The model
Read full DS 4 reviewThe DS 4's cushy ride and high-quality interior help it stand out from better known alternatives, such as the Volkswagen T-Roc and Volvo XC40. However, we’d expect more interior and boot space, as well as a better ride and handling balance. If you do buy a DS 4, we’d suggest choosing the entry-level Pallas trim and the mild-hybrid engine.
The trim
See full equipmentThis trim gets every piece of kit Étoile has but swaps all of the Alcantara for Napa leather.
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.
