You don't get half of the tech and material quality, even on X3 or Q3. Also the "legend" of blasting on autobahn... most Germans tend to drive efficiently there, around 140km, and for that, DS does a fine job. 90% of drivers don't need those huge motors for most of the time. I drove through all Germany with 225hp Peugeot 508, and it was superb and very efficient motor. Never felt needing for more, be those mountains or autobahn. I own DS7, and can 100% say, it's much better than most German rivals in the same, and even higher price segment.
Waiting for my test drive and probably it will be my next car. A very beautiful car in my opinion with better price than Germans. German cars has almost everything optional
I’m a massive fan of the DS cars and am hoping to purchase the DS4 hybrid sometime this year. The Citroen/ DS Marque has moved light years ahead of its poor past, fair play to them.👍 An excellent review as well, thank you so much🙏🙏
I have a DS7 in China where she is manufactured. She's very beautiful and runs perfectly. I'm not a car racer or technical maniac. I bought her just for her unique French elegance. Am I the only one who hate the boring Geramn desigh and confused by the painfully absurd Japanese design?
Careful with the facts, Opel was a German brand purchased by General Motors of America and now under the PSA drivetrain Group owned by Peugeot and make many brands and parts for companies like BMW. Nothing is that simple in the car manufacturing world. You are right that this car will be built in the Russelsheim plant but so is the Vauxhall Astra and others, it’s a PSA plant, Opel is only a brand. My previous BMW was built in America and finished off in Germany.
@@teddyboysdontknit810 and now? I see no mistake in my statement. And that BMW prouduced the X3 and X5 Series in USA its not a Problem for me. Therefore opend Tesla next time a Carfactory in Brandenburg/Germany for Model Y.
I think that any of the German manufacturers seem to have lost the plot regarding design and seem to have fallen into the trap that Austin/Morris/British Leyland/Rover did all those years ago where they stagnated for a few years with old designs and not paying attention to what the opposition was doing!
Looks great, drives great, seats are very comfortable - they're like armchairs and very supportive. My only negatives are that the back doors only open a little bit, cheapest leather material used for interior dashboards to get easy scratch and also the rear seat space is a bit tight, not ideal for kids or and car seats. It doesn't hold its resale value very well, but apart from that it's a great car.
I have the last model ds4 and everything is more or less original on it, its done 95k and its all original suspension components, clutch, gearbox, ball joints, bar the brakes and tyres and timing belt at 88k iv had no issues whatsoever with it service every 6k did have a issue with the dpf during lockdown but put some dpf cleaning foam direct onto the dpf not had a problem since. The quality is far better than alot of previous French cars in the category.
Beautiful car. Does anyone know how reliable DS cars are? I'm looking for a new car soon. I'm considering the Lexus Nx but this could be a possibility. Thanks for any replies.👍😉
They kicked off with metallic paint at 27k sterling£ April may 22 , I just looked last week .They now start at over 33 k 5 to 6 thousand more , they didn't say at showroom launching the way this is a special introductory price for a limited time . 20% more 16 months later lol. ?????????
Most of Europe are German car obsessed, the UK especially. It’s a nice alternative to a German car but because it’s French means it will sell in relatively low numbers.
Super beautiful cr from Citro-no DS. Would like a little more of the tecnic side and less smalltalk about other and indifferent cars as BMW and stuff. Otherwise a nice presentation
All due respect, Please reconsider your decision to buy this car... I bought the 2023 model and have been dealing with its absurdities for a year. While driving, all the screens go out, I can't turn off the air conditioning, I can't see my speed, and I can't disable lane assist or the start-stop function. In short, I can't perform any actions that are controlled through the screens.
Does this guy ever critic cars? It’s awful looking like all cars these days.! And 30 miles electric range 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what’s the point of that?! I’m off to buy a mazda mx5 while proper cars still exist 😢

I’m 5’10” and, with the front seat set up for me, I literally couldn’t fit in the rear seat behind the driver’s seat. I would hasten to add, I like to be near the steering wheel so would ideally have liked to have slid the driver’s seat about another 1/2”!
The problem is, most of the appealing features of this car that make it special cost a ton extra. The standard model, albeit looking good doesn’t get you that far
Good to see a properly integrated centre screen, instead of those 'tablets superglued to the dash' like in the C4, and almost every other car/SUV on the road! BUT, those DS grilles! SOOO fussy, and NOT attractive! This is as bad as the grille on the DS9!
I had a ds3 crossback and the software on the Infotainment was horrid and dated...this while new looks the same and has the main issue I hated....the satnav does not cover the whole screen it's boxed in which is horrid
"Can it really rival the Germans?"... No, probably not. Has this question been needlessly and tediously asked every time the French and Citroen claim to do this? Er, yes for about 20 years.
@@chazsach6594 nope, look at your super market and your gas station, it’s only the beginning. Prepare the candles, we will soon switch off the electricity.
Why do you think that? Self charging hybrids is non sense, plug in is the way hybrid should be. Average person drives below 30 miles 90% of the time, therefore they can do 90% of driving in electric only.
Nowadays German cars seem so sad comparing to this beauty, i'do go for a DS for sure, beautiful car !

Nice review of a very unique car. Future buyer for sure!

Better than German cars

Fact...the DS4 is prouduced by Opel in Rüsselsheim/Germany

Most of Europe are German car obsessed, the UK especially. It’s a nice alternative to a German car but because it’s French means it will sell in relatively low numbers.
It seems to be because the Germans pretty much built their reputation from the past, and now we are too stubborn to move on and look elsewhere
