Summary
The DS Nº4 is a family-sized hatchback which is now available to order in the UK with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options. There is also an all-electric ‘E-Tense’ version, which we cover here.
While a new model, the Nº4 is essentially a comprehensive facelift of the DS 4 hatchback (which is still available new), now part of the brand’s latest ‘Nº’ range, which includes the larger electric DS Nº8 coupé-SUV.
The British motoring media is yet to properly review the DS Nº4. These reviews are sure to follow in the coming weeks, alongside safety and running cost data, and we will update this page with the car’s Expert Rating score once we have them.

Warranty rating
New car warranty information for the DS Nº4
| Overall rating | D | 31% |
| Petrol or diesel models | E | 17% |
| Electric or hybrid models | C | 56% |
| New car warranty duration | 3 years |
| New car warranty mileage | 60,000 miles |
| Battery warranty duration | 8 years |
| Battery warranty mileage | 100,000 miles |
DS’s new car warranty is fairly basic, and worse than some rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Nº4.
The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles (unlimited mileage in the first two years and limited to 60K miles in the third year). In addition to the standard new car warranty, the Nº4 petrol-electric hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions come with an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.
Warranty on a used DS Nº4
- If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ DS Nº4 from an official DS dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
- If you are buying a used DS Nº4 from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
- If you are buying a used DS Nº4 from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.
If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.
