensions exist for comparison. However, its size and form factor reflect a modern trend towards compact and efficient electric SUVs, indicating that it would be smaller and more space-conscious than any conventional older DR models.

Given the DR 3 3EV's compact exterior dimensions of 4200 mm length and 1760 mm width, the interior is expected to be comfortably sized for a small SUV/coupe crossover. While official interior volume measures are unavailable, its design aims to maximize cabin space efficiently, providing adequate headroom and legroom for front and rear passengers within the compact footprint.

During its production in 2019, the DR 3 3EV prototype was presented as a versatile model available in both coupe and SUV body styles. This dual classification highlights the model’s crossover appeal, offering sporty coupe aesthetics combined with SUV practicality in a compact electric package.

The DR 3 3EV's dimensions (4200 mm length, 1760 mm width, and 1570 mm height) and curb weight (1515 kg) are competitive within the compact electric SUV segment. Many comparable models, such as the Hyundai Kona Electric or Nissan Leaf SUV variants, have similar lengths ranging from 4200 to 4300 mm and weights around 1500-1600 kg. The DR 3 3EV offers a well-balanced size and weight that make it maneuverable in urban environments while maintaining enough heft for a stable and quiet ride.

Being a prototype or concept car produced only in 2019, the DR 3 3EV was primarily intended to showcase DR Automobiles' vision for an electric compact coupe/SUV rather than for mass market availability. This means limited production numbers, if any, and possible differences in features compared to final production models. It allowed the company to explore design, electric propulsion, and market response without final commercial commitments.
