DS 4 2015–2018 car dimensions: 4284 mm long, 1810 mm wide and 1502 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,330 kg. Braked towing is 1,550 kg.
The cabin feels premium with soft materials up high and a panoramic windscreen that lets in lots of light. A 7-inch touchscreen comes as standard with sat-nav, DAB and Apple CarPlay for phone integration. MirrorLink covers Android phones instead. Dual-zone climate control and cruise control with speed limiter are fitted across the range. Rear parking sensors are common, while front sensors, a reversing camera and blind-spot monitoring appear on higher Prestige grades. Lane departure warning is available but there is no lane-keep assist or automatic emergency braking.
Boot space measures 385 litres with the rear seats up, which is competitive for the class and useful for weekly shopping. Fold the 60/40 split rear bench and capacity rises to 1021 litres, though a high load lip makes heavy items awkward to lift in and the floor does not sit fully flat.
Braked towing capacity reaches up to 1550 kg depending on engine and gearbox, with unbraked figures around 650-750 kg and a recommended nose weight of 75 kg. Payload sits near 465 kg on typical models. The car is not set up as a workhorse. no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is listed, so everyday family or light leisure towing is the realistic limit.
The cabin feels refined and airy thanks to the standard panoramic windscreen with individual sliding blinds that open up the view. Higher grades add leather upholstery with watch-strap detailing, heated front sports seats, and electric lumbar adjustment with massage function. Dual-zone automatic air conditioning is available, along with quality materials and soft lighting for a premium everyday feel.
