The heavily facelifted DS 4 will arrive in October, with prices starting at just under £37,000 for its first ever electric variant.
As part of the major update unveiled in May, the C-Segment hatchback receives a fresh look and a new name – No4.
EV buyers are offered a single powertrain option, which combines a 58.3kWh (total) battery for 278 miles of range with a single electric motor that sends 210bhp and 253lb ft of torque to the front wheels.
This is the same powertrain as the similarly sized Peugeot e-408 and recently facelifted Citroën ë-C4, meaning the new DS can be rapid-charged at rates of up to 120kW, allowing for a 62-mile top-up in 11 minutes.
For £36,995, buyers get the base-level Pallas trim, which includes dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control and a bigger (10.25in) digital instrument cluster than before.
Pallas+ trim – which adds a heat pump and keyless entry – moves the price up to £39,160, with the range topping out at Étoile – adding an Alcantara dashboard and a 360deg camera – at £41,860.
The hatchback is also still offered with a 146bhp mild-hybrid petrol and 222bhp plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The latter set-up offers up to 50 miles of electric-only range (via a 14.6kWh battery), 30% more than the one it replaces.
Pricing starts in Pallas+ trim at £32,200 for the mild hybrid (the cheapest variant sold) and £39,00 for the PHEV.
The range tops out at £37,400 and £44,200 respectively in Étoile Nappa. Not available with an electric powertrain brings a Criollo Brown nappa leather interior.
The 4 has been DS's best-selling model in the UK since its 2021 launch, albeit with just 2300 sales.
While it has done much better in Europe, amassing 10,405 sales in 2024, DS is struggling, with overall deliveries dipping 22.4% last year.
It was recently suggested that parent company Stellantis was ready to offload DS last year, but instead it publicly backed the brand.
In a bid to rejuvenate itself, DS has brought to market a new flagship SUV in the No8 and given its best-seller a wide-reaching update.
