Overview

  • DS adopts a new 2025 'No' naming strategy, rebranding the DS 4 as No4 alongside the flagship No8.
  • Line‑up includes a 143 bhp 1.2 hybrid, a 222 bhp 1.6 plug‑in with a 14.6 kWh battery and up to 50 miles electric range, plus a Europe‑only diesel, with boot space at 430 litres for hybrids and 390 litres for the EV.
  • Reviewers say the E‑Tense electric delivers the quietest, most refined drive, while the plug‑in hybrid can feel raucous when pushed.
  • UK pricing is set at £32,200–£37,400 for hybrids, £39,000–£44,200 for the plug‑in hybrid, and £36,995–£41,860 for the pure‑electric.
  • DS pitches the No4 against the Audi A3, BMW 1 Series and Mercedes‑Benz A‑Class, with its premium breakthrough still unproven and differentiation from Stellantis siblings described as modest.
