Detailed analysis of the Citroën DS4 e-HDi 115 Airdream Style · 114 CV (2013-2014)
General description
The 2011 Citroën DS4 burst onto the market as a bold and different proposition, a car that refused to be pigeonholed. This e-HDi 115 Airdream Style version represents the perfect balance between the efficiency of its diesel engine and a design that, years later, still turns heads. It's a car for those who are looking for more than just a means of transport; it's a statement of intent on wheels.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the DS4 offers a unique driving experience. Its elevated position gives you a sense of control and visibility superior to that of a traditional compact, almost as if you were in a small crossover. The 114-horsepower e-HDi engine, while not a powerhouse of sportiness, pulls confidently from low revs thanks to its generous 285 Nm of torque. The suspension strikes an admirable compromise between comfort and firmness, absorbing bumps without sacrificing good composure in corners. It's a car that invites you to eat up the miles with a smoothness and poise that envelop you on every journey.
Design and aesthetics
Design is, without a doubt, the soul of the DS4. Citroën defined it as a raised five-door coupé, and that mix of concepts is palpable in every line. Its muscular silhouette, marked wheel arches and, above all, the rear door handles hidden in the frame, give it the appearance of a three-door coupé. It's a car that plays with shapes and proportions, creating a sculptural and dynamic aesthetic. A controversial but characteristic detail is its fixed rear windows, a sacrifice for the sake of the purity of its spectacular design.
Technology and features
Although it's a 2011 model, the DS4 e-HDi incorporated interesting technologies for its time, such as the Stop & Start system that contributed to its excellent fuel consumption. The electro-hydraulic steering offered good feel and the instrumentation, with the ability to change the background color, added a touch of personalization. You won't find today's giant touch screens, but its equipment was comprehensive, seeking to offer a premium and comfortable experience for its occupants.
Competition
At the time, the DS4 faced fierce competition in the premium compact segment. It competed directly with giants like the Volkswagen Golf, the Audi A3, or the BMW 1 Series. However, due to its unique concept, it could also steal customers from models with a more pronounced design focus like the Alfa Romeo Giulietta or even the first compact crossovers that were beginning to emerge. Its great asset was offering a style and personality that its more sober rivals could not match.
Conclusion
The Citroën DS4 e-HDi 115 is a car with an overwhelming personality. It is the perfect choice for the driver who values design and distinction above all else, but without giving up the practicality of five doors and an extraordinarily efficient diesel engine. It's a car that makes you fall in love with its aesthetics and convinces you with its ride comfort and low fuel consumption. A gem of automotive design that proved you could be different and successful.
