A more powerful diesel engine gives the DS4 sporting appeal, but can the rest of the car match up?
We already know the combination of an automatic gearbox and a torquey diesel engine fit well in the DS4. This latest Dsport version mates a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel unit to the same six-speed automatic torque-converter ‘box we praised in the Dstyle version. The DS4 is less of a style statement than its smaller DS3 sibling, but calling the design bland would be wrong. It still appeals, and we like the slightly bulbous front-end styling, even if the car looks slightly too much like a standard C4 from some angles.
