The 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.
This 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.
