DS4 2016 FULL REVIEW - CAR & DRIVING

The Peugeot Citroen Group's premium DS brand continues the rejuvenation of its model range with this much improved version of a DS4 model originally launched under the Citroen banner. This revised design is a fully-fledged member of the DS range - and we're told that the difference is important. There's a proper DS-style front end, more of a premium feel and, if you want it, the option of a 'Crossback' bodystyle with roof bars and a higher ride height aimed at buyers attracted by sportier crossover models.
It's certainly a different way to go if you were looking for an up-market Golf or Focus-sized family hatch and wanted something a little sportier and more individual, yet needed to stay within a reasonable budget. The efficient engine range will also be quite a draw too, as will the considerable scope for buyer personalisation.
