Detailed analysis of the DS 4 e-HDi 115 Style · 114 CV (2014-2015)
General description
The 2014 DS 4 is more than a car; it's a statement of intent. At a time when DS was beginning to forge its own path of luxury and avant-garde, this model arrived to break the mold, merging the silhouette of a coupé with the robustness of a crossover. It's an invitation to experience French 'savoir-faire' in a compact and bold format.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 4 e-HDi 115 envelops you in an atmosphere of comfort and serenity. Its 114-horsepower diesel engine doesn't aim for speed records but rather to offer a pleasant and highly efficient journey, with generous thrust from low revs thanks to its good torque. The raised suspension masterfully filters out imperfections, conveying a feeling of floating over the asphalt, while its six-speed manual transmission allows for a relaxed and economical drive. It's a car that asks you to enjoy the journey, without rushing, feeling every kilometer with exceptional smoothness.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the DS 4 is pure emotion. Its sculpted lines, high waistline, and hidden rear door handles create a captivating coupé illusion. It's a car that feels special from every angle, with chrome details that enhance its elegance and an imposing stance. Inside, the panoramic windscreen floods the cabin with light, creating a unique experience. However, its boldness is also manifested in controversial decisions like the fixed rear windows, a character trait that makes it unforgettable.
Technology and features
In its time, the DS 4 integrated technologies designed for comfort and efficiency. The Stop & Start system was a key ally in reducing fuel consumption in the city, while the electro-hydraulic steering offered a good compromise between assistance and feel. Although its infotainment system can't compete with current screens, it performed its function correctly, focusing on a more analog driving experience connected to the road rather than the digital world.
Competition
The DS 4 dared to challenge the kings of the premium compact segment like the Audi A3 or the BMW 1 Series, but not by competing on the same ground. Its proposal was different, more focused on distinctive design and ride comfort. It also measured up against the top-spec versions of models like the Volkswagen Golf or the Peugeot 308, offering a touch of exclusivity and a design that none of them could match.
Conclusion
The DS 4 e-HDi 115 Style is a choice from the heart. It's a car for those who value aesthetics, originality, and the pleasure of driving in a calm and economical way. It's not the most practical or the sportiest, but its charm lies precisely in its unique personality. It's a haven of design and comfort, a piece of French haute couture on wheels that, even today, continues to turn heads and bring smiles.
