For evidence : this model’s fully LED front headlamps with the three all-new LED modules designed to look like gemstones in a jewellery setting or the 136 LED lights on the front end. As with all new #ds models, these are combined with the very best #ds technology, with features like scrolling turn signals, cornering lights and moving directional headlamps. The tail lights, which also use LED, are worked in 3D with a magnificent optical effect. Refinement is also very much present in the body panel joins, commensurate with the very highest premium-segment standards in China and strengthening the quality and durability offered by our #product. Inside, this refinement is fully expressed through the leather offer, both in the choice of materials ‘quality and in the exclusive #ds finish, with a handcrafted fully leather dashboard (and door panels) that embodies the spirit of Parisian luxury craftsmanship; each one takes 8 hours to complete. The production of the watchstrap-style seat upholstery has been a #ds brand innovation and exclusive feature since the earliest days of the company. The new red tone leather enhances this refined image and the extreme attention to detail that characterise DS’s unique brand of French-style luxury. Vitality Vitality is expressed first of all in the styling, from the #ds Wings front end now characterising all #ds models to the road-hugging hatchback body and the tail pipes, more visible to underscore the sporting credentials of the car. And for the icing on the cake, for the launch the car is cloaked in a special body colour, Dark Fire red, a deep red colour, exuding vitality and athleticism. With three petrol engines delivering high constant torque and generating power of 136 hp and 204 hp, thanks to THP 1.8, all available with the EAT6 #auto gearbox and STT, the new model delivers on efficiency and highperformance. This will also be the début of the all-new EB2 Turbo engine, named “Engine of the Year 2015”, on #ds range in China. The engine boasts exceptional qualities in terms of high performance and efficiency and also reduces fuel consumption. Comfort This can be seen in the style and architecture of the car. The rear end has been entirely redesigned in order to offer rear passengers even more comfort, particularly with a record-setting amount of leg room for the compact segment. The redesign of the car’s architecture made it possible to feature a longer wheelbase and a very manageable length. Installing a rear axle with an extremely short cantilever, which also provides an advantage for the dynamics through improved weight distribution. The work done on the suspension means that the car has more head room, making it the top performer in its category. Furthermore, thorough soundproofing and insulation work carried out by the #ds and CAPSA teams made the car one of the best in the premium segment when it comes to acoustic comfort for passengers.
And let us not forget #ds Connect, as this technology offers increased comfort and peace of mind. With more 10,000 #ds Connect customers, #ds is on the top. With now 24 services (navigation, safety, entertainment, lifestyle…), this offer continues to grow.
DS 4S will go on sale in the country in the first half of 2016, joining the ranks of #ds 5 LS, #ds 6 and New #ds 5.
