Gowan Distributors, DS Automobiles Importer in Ireland, has officially launched the all-new DS 4 model at the newly opened DS Store in Dublin.

While DS 4 is the latest model in the DS Automobiles line up, it’s already an award winner, having nabbed the title of The Most Beautiful Car of 2022 in the 37th Festival Automobile earlier this year.
 

Based on the EMP2 platform, the plug-in hybrid version, DS 4 E-TENSE 225 inherits expertise from DS Performance with its four Formula E championship titles. High performing and efficient, this power unit relies on a 4-cylinder 180 horsepower 1.6L PureTech engine and a 110-horsepower electric motor with a 12.4kWh battery which has a zero emissions range of up to 55km (on the WLTP combined cycle). The 360Nm of torque enables 100km/h to be reached in 7.7 seconds and the 1000 metres Start-Stop to be covered in 27.3 seconds with fuel consumption of just 1.3 litre/100km and emissions from 29g/km of CO2 on the WLTP combined cycle.
 

A 1.2L PureTech 130 Automatic petrol engine, plus a 1.5L BlueHDi 130 Automatic Diesel are on offer with consumption from 4.8 litres/100km for Diesel and 5.9 litres/100km for petrol on the WLTP combined cycle and CO2 emissions of 125g/km for diesel and 135g/km for petrol.
 

DS 4 is made of 95% reusable materials and 85% recyclable parts. 30% of its weight is from renewable or recycled materials, divided between metals and polymers. The dashboard in particular is made of 20% hemp for parts that can’t be seen. Among the recycled materials, polypropylene, polyester and elastomer fibres are used under the chassis as baffles, for noise reduction or as mounting points.
 

Irish prices for DS 4 start at €37,295 (on the road price, including delivery charges, excluding metallic paint) and offers customers five grades to choose from: Bastille +, Performance Line, Trocadero, Performance Line+ and top of the range Rivoli spec.
