The DS N°4 marks DS Automobiles’ entry into the premium compact sedan segment.
Incorporating the style elements introduced with the large sedan N°8, this model stands out with refined design, advanced technologies, and a range of electrified powertrains.
The N°4 features a redesigned front end with a widened grille and a lighting signature inspired by recent models from the brand. Its dimensions, measuring 4.40 meters in length, 1.87 meters in width, and 1.47 meters in height, are tailored to the compact sedan segment. Details such as flush door handles and tail lights with embossed patterns complete its exterior design.
The model offers three powertrain options:
- 100% electric (E-TENSE): up to 450 km of range (WLTP) with 213 hp. It features a 58.3 kWh battery and a configurable energy recovery system.
- Plug-in hybrid (PLUG-IN HYBRID): electric range of 81 km, equipped with a 14.6 kWh battery and a combined power of 225 hp.
- Self-charging hybrid (HYBRID): petrol engine paired with an electric motor, producing 145 hp, with emissions starting at 116 g/km CO₂.
DS Cares for Passengers
The interior offers a variety of materials, such as Alcantara® and Nappa leather, with seats available with heating, ventilating, and massage functions depending on the version. Features include a 10.25-inch digital screen and a high-definition head-up display, combined with the DS IRIS SYSTEM infotainment system.
The N°4 includes assistance systems like DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0, offering semi-autonomous driving features, and DS DRIVER ATTENTION MONITORING, designed to monitor the driver’s focus. Cargo volume varies by powertrain: 430 liters for the hybrid, 360 liters for the plug-in hybrid, and 390 liters for the electric version.
DS N°4 offers two trims: PALLAS, focused on elegance with Diamond fabric seats and Bronze Belem accents, and ÉTOILE, emphasizing sportiness with Alcantara seats and premium equipment such as the DS IRIS SYSTEM and DS DRIVE ASSIST. Both trims feature customizable packages and exclusive colors, including Cashmere. Pricing is expected to stay below 40,000 euros for the entry-level model.
