Introducing the new DS N°4
The second model to be 100 percent solely electric from DS, the N°4 joins the N°8 in the range. Only the DS N°4 is also available as a hybrid, and plug-in hybrid too, meaning you can tailor make your car to your personal preference.
Either way, the DS N°4 is a premium compact hatchback whichever powertrain you opt for, which features cutting-edge technology and typical assertive design, intuitiveness, and dynamism.
Designed also to demonstrate the perfect balance between performance and elegance, the DS N°4 is a perfect addition to the avant-garde nature and character of the DS brand.
Design and Practicality
Known previously as the DS 4, the all-new N°4 complements the new design language as seen in the 4's sibling, the N°8, and so features DS' latest light signature with an illumined DS logo.
The DS logo sits proudly on the front of the N°4, whilst 'DS AUTOMOBILES' replaces the logo on the rear of the car, along with the N°4 name beneath.
Other front styling changes include a more sophisticated grille design, along with a redesigned bonnet.
Due to the varying powertrains, which are explained in more detail below, the practicality of the N°4 varies, depending on version. This means you can expect up to 430 litres of boot space in the hybrid version, 390 litres in the electric version, whilst the PHEV offers 360 litres.
Technology and Safety
The interior is full of updated technology, and also includes a decent amount of safety features, making driving easier, and enhancing peace of mind.
There's a brand-new 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, which complements the central digital infotainment screen. Both are sculptured nicely into the curvature of the dashboard to give a striking, yet sophisticated and modern vibe, that perfectly complements the overall high calibre feel of the new DS N°4.
As for safety, the N°4 offers DS DRIVE ASSIST 2.0, which allows for a a level 2 semi-autonomous driving experience. This is done via features like semi-automatic lane change and overtaking, as well as advance speed recommendation, which is done by the car reading signposts.
And, for added peace of mind this package also includes sensors that record everything that occurs in and around the car.
Engines and Performance
As mentioned previously, there will be a total of three different powertrains when it comes to DS N°4, allowing you to tailor your N°4 to your lifestyle.
There's a fully-electric version, which uses a single electric motor and 58.3kWh battery, producing 207bhp, whilst offering up to 280 miles of range.
There's also a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version, with a larger 14.6kWh battery, good for up to 50 miles of electric range. It's mated to a 178bhp turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which results in 222bhp.
Finally, a mild-hybrid completes the trio of powertrains, with a 143bhp petrol engine.
Charging
When it comes to charging the fully-electric version of the DS N°4 there are multiple ways to do so.
For those on the go, the electric DS N°4 has the ability to accept rapid-charging rates of up to 120kW, allowing for a 62-mile top-up in just 11 minutes. Furthermore, when using 120kW, it's possible to charge from 10 to 80 percent is around 37 minutes.
There is also the more traditional overnight/longer charging options which can be completed via a home wallbox. A home 7.4kW wallbox will take around 9 and a half hours to fully charge the DS N°4.
In regards to the PHEV version of the DS N°4, to recharge the 50 miles of electric range available, you can also use a 7.4kW wallbox, which will take around two hours. The hybrid version of the DS N°4 is self-charging, so is the only version which doesn't need plugging-in.
