The DS No. 4 (stylized as DS N°4, pronounced as “number 4” and previously known as the DS 4) is a subcompact executive/small family car (C-segment) unveiled on 3 February 2021 by DS Automobiles. It is intended to replace the DS 4 which was discontinued in 2018. It is based on the PSA EMP2 platform of the PSA Group. The car is available in three versions: N°4 E-TENSE (100% electric), N°4 HYBRID, N°4 PLUG-IN-HYBRID.

Following the 2025 facelift it was renamed to the DS N°4.

Overview

It was designed in Paris, but is produced at Opel’s plant in Rüsselsheim.

In terms of powertrains, a E-TENSE hybrid version will be available, and in terms of petrol engines, it is equipped with the PureTech range with powers outputs of 130 hp (97 kW; 132 PS), 180 hp (134 kW; 182 PS), or 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS). It is available for sale from the fourth quarter of 2021.

2022 refresh

In October 2022, the trim structure was revised, which now includes a new Opera flagship and increased EV range for the E-Tense PHEV version.

Esprit de Voyage

Introduced in March 2023, the “Esprit de Voyage” special edition, French for “spirit of travel”, is the flagship trim level for the DS 4 and DS 7 and features new materials and colour combinations inspired by the fashion industry.

2025 refresh

The 2025 refresh for the DS 4 was announced on May 14, 2025. It features new body styling as well as a new front end inspired by the DS N°8. The model was also renamed to the DS N°4. Some changes were also made to the interior.

Most powertrain options are carried over from the original DS 4 with the exception of the diesel engine, which was discontinued.
