DS has launched the complete DS 4 hatchback line-up in the UK. until recently, buyers were only able to buy the £39,950 La Premiere launch edition version of the new automobile – but now there’s a full complement of trims on offer, with prices starting from £25,350.
Brace yourselves, though, as the new DS 4 line-up is rather complicated. There’s a choice of three main specifications to choose from, called DS 4, performance Line and Cross. However, the base-model and cross variants can also be specified in different equipment lines, called Bastille+, Trocadero and Rivoli.

The least expensive DS 4 Bastille+ commands that headline price and comes fitted as conventional with 17-inch alloy wheels, chrome exterior trim and gloss black door mirrors. There’s also LED headlights, rear vehicle parking sensors and a 180-degree reversing camera, while inside buyers get cloth upholstery, a seven-inch digital gauge cluster and a 10-inch infotainment system.

Stepping up a rung, the DS 4 Trocadero gets 19-inch alloys, a model-specific chrome radiator grille and some dedicated cloth seats. There’s also some extra tech, with connected navigation and natural voice recognition coming as standard. prices start from £28,850.
DS’s Rivoli specification bumps the 4’s price-tag up to £35,150, but that increase is mostly because it isn’t used with the company’s entry-level 128bhp petrol engine. Extras include a special set of 19-inch alloy wheels, Matrix LED headlights, black leather upholstery and a level 2 semi-autonomous driving mode with adaptive cruise control.
