DS 4 II

Compact Hatchback

Product Gallery

Product Overview

DS 4 II is a compact hatchback in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.2 to 1.6 liters.

Styling-wise, the Mk2 DS 4 is a giant leap forward, even though its underpinnings remains largely unchanged. More efficient drivetrains are added, too.

As such, the car still uses semi-independent rear suspensions. It makes for a somewhat compelling option for those who like the design but don't care about the drive.

Reviewer score 65% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

DS is determined to cover every base. Trocadero, Rivoli and the range-topping La Première. All are surprisingly well equipped, featuring things like standard automatic transmissions, flush door handles and LED matrix headlights. There are also three body looks – a chrome-heavy standard offering just called DS, a DS Performance Line with sporty black wheels and a DS Cross.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Powerful electric motor
Decent interior

Cons

Pricier than rivals
No PHEV option

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

As a rival for established premium hatchbacks, the DS 4 is a welcome addition. It doesn't seek to copy its Teutonic rivals but, instead, offers an interesting alternative. It's a high-class hatch that drives well, feels genuinely high-quality inside, is fizzing with new tech and is competitively priced. Go for the hybrid if you can afford it; it's easily the best version.

Pros

Competitively priced
Cheap to drive
Excellent customer service

Cons

Lack of class-leading tech
Poor rear-seat legroom

Reviewer score 54% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

With 108bhp the E-Tense's electric motor proves just about adequate in normal traffic with a range of up to 38 miles according to official figures. The steering's weight is agreeable enough and it's reasonably precise, yet even with the Active Scan adaptive suspension there's more body roll than the A3 and AMG Line versions of the non-PHEV A-Class. The digital driver's display is on the small side at 7.0in, but a big head up display is standard on posher trims.

Pros

Powerful petrol engine
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Fiddly rear suspension
Slightly fiddly to drive
