New DS4

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] DS Automobiles announced on the 11th that it will launch the new hatchback DS4 in the domestic market.

In Korea, it is mainly classified as a C-segment vehicle, commonly known as a compact car, and is a completely redesigned model with an exterior resembling a hatchback or coupe-style sports utility vehicle (SUV). The hood is extended longer relative to the body, and the roofline is styled in a fastback design, giving a dynamic impression. The rear lamps are diamond-shaped, symbolizing the brand, and the turn signals light up sequentially.

The interior is finished using the "Gioielli" technique. This is an engraved surface decoration used by watchmakers, applied around the window switches, central control system on the dashboard, and the center console area, providing a luxurious feel. Another design feature is that the air conditioning vents are not exposed externally. The new 3rd generation EMP2 platform is applied to provide ample interior space. Folding the rear seats expands the cargo space up to 1240 liters.
