Traditional Hatchback: DS4
Cross-border Version: DS 4 Cross

From the development code, the two cars are called Project D41. As for the SUV of the Project D44, there will be further confirmation of the DS car.
So far, DS car’s product catalog has four large category models, including SUV models that already exist, DS 3 Crossback and DS 7 Crossback, And the flagship sedan DS 9 released in 2020. In addition, this DS 4 series just released in early 2021.
For European consumers, the most important information is: Like the medium-sized flagship sedan DS 9, the DS 4 series will open orders in a few months. Subsequently in the fourth quarter of 2021, its production was conducted in the Opel plant in Rusheselsheim, Germany.
As for the Chinese market, there is currently no new DS 4 imported news.
There is no doubt that the new DS 4 is the French to sit on high-end, luxurious market.The essential. At present, the DS car has a 1.5% market share in Europe, which is comparable to that of Lexus and Jaguar. Therefore, for DS cars, potential opportunities are still expected.

DS 4: Ten years later again to fight the high-end market
The history of the first generation of DS 4 can be traced back to 2011. The DS 4 at that time is in the market as the replacement model of Citroen C4 COUPE. of. After hanging on the DS carbark, advance to the high-end market and create a higher premium.
Until 2015, DS 4 made a medium-term change, and a Crossback version similar to a cross-border car was added by increasing different appearance kits, and has been Production to the end of 2018. This is the origin of the second generation of DS 4 Cross – is also an inheritance relationship with it.

However, the correlation between the first generation DS 4 and the second generation DS 4 is not much from the design. Most of the new car is started from zero.
“In the two years, we have been working on the platform to get the best foundation for our (style) ratio.” Before the new DS 4 officially released A few days, DS carDesign Director Tiery Middot; Merry Metroz introduced to the French media.
As the foundation of the DS 3 Crossback in the CMP shared module platform, the new DS 4 is constructed in the updated EMP2 V3 platform. The original PSA Group developed a new platform for integrated PHEV-blending technology in the current EMP2 compact (Fuel Platform) technology foundation in the electrical transformation process, and its flexibility is higher.

Tiery Midd 2; Merrotz also introduced: “We can put the wheels in the places we want, so new DS 4 looks very exercise, just better than The body is placed on huge wheels (the rings range from 18-20 inches) while also creating a spacious internal space. “
According to the DS car According to the official data, the new DS 4 has a long-width high size of 4400/1830 / 1470mm (with antenna 1490mm), and the wheelbase is 2675mm.
More interesting is that although the new DS 4 cross is one Cross-border versions, but its body size is almost consistent with the Hatchback version. More differences in the two cars are the appearance decoration – the front and rear bumpers of the new DS 4 Cross have more black decoration, and there is a CROSS logo on the front door.
versionThis is different, but the design element is shared
Whether it is a new DS 4 or a Cross version, it is basically identical. 
Two cars have a longer hood, thick body, very tilted tail door, and hinges on the tail opening above the C column – These features are far from the traditional HatchBack we are familiar with, but it is extremely connected to the design concept of SUV.
From a specific design, the new DS 4 has a huge intake barrier similar to DS 7 Crossback, but the border It is more concise, the hood is directly connected to the grid while reducing the amount of chrome trim strip. Moreover, the black grid is quelling silver decoration, similar to the “full star” effect, more attractive.
It is undeniable that the front face recognition feature of the new DS 4 is more pronounced, and the design technique is updated and more personal. In particular, two L-D-DRL daytime runners that are intertwined together, one of which is responsible for the function of the turn signal.
The proportional arrangement of the side of the body is just right, and it is also the key to the new DS 4 to better visual feelings.
It is not difficult to see that the new car uses many elements on Aero Sport Lounge, while the 20-inch large rims installed in the show provide very strong tension, with skirt Bright strips, suspended black car top, as well as front and rejovine gigches, and the stability of the side angle is very prominent.
Starting from DS 3 CrossBack, the DS car began to use hidden electric door handles on the mass production vehicle, which not only enhances the sense of experience, but also in the hands of it. The body is kept flat. Also, the handle shell is chrome-plated, and the body of the body is also improved.
There are also some small details worthy of sharing. The first is the charging port of the PHEV plug model on the left side, the fuel port is on the right; secondly, the trim strip connects the left and right taillights does not place the lamp belt. It does not shine; the last is the reversing image camera next to the car There is a glass water nozzle that provides cleaning services.
Since the birth, DS 4 has been squatting between two brands. The first generation of models stand out from Citroen, more like a high-level version C4; while Facelift in 2015, the LOGO of the DS car was completely hanged, and it also had Hatchback version and Crossback version at this time.
After ten years later, the new DS 4 has been in the world, and the spirit of the previous generation model is also inherited, but the new car is called DS 4 Cross. And the two models of the route are consistent, and if it is necessary to find differences, it is probably the part of the aesthetic expression.
The new DS 4 CROSS eliminates the chrome trim strip that still exists in the Hatchback standard version, the window frame and the grill use black decorative strips, and the roof is slightly Radial luggage rack. The biggest difference between the two cars is the CROSS version of the car and the body color, and the Hatchback version uses a black suspended car.
Probably many people pay attention to the new DS 4 Cross wheel eyebrows do not use black plastic package, for this Tiery Middot; Meroz explained: “We don’t need it (wheel eyebrows), although it can highlight the function and visual of SUV. If you install black eyebrows for DS 4 cross, you will completely change your body proportion, 20-inch big wheel does not need Excess decoration. “

Interior is a luxurious sense, enabling new car system
[123
Even if it has been added to the STELLANTIS new group, the PSA can still be found in the new DS 4. Prioritize the traces of the DS car.
New DS 4 NAPPA dark interior
Entering the new DS 4 car, it will find relative In DS 7 Crossback and DS 9, the quality of this new car reflected in the quality of the quality. Whether it is the design element, the total layout of Layout is still the same, basically become less than the previous product, from some extent, it is also a “error” before the correction.
In the description of the European media, that is, the changes in the interior of the compartment are undoubtedly revolutionary.
For example, the window button of long-term disease has moved from the bottom of the central control stage to the driving side of the driving side, similar to the launches of the road; followed by DS 3 CrossBack. The central control touch button is changed to the exquisite entity buttons in the new DS 4; the electronic block turns into a small piece, which is electrified “prophecy”.
The window button finally moved to the door
On the instrument table, the integrated design makes people feel familiar : It is very like Buick’s Angui, but it is true that it is also a DS own design style. The digital performance of the entire cockpit is further longer than DS 9, including 7 inch LCD dashboard, 10 inches of control touch screen, and a 10-inch HUD projection display.
At the front end of the shifting patch, there is a 5-inch touch screen for a 5-inch touch screen to achieve the setup and function of the touchpad, the speed of the vehicle. That is, when the arm naturally hangs, the 5-inch screen can be operated by the central armrest to control the vehicle function, save the raising hand control. 
White Shallow Double-Shallow Decoe
About Interior Design, Interior Style of DS The main Tomas Middot; Briert (Thomas Bouveret) said honestly: “We reflect on the experience of the past and hope to provide a more stable and reliable ergonomic.”
In addition to the BUG correction issues we mentioned in front, an important part of the human computer interaction in the new DS 4 – the smart vehicle system has also entered the new era. And successfully replaced the previous NAC Wave4 version of the car. 
From the medium-sized model, the new DS 4 will be equipped with a new driver. The new machine name is Smart Touch Iris, the first half Smart Touch refers to the touch screen operation section (including 10 “large screens and 5-inch small screens), and IRIS is a newly developed voice system. 
Hiking is that this set of car systems can finally be OTA. Including emergency calls, data interactions, radio antennas are integrated into the roof fins. Therefore, the fish fin is not only decorated, but also has practical role.
The DS car claims that the new system is faster, the switching menu is more free, and the information is richer, more important is safer.
Thomas MIDDOT; Briert further mentioned: “By integrating the main screen function into the touch panel, we have expanded the operating mode, first withoutRemove your shoulder from the seat, the second perspective does not lose monitoring of the road. Therefore, you won’t miss any driving information, in addition, there is a 10-inch HUD flat display in front of your sight. 
Like the conventional DS, the interior portion can provide a form of a chain NAPPA material, and a vertical Claudia leather material, and Performance The Line Sports is a seat and decoration of Alcantara material. 
Space part of the new DS 4 also has a good performance, because the total layout in the car is not the same as the previous model Therefore, there is more advantageous aspects of storage space. Before the bottom of the central control stage, there is a top cover, the cover is hidden behind the USB charging port, 12V power supply, storage box and cup holder. Close the cover Everything is calm.
There is a small space placed on the shifting area, and then it is a USB interface in the open center armrest box. However, on the PHEV version, it is necessary to place a part of the battery below the central console, so the armrest box is not as good as the fuel version.
The trunk space is also the same. According to PHEV and fuel version Differences, after the front of the front bonded floor, the luggage compartment is 390 liters, while the fuel version does not “burden”, the baggage compartment is 430 liters.

Select enrich: gasoline, diesel, and plugging over
As mentioned above, since the platform base is updated, the new DS 4 also has many points in the technical part. 
herePrior to the front, the original PSA Group offers PHEV version only on C-section SUV (Peugeot 3008/4008, Citroen C5 Aircross, Opel Grandland X) and D-sedaine (Peugeot 508 / 508L, DS 9).
Now, the engineer of the DS car announced that the electric module has been integrated on the EMP2 V3 platform, and the components have been updated 70%.
From essentially, the battery pack has been updated – the battery of the new DS 4 is smaller than the above models. Moreover, its battery density is larger, and ultimately it provides 12.4 kWh.
Although it is not 13.2 kWh than DS 7 Crossback E-TENSE, the performance performance is not bad, and the pure voltage is 50km.
The new DS 4 E-TENSE (PHEV) plug provides an 180 HP Puretech 1.6T gasoline and 110 HP P2 motor combination, cumulative power is 225 HP. According to the information we know, the new DS 4 will not have a more powerful PHEV version other than this.
But on the other hand, the original PSA Group has been developed for a new gasoline engine that can provide 180 HP output before the merger, which is being in the evening of the Operation of the Operation of the Project Team. Responsible to advance.
Therefore, the gasoline engine portion, the new DS 4 provides three options, the first two are 1.6T engines, and provide two versions of 180HP and 225 HP like DS 7 Crossback. The other is a 1.2T engine that can output 130 HP, no 155HP option. 
The most unexpected “surprise” fromBlueHDI 130 power unit, that is, 1.5T diesel engine, and this machine is also a unique Diesel representative. Whether it is insertion, gasoline or diesel engine, all equipped with an eight-speed automatic gearbox (8AT) of the love letter.
[123 Finally, whether it is a fuel-or -cedated version of the model, it will have an EMP2 platform to enhance the deformable beam after the transformation of the deformable beam (torsion beam). According to internal engineers, the optimized rear suspension can be perfectly fitted with the DS Active Scan (Magic Carpet, Active) suspension system. This is a curious.
There is also a series of new technologies
[123
The previously mentioned DS Active Scan active suspension actually appeared on the DS 7 CrossBack, only However, it is a multi-link after a multi-link. However, from the perspective of technology and comfort, its goals are consistent.
The core of DS Active Scan is four active changing damping shock absorbers, and a camera at the top of the front windshield. This camera can read unlatted pavement information and adjust the damping of the damper to keep the passengers comfort.
In addition, the driving assistance system of the DS 4 also includes a night view function, and an alarm will also occur in the case of someone or animal crossing at night.
In fact, the upgrade of the lighting section also allows the new DS 4 full of blackSkill. A new lighting system called DS Matrix LED, saying is a light, actually more like a projector. DS Matrix LEDs have some similar things like the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, who has just listed.
Different from DS 7 CrossBack, the new DS 4 headlight No rotation, and the three lamps in one side also have more functions. For example, near the grid is a low-light lamp, the outside is a high beam, and the number of LED lamps inside all of the lamps reaches 98, and can adapt to environmental changes.
More interesting is the middle of the lamp, which can rotate 33.5deg according to the steering wheel; The light is strong and the length.
In intelligent driving assistance, the new DS 4 provides driving assistance transcendence of L2, called DS Drive Assist 2.0 in DS Drive Assist 2.0. Including an ACC, and automatic starting ACC, lane cord retention and turning deceleration, automatic overtaking, rear active brakes, etc.
In order to develop second generation DS 4, this French luxury brand spent a lot of time to study aesthetics, and new technologies. However, all the efforts are worthwhile, the new DS 4 just released, we ushered in the tide.
said that the emergence of new DS 4 means that the flagship sedan DS 9 is designed, especially in Europe, the C-section compact sedan has the left and right era. The advantages of power and acquisition of market share.
How to expand the existing 1.5% market share? There is no doubt that the heavy responsibility will fall on the new DS 4. And it will also challenge GLA / A-Class, 1 Series / X1, A3 and ThunderKarsas UX.
The new DS 4 has the correct new technologies: projection hud and LED headlights, DS Smart Touch Iris, Phev, magic carpets, can automatically change the L2 level automatic Driving …
But the most important thing is that it is the designer and engineer as a designer and engineer in the body ratio and the consistency of inside and outside. Result.
