Detailed analysis of the DS 4 e-HDi 115 ETG6 Design · 114 CV (2015)
General description
The 2014 DS 4 is not just any car; it's a statement of intent. Born from a bold fusion of sedan elegance and crossover robustness, it offers a driving experience that speaks directly to the heart. With its Parisian soul, this premium compact breaks away from German sobriety to propose a journey full of style and distinction.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the 114-horsepower e-HDi engine feels willing and surprisingly frugal, an ideal companion for long journeys. Its 285 Nm of torque pushes decisively from low revs, although the ETG6 automated manual gearbox requires an adaptation period due to its particular smoothness. It doesn't seek extreme sportiness, but rather superb ride comfort, with a suspension that filters out road imperfections and a raised driving position that conveys a pleasant sense of command and safety.
Design and aesthetics
Its design is pure seduction. The coupé silhouette, with hidden rear door handles, deceives the eye and instantly captivates. Every line, every chrome detail, and its higher ground clearance scream exclusivity. Inside, the atmosphere is equally special, with a panoramic windshield that floods the cabin with light and materials that caress the senses, creating a haven of luxury and French good taste.
Technology and features
Ahead of its time in certain aspects, the DS 4 incorporated technologies designed for comfort and efficiency. The Stop & Start system operates discreetly to reduce fuel consumption in the city, while the electro-hydraulic steering offers a precise feel. Although its infotainment system is not the most modern today, it more than met the expectations of the time, integrating navigation and connectivity to make every journey simpler.
Competition
In such a competitive market, the DS 4 bravely faced the titans of the premium segment like the Audi A3, the BMW 1 Series, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Its proposition was different, less focused on pure performance and more on design and comfort, which also made it a sophisticated alternative to high-end versions of the Volkswagen Golf.
Conclusion
The DS 4 is a passionate purchase, a car for those who seek to stand out and enjoy the road from a unique perspective. It is the perfect combination of avant-garde design, exceptional comfort, and the efficiency of a capable diesel engine. It is not the most practical or the sportiest, but its ability to make you feel special with every kilometer is a luxury that few compacts can offer.
