The DS 4 range continues to be offered with the PureTech 130 petrol with an automatic transmission, the BlueHDi 130 diesel automatic and the plug-in hybrid 225 E-Tense. These power trains will be available across the Pallas and Etoile trims. Both of those trims replace the outgoing Performance Line, Rivoli and Opera.
In Pallas form, the Hybrid 136 starts at £33,800, £1,350 more than the PureTech 130 engine. The package includes DS canvas seats with fabric inserts and a ‘scale effect’ interior. Wireless smartphone charging, automatic emergency traffic sign recognition and stop and go adaptive cruise control are all standard, as is the infotainment system’s new ChatGPT function with voice recognition and DS’ ‘Iris System’. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, while DS says the DS 4 will receive over-the-air updates to keep its own infotainment fresh.
Above the Pallas is Étoile trim, which directly replaces the old Rivoli at £36,600. Étoile gets an interior trimmed in Alcantara leather with electronically adjustable front seats. An extended head-up display is added along with matrix LED headlights with a scrolling indicator animation. Nappa leather is available, too, which automatically brings a heated steering wheel and heated front seats for an extra £2,400.
Pallas and Étoile are available to order now on the DS 4 with the two trim levels also arriving later in the year on the DS 3 and DS 7.
