About the DS Automobiles DS 4

The second-generation DS 4 represents the brand's effort to distance itself from its Citroën roots, utilising the EMP2 platform to offer a more refined, premium experience. The PureTech 130 serves as the entry-level petrol variant, focusing on efficiency and comfort rather than outright performance. Its interior is a standout feature, incorporating high-quality materials like forged carbon and watchstrap leather upholstery in higher specifications. While it competes with the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series, it distinguishes itself through a softer ride and a unique 'savoir-faire' aesthetic.
