New DS 4 revealed
Dramatic design
Plush interior
Autonomous technology available
Hybrid engine options
On sale in November 2021

The DS 4 is a luxury hatchback alternatives to the likes of the BMW 1 Series, Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3. This new model from the posh French manufacturer will bring classy looks, a plush interior and, for the first time for the DS 4, autonomous-driving tech when it goes on sale in the UK in November 2021.

2022 DS 4 design
One of the ways DS tries to make its cars feel like upmarket alternatives to Audi, BWM and Mercedes hatchbacks is through bold designs – and this new DS 4 is no exception.

Upfront, a large grille is flanked by slim LED headlights — with sharply-creased daytime running lights underneath. The roof slopes off to the rear while the doors feature bold creases and the back of the car takes on an almost-box like shape with thin brake lights and plenty of angular details.
You’ll be able to get the DS 4 with 20-inch black-painted alloy wheels, though there’s no word yet on if smaller wheels are available.
Much like the exterior, the DS 4 looks very posh inside. A digital display sits in place of traditional dials and gauges to give you key information and there’s a 10-inch infotainment display sitting in the centre of the dash. You get a head-up display that projects info on the windscreen for you, too.
You get a new five-inch touchscreen in the centre console that can be used to control the DS 4’s main system and driving modes.

The interior itself is laden in leather, with a rather eye-catching brown and white combination in the car shown here. You can even choose between a few different options, including ash brown wood and forged carbon, along with leather or suede-like Alcantara seat trim.
In terms of practicality, the DS 4 has an impressive 430 litres of boot space. That’s a huge leap up from the old car’s 380 litres, which incidentally is the same figure the current BMW 1 Series offers.

2022 DS 4 engines
New for the DS 4 is a plug-in hybrid engine, which combines a turbocharged 180hp petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 225hp. No word yet on a claimed fuel return, but you can expect it to be capable of 30 miles of electric driving only.

There’s also conventional petrol options in 130 and 180hp outputs, along with a 130hp diesel engine. All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard.

2022 DS 4 specs
You’ll have a choice of three trims for the DS 4, including entry-level cars, Cross versions and Performance Line models.
No word yet on what the equipment levels of each will be, but expect the 10-inch infotainment screen and digital driver display to come as standard, along with matrix LED headlights.
The DS 4 will also feature semi-autonomous driving features that will allow the car to control its speed and position in lanes on motorways. Night vision is set to be available too.

2022 DS 4 price and release date
Pricing for the DS 4 has yet to be revealed, but expect it to start around £25,000 to put it in line with key alternatives like the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes A-Class.
UK sales of the DS 4 are set to start in November.
