Detailed analysis of the Citroën DS4 HDi 90 Design · 92 CV (2012-2014)

General description

The 2011 Citroën DS4 is not just any car; it's a statement of intent. Born under the motto 'Créative Technologie', this model dared to break the mold, merging the elegance of a sedan, the silhouette of a coupé, and a subtle crossover height. It's a car that chooses you as much as you choose it, promising a different experience from the very first glance.

Driving experience

Behind the wheel, the DS4 with its 92 HP HDi engine envelops you in an atmosphere of tranquility and efficiency. It doesn't aim for lightning-fast starts, but rather to offer a pleasant and serene journey, with extraordinarily low consumption that will make you smile at every gas station. Its five-speed manual transmission is smooth, and the suspension filters out imperfections with Citroën's mastery, while the elevated driving position gives you a sense of control and security that inspires confidence with every kilometer.

Design and aesthetics

Its design is pure emotion. It looks like a three-door coupé but hides the practicality of five thanks to its rear handles camouflaged in the C-pillar. The muscular lines, high waistline, and its panoramic windshield that merges with the roof create a unique and captivating silhouette. It's a sculpture in motion, a car that turns heads and feels special and distinct in a sea of conventional designs.

Technology and features

Although it wasn't the pinnacle of technology, the DS4 integrated intelligent solutions for its time. The electro-hydraulic steering offered good feedback, and the interior stood out for the quality of its materials and fit, creating a premium atmosphere. Elements like the panoramic windshield, the quality audio system, and a customizable instrument panel demonstrated the brand's effort to offer a sophisticated and driver-focused onboard experience.

Competition

The DS4 played in a league of its own, halfway between several worlds. Due to its premium aspirations and attention to detail, it glanced at models like the Audi A3 or the BMW 1 Series. However, in terms of price and concept, it also competed with the most equipped versions of mainstream compacts with character, such as the Volkswagen Golf, the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, or the Lancia Delta, cars that also relied on style to differentiate themselves.

Conclusion

The Citroën DS4 HDi 90 is a car for the heart. It is the perfect choice for those who seek to escape the ordinary and value design, comfort, and efficiency over pure sportiness. It was a brave attempt by Citroën to redefine the compact car, and the result is a vehicle with an unmistakable soul that, even today, feels fresh and original.
