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 210hp 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.

Is this cheap for an EV?, is all the tech these Days standard? , seems like a lot of car or should I say all the car you'd need?.
Personally I wouldn't imagine changing the name from DS4 to No4 will make that much difference to sales of DS Automobiles here in the UK, if the DS4 is the marque's best selling car it's still selling less than 200 units per month so is worthwhile carrying on? perhaps it would be a better idea after 11 years as an independent marque to take it back under the Citroen name
37k and no heat pump, standand on a 23k Renault 5e. Without one it'll be even further away from the 278 miles from a 58kwh battery optimistic claim.
