The DS AUTOMOBILES DS4 (2021-25) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.5 BLUEHDI 130 DPFR SS EU6 PERFORMANCE LINE EAT AUTO8 is a premium family hatchback, with a distinctive, raised stance that gives it a crossover-like presence without making it a full SUV. It sits between mainstream hatchbacks and pricier luxury models, appealing to buyers wanting something less common than a Volkswagen Golf or Audi A3. With a 1.5-litre diesel engine and automatic gearbox, this DS4 suits regular commuters and families covering longer journeys, offering relaxed driving and useful fuel economy. The Performance Line trim adds sporty styling, while the cabin and exterior design help it stand out against practical rivals such as the Ford Focus and BMW 1 Series. It is best suited to drivers who value comfort, distinctive looks and motorway capability over a small car’s easy parking.
