DS Automobiles is preparing a substantial refresh for its DS 4 model, anticipated to hit the market as a 2026 vehicle.
This update is crucial for the DS 4 to maintain its position in the premium compact segment, where it competes with German stalwarts such as the Audi A3, BMW Serie 1, and Mercedes Clase A.
Spy photos have captured the first glimpse of the updated DS 4, revealing a camouflaged prototype that hints at a new design language for the brand.
The vehicle is expected to feature an expanded range of technology and will introduce a fully electric version, the DS 4 E-Tense, alongside the discontinuation of diesel powertrains.
The updated DS 4 will retain its hybrid options, including mild-hybrid (MHEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) systems.
The official unveiling is slated for mid-2025, with market availability expected in the second half of the year.
