DS Automobiles N°4

What is the DS N°4?

The DS N°4 is a compact car from French marque DS Automobiles. It pairs distinctive styling and a carefully finished cabin with a choice of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric powertrains, giving it a place in the brand’s compact-car range.

The first generation began in 2025. Its low, sculpted profile gives the N°4 a distinctive look in a class where many cars have a familiar hatchback shape.

Engines and power

In the EU, the 2025 range spans 1.2-litre to 1.6-litre engines and outputs from 100 kW (136 PS) to 157 kW (213 PS). It includes hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric versions. UK figures for 2026 list the same fuel types, with outputs from 107 kW (145 PS) to 157 kW (213 PS) and engines from 1.2 litres to 1.6 litres.

The hybrid combines a petrol engine with electric assistance. The plug-in hybrid can use electricity from its rechargeable battery, while the E-TENSE runs on electricity alone.

How economical is the DS N°4?

The lowest reported EU consumption for petrol, diesel or hybrid versions is 5.2 L/100 km on the WLTP test. The plug-in hybrid’s lowest official weighted figure is 2.9 L/100 km WLTP, a calculation that assumes some driving is electric. Actual fuel use depends in part on charging and journey patterns.

For UK versions, the lowest reported figure for petrol, diesel or hybrid models is 4.8 L/100 km WLTP. Test procedures vary by market: Europe uses WLTP or, for some older figures, NEDC; the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a five-cycle test.

Where is the DS N°4 sold?

The N°4 appears in EU registration figures for 2025 and UK certification figures for 2026. In the EU, 1,936 cars were registered in 2025. The 1.2-litre hybrid led the listed versions with 1,233 registrations, followed by the electric version with 446 and the 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid with 247.
