DS 4 2021– car dimensions: 4400 mm long, 1866 mm wide and 1490 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,414 kg. Braked towing is 1,500 kg.
Pallas brings a 10-inch HD touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay plus a 10.25-inch digital cluster. Dual-zone automatic climate control keeps the cabin steady. Adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, camera-and-radar emergency braking, lane-departure alert, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are all standard. Blind-spot monitoring arrives only on higher trims or packs. Daily drives feel calm and connected without hunting for options.
Boot holds 430 litres with seats up on most versions and expands to 1240 litres when the 2/3-1/3 rear bench folds. PHEV variants lose a little space to the battery. Loading is straightforward for weekend bags or shopping runs.
Braked towing reaches 1500 kg on the diesel and around 1300-1400 kg on hybrids, with unbraked figures near 750 kg. Payload sits between 536 and 586 kg depending on powertrain. A tool-free detachable tow bar is optional. The car suits light trailer or bike-rack duties but is not built for heavy commercial work.
The cabin uses high-density fabric seats with stitching, basalt black scale-effect trim and bronze inserts for a refined feel. Dual-zone automatic climate control and front acoustic laminated side windows keep noise low. Ambient LED lighting and a clean vertical dashboard create a cocoon-like space with good front support. Power driver seat and heated fronts come via Comfort pack. Rear space is typical for the class with a central armrest.

The plug-in hybrid offers up to 81 km electric range while the pure electric E-TENSE claims 450 km. Diesel BlueHDi remains available with similar efficiency. Real-world figures stay close when driven gently.

Attention monitoring and higher Drive Assist 2.0 packs add lane change and fatigue checks. Crash rating sits at four stars base, rising with the extra pack.
Living with the car means quiet front glazing, bi-zone climate and solid build. Keep the high-density seats clean and use the connected services for remote checks. Options like the electric sunroof or motorised tailgate add convenience without complexity.
