Detailed analysis of the DS 4 PureTech 130 S&S Design · 131 CV (2015-2016)
General description
The 2016 DS 4 bursts into the compact segment as a statement of intent, a bold fusion of styles that defies any label. It's not just a car; it's the materialization of French 'savoir-faire', seeking its own space between a hatchback, a coupe, and a crossover with its 131-horsepower PureTech engine at its heart.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS 4 PureTech 130 envelops you in a surprisingly agile and refined driving experience. The small three-cylinder engine vibrates with energy, delivering its 230 Nm of torque from very low revs, which translates into a lively and decisive response in the city and on the highway. The suspension masterfully filters out imperfections, prioritizing superb ride comfort, although its greater height compared to a traditional compact is noticeable with a subtle roll when pushed to the limit. It's a car that invites you to travel calmly and enjoy the journey.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the DS 4 is pure aesthetic provocation. Its sculpted lines and elevated silhouette create an unmistakable presence, halfway between the elegance of a coupe, with its rear door handles hidden in the C-pillar, and the robustness of a crossover. Every detail, from the 'DS Wings' grille to the chrome touches that run along its bodywork, screams exclusivity and attention to detail. It's a car that leaves no one indifferent, designed to be admired and to stand out in a sea of uniformity.
Technology and features
On board, the DS 4 offered a technological package that reflected its premium ambition in 2016. The cabin was centered around a central touchscreen that cleared the console of buttons, providing access to the infotainment system. It incorporated efficient solutions like the Stop & Start system, and its electro-hydraulic steering sought the perfect balance between assistance and feel. Although it may seem discreet today, at the time it represented a modern and connected environment for the driver.
Competition
The DS 4 entered a territory dominated by titans. Its sights were set directly on the German premium trio: the Audi A3, the BMW 1 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. However, due to its focus on design and comfort, it found a more direct rival in the Volvo V40, another compact that opted for differentiation and Scandinavian elegance over German sportiness. The DS 4 fought for its place by offering a different soul, a touch of Parisian avant-garde.
Conclusion
In short, the DS 4 PureTech 130 was much more than just a compact car. It was a bold bet on originality and refinement, a vehicle for those who seek to feel something different behind the wheel and be seen differently. It's not the sportiest or the most practical, but its charm lies precisely in its unique character, in its ability to offer an experience of comfort and style that few rivals could match. A misunderstood gem for the driver who values art as much as engineering.
