Detailed analysis of the DS 4 BlueHDi 120 S&S Design · 120 CV (2015-2016)
General description
The 2016 DS 4 is not just a car; it's a statement of intent. Born under the wing of the newly independent DS brand, this premium compact bursts onto the scene with the promise of a different kind of luxury, a French 'savoir-faire' that merges stylistic audacity and comfort in a versatile format full of personality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 120-horsepower BlueHDi engine feels like a tireless and serene travel companion. Its generous 300 Nm of torque from low revs provides a smooth and forceful response, ideal for long journeys where its ridiculously low consumption and acoustic refinement envelop you in a bubble of tranquility. It doesn't seek speed records but aims to offer a pleasant and relaxed driving experience.
Design and aesthetics
Its silhouette is a work of art that defies conventions. Higher than a traditional compact, with a coupé-like roofline and hidden rear door handles, the DS 4 plays at being several things at once and does so with resounding success. Every line, every chrome detail, every element is designed to captivate the eye and convey a sense of exclusivity that immediately sets it apart from its more sober rivals.
Technology and features
The onboard technology focuses on efficiency and comfort. The Stop & Start system works discreetly to optimize fuel consumption in the city, while the electro-hydraulic steering offers a more connected and natural feel than many purely electric assist systems. The equipment serves its purpose correctly, allowing the focus to remain on the pleasure of driving and the quality of the interior ambiance.
Competition
On its path, the DS 4 encountered established giants. Its elegance and originality stood up to the Teutonic perfection of the Audi A3, the sportiness of the BMW 1 Series, and the star of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. It also eyed contenders like the Volvo V40, with which it shared a focus on design and safety, seeking to win over drivers who shy away from the predictable.
Conclusion
The DS 4 BlueHDi 120 is a choice from the heart. It's a car for those who value aesthetics, ride comfort, and efficiency over pure performance. It represents a sophisticated and original alternative in a highly competitive segment, a haven of design and well-being that proves luxury doesn't always speak German.
