In this video I'm driving the 2021 DS4 around the Chantilly region Near Paris, on some really French roads with some really French music. I stop over at a chateau to walk around the DS 4.
My test car is a 'La Première' version, which has a “1” badge at the front. Color is Lacquered Gray with a gloss black roof.
The 180 horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine is paired with a 110 horsepower electric motor integrated into the 8-speed automatic gearbox, providing 225 cumulative horsepower.
The DS MATRIX LED VISION projector headlights include Matrix Beam and Dynamic Bending Light (lighting that adapts when turning into corners).
In the back there's the laser-cut rear lights, looking very futuristic.
When we take a look at the profile, it sits on huge 20" rims and it has fancy retracting door handles.
The DS 4 is partly coupe, hatchback and crossover, it is taller and longer than the latest models on the same platform, such as the Peugeot 308 and the Opel Astra. It is also more expensive and more luxurious.

What do you think of this new DS 4? Had a blast driving this high-tech crossover through France. And I must admit I quite like it :)!
Hi Marek, I'm not 100% sure. I always activated steer / lane assist together with the Adaptive Cruise Control, but if I recall correctly, it can also be switched on or off separately in the assist menu. Thanks for watching & commenting! ✌️
In terms of design the new Citroen C4 & C5X is way more original and fresh, sci-fi looking. Except for some features, DS4 has a more common design like Lexus or Audi. Probably this is what they wanted.
@stevey2281 Exactly, Citroën dares to be more of the enfant terrible (with some nice but also some ugly cars tbh :), where DS focusses on luxury lifestyle and class.
I drove the DS3 crossback for a good while (over 20.000km).
It's a comfortable car to drive, but the main problem for me was the appalling bad room in the back seats and the limited boot space. (Driving an Astra atm, it's better on both accounts). I was hoping the DS4 would be the DS3 crossback done right.
If the backseats are still cramped, but only a little less so, that's still not a winner in my book.
When we look at the PSA range, the Mokka has the same problem.
Only the 2008 has decent room in the back seats in the PSA smaller SUV range. How does the DS4 compare to the 2008 in terms of that, do you think?
What i think? an unnecessary car to go from point A to B with useless gadgets. I prefer my nissan bluebird turbo from 1987. This DS4 will never see 34 years on its chasis....
I ordered a Performnce Line E tense in January,I can't wait till it arrives :)
Same here!!! It's due on the 5th of September, super excited!
The sound system is amazing. Looks stunning.
It really is! Yes, I love what they did with the design.
Absolutely stunning! - drives great, seats are very comfortable - they're like armchairs and very supportive. My only negatives are that the back doors only open a little bit, cheapest leather material used for interior dashboards to get easy scratch and also the rear seat space is a bit tight, not ideal for kids or and car seats. It doesn't hold its resale value very well, but apart from that it's a great car.
What a beautiful car...I really wish Citroen would come to Canada...I'd buy a DS in a heart beat
I didn’t even realize you can’t buy them there. I assumed DS ( & Citroën) were sold globally. 😅
@@johnnypovdrives no they don’t and that’s very unfortunate, we have Mercedes, Audi, BMW, Japanese cars, USA ones obviously and Korean but no French cars and that’s too bad, I’m 💯 sure they would do amazing here.
@@franckseverac6709 That's a shame indeed. I can only hope that with the merger of PSA and FCA in the Stellantis group, you can get these cars in the future!
Don t it s a shitty car
@@johnnypovdrives unfortunately their CEO said in an interview that the group is already selling cars in the US through Chrysler I believe? And that it wouldn’t make sense to bring DS or Peugeot… I would also love to get one there
Fantastic car!!!
Magnifique ! Superbe ! Tout y est !!
Heureux que vous soyez si enthousiaste, merci de regarder ! ✌️😁
@@johnnypovdrives falta um VERDADEIRO TECTO DE ABRIR ELÉCTRICO para deixar entrar bar no Verão. Diga aos burros da Citroen que nem toda a gente gosta do Ar Condicionado!!
Sendo assim, não compro este carro.
@@AguiaImperial Eu digo-lhes. E torná-lo um descapotável! ✌️😎☀️
Great car, great presentation 👍
Thank you! ✨🙏✨
Great review. No talking but I learned a lot. I really like this car but DS is unfortunately a very smaller seller. The sound system is amazing
Thanks for watching, glad you like my videos! Yes, DS is growing, but still a little player globally. 🤷♂️
Really like your video. It makes me heal
So glad I can help! 🧘♂️ Thanks for watching.
Top video! Un grand merci venant de France :)
Merci! ✨🙏✨
Great Car i maybe switch from my DS7 to this one, i'm waithing to drive it❤👍
It is really nice, can't compare it with the DS7 though, it's been too long since I drove that. Thanks for watching!
Very nice and the colour
🙏 thanks for watching!
Wow i loved the video of. The most stunning vehicle. Rear seat a bit cramped.? Thanks
Thanks! Yes the rear seat isn’t very spacious but sufficient for an adult on short drives.
маркетинг DS4 в России будет в июле 2022 года, ответ менеджера DS 😉
Супер, мне очень интересно посмотреть, сколько их будет продано!
Wow very top car in segment. Te new A3 Is a cheap car , very good DS4
Yes, I think this could be competition for an Audi A3. :)
Thx for this cool no talking review. Shit, the Raray Castle is 2 minutes from my home, I would have like to know there were a DS4 test there as it will probably be my next car 😄
Actually there were about 20 cars on this event, all on that same route during several days, you missed it! 😅 Great car, really. 👌
Such a nice fresh design! All those new details and those Chinese brands can't even get a dam thing without coping and blending detail from other brands expecting we don't realize where they copy from...... Great review! closer to the experience of getting in the vehicle
Thanks a lot! ✨🙏✨

Wow looks like it should cost £80,000 amazing looking
Hot 💥💥💥
🔥🔥🔥
Looks really good inside and out... When DS makes full electric cars with a platform which is designed only for BEVs I will consider buying one.
Yes, I was surprised to see how luxurious it was, did not expect that :). No idea though when the full BEV DS cars will be launched. Thanks for watching!

Im Laufe des Jahrzehnts
Believe it or not, I saw one of these in a Tesco car park here in the UK. I actually really like the stying Citroen has put into these. But, personally, it wouldn’t be all to practical for our needs, we’ve got horses and dogs, so we need an suv. My mum currently has a Suzuki S Cross. Greetings from Brighton and Hove in the UK.
Really like the looks, considering that I'm not normally interested in crossover-y things, but the rear legroom looks disappointing TBH.
It is ok with 2 adults & 2 kids, but with 4 adults it's no GT for long distance travel
Это космолет!никогда сам не водил машину,но такую бы хотел свою!
Рад, что вам понравилось, надеюсь, когда-нибудь вы сможете водить машину, это действительно весело :). Спасибо за просмотр!

Schaut gut aus und Platz für eine Person ist ausreichend
Stimmt. Es ist zwar nicht das geräumigste Auto, aber nicht jeder braucht den Platz für 4 oder 5 Personen.
Molto bella!!
✨🙏✨
Прекрасный автомобиль! Жаль, что не продается в России...
Может быть, когда-нибудь! 🙏✨

@@aym8799 Правда? Спасибо, что сообщили мне об этом, любопытно посмотреть, как он будет работать в России!
Some very nice trim and detailing, but Citroen need to up their game with the instrument clusters - like on C5X this has a poor digital gauge where a really classy set of digital read puts would help it feel more premium.
It’s not perfect. But they’re making big steps forward with DS. 👌
Αυτη ειναι παρουσιαση...bravo
ευχαριστώ 🙏
At least french people know how to integrate displays into the dash
I've just driven the Peugeot 508 PSE, that dash display - with night vision - was insane!
It looks gorgeous and I know it's not a hot hatch, but 0-100 in 8 seconds is not good for top end powertrain.
There will be a faster - non hybrid - version available. But indeed this 225 hp version is not the fastest…
@@johnnypovdrives interesting. But yeah, it makes sense (no batteries = lower weight). Too bad the new 308 SW (in which I'm really interested) doesn't offer classic thp 225.
But the regular 308 does if I’m correct? A Hybrid 225 edition?
@@johnnypovdrives 308 II (GT) was available with thp 205 & manual (2015), facelift was thp 225 and automatic gearbox (2018). New model is only available as hybrid 180/225. The only "classic" engines are 1.2 thp 130 and 1.5 hdi 130 which is kinda sad.
I guess that will be the trend for the near future, before we all go full EV :)
Apple CarPlay wireless?
Not 100% sure, need to test it next time. Thanks for watching!
I am 5’10” tall but with the driver’s seat set for me, I literally couldn’t fit my legs into the rear footwell! It is so tiny in the back seat with no useable legroom!
True. It’s a challenge… rear seat is best for small kids or passengers without legs! Still like the looks of this DS4 though. 🥰
Nice car, but I have one question. What is the consumption in normal a mode? Is that 1,4 l/100 km real value?
Depends really on how you drive it. I've driven it when the consumption was as lot higher, but at the same time I was charging the battery from the petrol engine. In Hybrid mode and without silly driving, you could average the 1,5 to 2l/100 km I guess. Thanks for watching!
Of course not.
@@fruitycoconut if you’re being very careful and in the right weather conditions :)
Are you filming in 20fps ? looks weird
Just regular 4K 25fps. What does?
Great car bad music on radio:)
A real-life test of a French car in France. ✌️😄 Thanks for watching!
100 razy lepszy od toyoty chr
Toyota również robi dobre samochody od czasu do czasu…✌️😄
What’s the 0-100 accelarition time?
Great, not once did you show the car from the side to check out the most important part, the proportions !
I still don't know how the car looks like, just details ...
Yes, that’s the thing with these POV driving videos… Here’s a review from that exact same car, it’s in Dutch but there should be English subtitles: th-cam.com/video/i6pEIrXZ22U/w-d-xo.html
Hope you find what you’re looking for! ✌️😄
просто супер
Спасибо! 🙏
bien les commentaires
De fortes émotions dans les commentaires chaque fois que je teste des voitures françaises. 😄
This car reminds me of nokia prism phones series
Yes, absolutely! Now I see it too! 👊😄
Vidus užbūrė kaip kadais 1984 m. Renault 25. Na, o jei siekiant atitikimo pagal bendroves, tai 1989 m. Citroen XM.
Taip, jie išbandė kažką naujo ir man labai patinka, kaip tai atrodo. Man visada patiko XM vairas. Ačiū, kad žiūrėjote!
My tiny house...
You have one already?
How much is this car?
- DS 4 Bastille: from € 28.400
- DS 4 La Première E-TENSE 225 (the one I drive in the video): from € 46.000
Oh God. I couldn’t sit in the back of that car. My knees would be crushed to their wits end. I’m 5:9, and I’ve got really long legs, so that would be incredibly uncomfortable for me. (I’ve just noticed, I’ve got the same trainers as you!) Greetings from across the channel, in Brighton And Hove UK! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I'm 5.95 and it isn't comfy in the back :). Thanks for watching!
is this an SUV?
kinda... it's a crossover, so they couldn't find a label for it ✌️😄
It is a beatiful car but it is too expensive.
You get a lot of tech for the money. DS is quite expensive but also profiling itself as a luxury brand.
3:20
Um carro tão lindo e requintado e nem sequer tem o verdadeiro tecfto de abrir eléctrico para deixar entrar ar no Verão!!!!!!! é que nem tod a gente gosta de Ar Condicionado srs. chefões da Citroen!!!!!!
Sois mesmo bipolares, ou seja, sois inteligentes e burros ao mesmo tempo!!!
Ponham lá nesse carro um VERDADEIRO TECTO DE ABRIR ELÉCTRICO.
Posso imaginar que um telhado realmente aberto é mais importante nos países quentes do que nos países do Norte. E eu não fazia ideia de que o telhado aberto não era uma opção! 😁
So great... but too expensive... It remains a French car, not a French luxury bag.
DS Hermès would be nice! 🥳
The only problem is that it's often a bit underpowered, but long live the pro-electric governments and their bullshit regulations. Otherwise, the quality of finish and comfort on board is enough to worry the premium brands...
@@akkrezz2859 absolutely! Love the interior concept. Didn’t really mind the power, it’s ok for daily commuting in style ✌️😎
When i see door handle like this it makes me nauseous. Don't know why.
Maybe because there's always a chance that they will close just when you put your fingers in. 😄
kilka osób w Polsce może kupi za 230 000zł
To jest około 50.000 euro? Jest DS4 225 e-tense od € 42,150, jak sądzę.
2ltr is needed or two motors with 90 kw pac topping 300 hp , it will then go as it looks, lovely finish all looks no go 😡
It looks faster than it is. But more punch also means less range… choices. 🤷♂️
Vi siete dimenticati di dire il prezzo o magari avete vergogna
No, il prezzo è semplicemente diverso in tutti i paesi. Quest'auto costerebbe circa 53.000 euro.
very loud inside
absolutely, noise canceling headphones are a plus 🎧
Not usable as an only car for a family with kids.
Traveling with 2 kids might be a challenge in any compact SUV or crossover, but for everyday use it’s quite alright. You mean it is too small?
@@johnnypovdrives yes, many new cars, especially electric vehicles, come out as trendy compact suv's or some kind of crossover...but they don't have enough luggage space, especially for families with smaller children who need some kind of stroller. Wouldn't want to use a roof box, even for weekend trips or visiting grand parents etc...really sad, that the good old practical estate is dying out.
Hi Ron, I get it now, thanks for explaining. Indeed difficult as only family car. Good thing there will always be Kangoos and Partners for practicality. 😄
Ds es sólo premium a la hora de facturar.
Como cliente de la marca no recomiendo a nadie que se compre un Ds, yo tengo un ds4 del 2017 y me dio error avería motor+urea, un defecto de fábrica del cual hemos tenido que asumir nosotros el coste total de reparación, 1400 euros obligados en parte porque necesitamos el coche para ir a trabajar.
Si buscáis en redes, hay una plataforma de cientos y miles de clientes del grupo Psa en España afectados por esta avería.
Porque te compraste un Citroën chaval
Too bad its FWD
No casual drifting in this one ✌️😅
Au volan de ma Mercedes 🤦♂️🙅♂️
I see a lot of Audi in it
No room..
Not much indeed, form before function :). Thanks for watching!
뒷자석 졸라 좁네 뭐하러 살까?🤔
뒷좌석은 이 차의 앞쪽에 있습니다. 🙃 (Google Translate 😅).
Not a full EV only, so no thanks, old tech in a new shell
But a nice shell though. A full EV version will come.
Those grey cars just looks so….hideous! 😫
Even white s acceptable in this beauty though!👍🏻
I feel ya, grey is just dull. But I must admit that this grey was quite ok. Looks classy without the metal flake, bit like what Audi / Porsche are up to.
Wystarczy - 5 stopni i trochę lodu, śniegu i nie wejdziesz do auta🤣 przerost formy nad treścią... Jakby nie można było zrobić normalniej klamki
Copy Lexus RX
There is definitely some resemblance, the sharp lines in the silhouette and parts of the front. Rear looks better on the DS imo and I guess the DS looks a bit more dynamic overall.
quel dommage ce gris souris
Ce n'est pas si mal, en fait ; la couleur rappelle un peu le gris Nardo d'Audi.
Auto francesi 🤮
Oui! 🤗
Oh oui DS4 bla-bla une voiture pour 2 en definif pas de places à l arrière,un coffre ridicule on vous vends plus une tablette qu une voiture une bonne gueule mais une bonne dobasse à quoi minimum 40000€?
Non merci
Une daubasse ? Wow, faut vraiment rien y connaître dans l'automobile pour dire ça, j'aimerai bien savoir que c'est pour toi une "non-daubasse", j'ai envie de rire stp
Ça, dépend, tant que les enfants ne dépassent pas 11 ou 12 ans, la place est bien suffisante. La réalité est que les jeunes parents n'ont de toute manière généralement pas les moyens d'acheter une voiture à plus de 10 000 euros...
Nicolas, achète une Dacia Lodgy et n'embête pas ceux qui aiment les belles voitures...
Il s'agit en effet d'une voiture faite pour être conduite dans le luxe et le confort. Et son prix est en conséquence. Si vous souhaitez une facilité d'utilisation optimale à un prix réduit, Citroën vous propose d'autres solutions.
DS devrait y regarder à 2 fois avant de confier ses voitures à des conducteurs en excès de vitesse, et qui pondent des vidéos minables. Totalement incompétent!
Dommage que vous n'aimiez pas la vidéo. On ne fait ça que sur des routes vides avec une vue dégagée. Nous testons les voitures de la manière dont elles seront conduites dans la réalité. J'ai été dépassé plusieurs fois par des conducteurs français lors de ce test... ✌️
Easy there champ, what exactly is wrong with this video? Been thinking of actually buying one because of this video...
@@jonasvissermans7996 ✨🙏✨ thanks man!
Et vous vous êtes un saint vous n'avez jamais été hors la loi, vous n'avez jamais glissé un stop, ou été en excès de vitesse. Gros débile...
