The DS 4 crossover was introduced on 3 February 2021, succeeding the discontinued DS 5. Constructed on the PSA EMP2 architecture, it is available in three variants: DS 4, DS 4 Cross, and DS 4 Performance Line. After a facelift in 2025, the model was rebranded as the DS N°4.

Overview

Conceived in Paris, the DS 4 is assembled at Opel's facility located in Rüsselsheim, Germany. Its engine options consist of petrol units from the PureTech series producing 130, 180, or 220 horsepower, as well as an E-TENSE plug-in hybrid model. Market availability commenced in the fourth quarter of 2021.

2022 refresh

In October 2022, the DS 4’s trim lineup was revised to introduce a new Opera top-tier version along with an extended electric driving range for the plug-in hybrid variant.

Esprit de Voyage

Debuting in March 2023, the "Esprit de Voyage" limited edition—translated as "spirit of travel"—represents the premium trim level for both DS 4 and DS 7 models. It incorporates luxurious materials and color palettes inspired by haute couture.

2025 refresh

Revealed on May 14, 2025, the latest update features redesigned bodywork and a front fascia influenced by the DS N°8. The vehicle was renamed DS N°4 and received interior enhancements. Most engine choices from the original DS 4 were retained, with the exception that diesel powertrains were removed from the lineup.

Safety

The DS 4 1.6 Hybrid (left-hand drive) achieved a four-star rating from Euro NCAP in 2022, attaining scores of 85% for adult occupant safety, 86% for child occupant protection, and 74% for pedestrian safety.
