The second generation DS 4 compact premium hatch deserves more recognition than it'll probably get. For us, this is the most interesting and distinctive car of its kind in this part of the market. There are sharp looks, a stand-out cabin - and the option of clever damping technology too. PHEV engine tech's there if you want it and all the powertrains are efficient. In short, there's lots to like if you don't mind the premium pricing.
The Stellantis Group's DS premium brand has yet to gain much traction in the UK. Here's where that has to change, with this car, the second generation DS 4.
A quick DS history to start with. The brand launched in stand-alone form in 2015, mostly re-badging sportier Citroens until it could launch its own design, the DS 7 Crossback SUV, in 2017. Since then, we've had the first generation DS 4 model, which sold between 2015 and 2019 and which almost nobody bought. Then the small but rather curious-looking DS 3 Crossback. Followed more recently by the even rarer DS 9 upper mid-sized saloon. Nothing though, to really get people talking. But this second generation DS 4 just might.
Surprisingly, for the time being anyway, DS isn't making a slightly larger compact SUV than the DS 3 Crossback. Which means that this DS 4, though really a compact premium hatch taking on the Audi A3 Sportback, the BMW 1 Series and the Mercedes A-Class, must also try and appeal to people who might want a compact premium SUV like, say, an Audi Q3, a BMW X1 or a Mercedes GLA. That's a lot to ask - from a car with a lot to prove. Can it deliver?

An absolutely beautiful car, on my bucket list but sadly out of my reach.
But, my oh my, DS has got their act together nowadays. Superb and gorgeous range.
Well done DS.
Germán engineering with French design. Exclusive enough. Best car of 2022
German engineering where?
@@00kirbyd Same platform with the Opel Astra.
And is made in Russelheim, Germany
@@cvillalobos27 ah but it's a Stellantis designed platform. I don't think it was engineered by Germans. German built, French car maybe?
@@00kirbyd you are absolutely right. If it is that, I would say it is the best combination
really beautifull
A wet belt engine a time bomb when the belt breaks the engine is scrap
Just change it in good time..
@@heinedenmark I've seen engines with as little as 30 thousand km go bang its a stupid idea
Beautiful! Maybe too late French cars don't really exist anymore. Faded away like Fiat.
Sorry worng review different car
Maybe if it was electric
You need to work on editing, all that fake...multiple camera shots looks ridiculous like @2.30 lol you are paused way too long with the back to the camera for it to look good
