Peugeot publicly acknowledged the errors of the PureTech engine, which caused serious failures in hundreds of thousands of cars, and introduced the new Turbo 100 as a definitive solution, a 1.2 turbo tested for over 3 million kilometers that replaces the faulty belt with a more durable chain.
The mechanical offer includes a self-recharging hybrid of 145 hp, a plug-in hybrid with a combined power of 225 hp, and a fully electric E-TENSE version with 213 hp, expanding the range for urban and highway use.
The declared range of the DS Nº4 E-TENSE reaches up to 450 km according to the WLTP standard, a value associated with a 58.3 kWh battery and average consumption between 15.2 and 15.5 kWh per 100 km.
The electric system features three levels of regenerative braking and fast charging capability of up to 120 kW, allowing recovery of 100 km of range in approximately 11 minutes, according to the model’s specifications.
Dimensions and Design Proposal of the Premium Sedan
The DS Nº4 measures 4.40 meters in length, 1.87 meters in width, and 1.49 meters in height, dimensions that position it among the largest in the C segment and reinforce its balanced visual presence.
The front optical assembly is marked by a lighting signature that connects the ends of the bumper to the illuminated DS logo, while the rear LED taillights feature a Dark Chrome finish with laser engraving.
The proportions and visual elements were inspired by the DS E-TENSE Performance concept, aiming to convey a visual identity consistent with the electrified strategy adopted by the brand for its current models.
Plug-In Hybrid and Self-Recharging Hybrid Expand the Range
The DS Nº4 Plug-In Hybrid combines a 180 hp combustion engine with a 125 hp electric motor, totaling 225 hp and a combined torque of 360 Nm, along with a 14.6 kWh battery.
This configuration allows for an electric range of up to 81 km, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds, and charging options at 3.7 kW or 7.4 kW, adapting to different infrastructures.
The DS Nº4 HYBRID delivers a combined power of 145 hp, using a three-cylinder gasoline engine and a 28 hp electric unit, with operation in electric mode for up to 50% of the time.
This version records emissions starting from 116 g/km of CO₂ and does not require external charging, maintaining smooth driving and reduced consumption, according to data released by the brand.
Artisanal Interior and Connectivity Technologies
The interior of the DS Nº4 uses materials such as Criollo Nappa leather, ash wood, and Clous de Paris relief, applied with artisanal techniques that characterize the premium positioning of the model.
The DS IRIS multimedia system combines connected navigation, voice recognition, and integration with ChatGPT, allowing interaction through natural commands for queries, directions, and vehicle functions in real-time.
The model also incorporates over-the-air remote updates, the MyDS app, charging management, thermal pre-conditioning, and electronic route services, expanding the digital ecosystem of the sedan.
Versions, Safety, and Extended Warranty
The DS Nº4 lineup is offered in PALLAS, ÉTOILE, and JULES VERNE trims, differentiated by internal materials, equipment levels, and exclusive finishing details.
Among the driver assistance systems are adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane alert, and sign recognition, with additional features such as DS MATRIX LED VISION and DS DRIVE ASSIST in higher trims.
The DS SERENITY program accompanies the model with a warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 km, 24-hour assistance in 47 countries, coverage of the infotainment system, and a loaner vehicle, completing the support proposal for the user.
