Following the new family design of Citroën's high-end brand DS, the brand's models have also been upgraded successively to achieve the independence of the brand's high-end.

For example, after DS launched the brand blockbuster model DS 9, it brought a more beginner new DS 4, the new car positioning compact model, a total of ordinary version, CROSS version and more sporty Performance Line three versions, based on the EMP2 platform to create. New cars start at £25,350 in the UK.

In view of the fact that the DS 4 is the last model in the family to be replaced, its shape basically continues the family design of the first model to be released, with a square grille and a slimr LED light cluster.

However, considering that the car is a lower-positioned model, the new car incorporates a more radical design and adds a more special-shaped LED light strip, which is not as calm as the DS 7 and DS 9.

The same is true on the side of the body, the DS 4 has a more sharp line design, whether it is the side skirt position or the C-pillar design, which highlights the sense of sportiness, which contrasts with the DS 7 and DS 9, but also loses the sense of premium.

At the rear, the new car uses black trim to penetrate the taillights, and it can also be seen that the new taillights adhere to the design of the family's high-end sense, maintaining a simple and atmospheric feeling.

In terms of size, the new DS4 body length, width and height are 4400/2061/1470mm, wheelbase is 2675mm, although the body is short, but also in line with the positioning, better than the same level of Audi A3, BMW 1 Series.

In terms of interior, DS 4 adopts an internal mounted central control screen, and the overall shape is presented in a simple shape.

Given that the car is positioned as a high-end series, the new car has added more leather wrapping and metal chrome design to highlight the new car's sense of class.

Notably, the more sporty Performance Line version of the model is wrapped in more Alcantara fur material.

In terms of powertrain, the new DS 4 provides a variety of powertrains, of which the fuel version is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged three-cylinder engine, a 1.5T, 1.6T turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and the maximum power is 130/180/225 horsepower, matching the 8-speed automatic transmission.

The new energy model is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged four-cylinder engine + electric motor composed of a plug-in hybrid system, and the transmission system matches the E-CVT stepless transmission.

From the perspective of new car positioning, the new car will be targeted at the entry-level models of luxury brands, the most direct of which is the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz A-Class.

Although DS has introduced a number of models in China, from ancient times to the present, the brand's performance in China seems to have been mediocre, not only because the new car price is higher and not recognized by the domestic consumer market, but also because the French brand is gradually cold in China.

According to the data, DS 4 was first introduced in the previous generation of DS 4 in the form of imports in 2012, but the brand was tepid, and the model has withdrawn from the Chinese market after achieving a mid-term redesign. As for whether new cars will return to the domestic market in the future, it is estimated that it is unlikely.
