The Citroen DS4 brings an alluring mixture of premium design codes and a bold
approach to automotive styling, with an emphasis on driving pleasure and
advanced vehicle architecture. The DS4 is a model with a multitude of talents,
effortlessly responding to a broad range of owner needs, while enhancing the
appeal and vitality of the motoring experience.
The 2012 Citroen DS4
combines sophistication and refinement with a dynamic coupé-like body, creating
exceptional versatility and day-to-day practicality within a compact design.
The 2012 DS4 delivers a "new at-the-wheel" experience with unrivalled
driving sensations and outstanding agile on-road handling. With its slightly
raised stance and taut lines, the DS4 is a unique and eye-catching addition to
the segment.
Finely crafted to convey a prestigious presence both inside
and out, the 2012 Citroen DS4 offers meticulous detailing from carefully applied
chrome touches to premium cabin materials - such as the finest quality leather
seats. A large panoramic windscreen, offering enhanced occupant visibility,
illuminates the driver-focused cockpit, creating a bright and welcoming
environment.
Combining coupé style with 2+2 door practicality, the 2012
Citroen DS4 offers three full-sized rear seats, accessed by rear doors with
hidden handles that are seamlessly integrated into the body's flowing lines. The
DS4 also benefits from a capacious 370-liter boot and a host of clever storage
solutions.
DS4 comes with a choice of five refined and efficient engines
- two HDi diesels and three petrol powerplants.
All engines deliver a
combination of powerful performance - including a new to Citroen 200 hp petrol
unit - and ecologically sensitive motoring. Citroen's new e-HDi drivetrains for
example deliver improved fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
2012
Citroen DS4 is expected to go on sale later in 2011.
Unique Styling
An example of truly creative design, the 2012 Citroen DS4 boldly blends a
mix of the most desirable styling references to create an exciting new
automotive proposition. Marc Pinson, DS4's chief stylist, comments,
"Reinterpreting cues opened up new possibilities, bringing practical and
surprising solutions to automotive mobility".
Compact and muscular, the
DS signature on the bonnet is complemented by a striking LED light signature
around the front fog lights. The LEDs are illuminated both day and night. The
eye-catching profile, featuring a chrome-finished waistline surrounding dark
tinted windows, is enhanced by muscular wheel arches - that emphasize the large
wheels (up to 19") - and is crowned by a tautly drawn roofline with a spoiler
for added vitality. The lower part of the rear bumper is finished in chrome and
the horizontal detailing on the rear light clusters highlights their innovative
boomerang design.
