During an online presentation, DS formalized the upcoming arrival of the new DS4, for 2021. With this model, the brand intends to “move up a gear” and wants “to attract several types of customers”. As was the case for the first DS4, there should be a classic variant and a Crossback adventurer variation.
The new DS4 will be based on an evolution of the EMP2 platform, the EMP2 V3. It will benefit from new ground connections and body rigidity “at the level of the best premiums”. As part of the PSA group’s strategy to have fully electrified ranges by 2025, the DS4 will be available with an E-Tense plug-in hybrid engine. This will be the 225 hp traction version, which the DS7 Crossback has just received. The brand announces an electric autonomy of more than 50 km. DS has also confirmed the presence of conventional heat engines, gasoline and diesel, from 130 hp. There will only be automatic gearboxes, which has also given designers more freedom for the dashboard. However, there will be no 100% electric.
Inside, the manufacturer promises “a break” on the C segment. The car will inaugurate a brand new infotainment system. The functions can be controlled by voice, with a new voice assistant. There is also a touchpad in the central armrest, which will allow you to navigate the menus and write information while keeping your arm on the armrest.
Another first at PSA: a new head-up display, the “DS extended head-up display”. The information will be projected in the driver’s field of vision as if it were displayed on the road. In addition, the DS4 will receive new aerators, made almost invisible.
Side driving assistance, we will find systems seen on large models and new on compacts, including the “DS Active Scan Suspension”, a controlled suspension coupled to a camera that analyzes the road upstream. The DS4 will inaugurate an evolution of the semi-autonomous driving of PSA, with a speed management which will be associated with the GPS and the reading of the traffic signs. There will also be a new semi-autonomous override feature. The surveillance of blind spots will be improved, with radars covering 75 m to the rear.
On the look side, style director Thierry Metroz unveiled the new light signature, with two vertical diode strips that will frame the face of the car. This had been announced by the Aero Sport Lounge concept. From the latter, we will also find the shape of the custode.
The DS4 will be unveiled in the first quarter of 2021. Orders will open by mid-2021. DS has confirmed that the car will be produced in Germany, at an Opel plant in Rüsselsheim.
