The model
Read full DS 4 reviewThe DS 4 has a generally comfortable ride and good fuel economy, as well as a plush, stylish interior, but it ultimately fails to stand out. Rivals including the Skoda Karoq are even comfier and much more spacious inside. If you do decide to buy a DS 4, we’d suggest choosing the entry-level Pallas trim and the mild-hybrid engine.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping Étoile adds plenty of Alcantara to the interior, electrically adjustable front seats, LED headlights and different 19in wheels.
The engine
See full engine specsThis petrol plug-in hybrid unit might appeal to company car users – more so than the rest of the DS 4’s engine range – but its underwhelming 38 miles of electric-only range means it’s costlier to tax than some rivals are.
