"The DS 4 Crossback is a nice SUV gasoline engine, but despite a tempting price, poor objectivity hand counts."
Pretty much every carmaker now an SUV of some sort or other offers - and DS, upscale brand Citroen, is no exception. So step forward DS 4 Crossback - a rugged looking version of the DS 4 hatchback
First impressions are good .. It's a nice car, the chunky styling features an intelligent interior and an increased ride height. But that does not mean it can handle rough terrain -. The two-wheel drive only for Crossback is more crossing speed limits as mud ruts
But that means at home, there is no impact on fuel consumption or road tax if you choose a cross over a standard DS 4, and it is not so much more expensive to buy either. DS is said to be sold in four DS 4 models Cross Backs.
The engine range comprises a 1.2-liter gasoline, available with a six-speed manual transmission, a 2.0-liter diesel with a six-speed automatic transmission. and a 1.6-liter diesel with the choice of either gear
Our top choice is the 1.6-liter diesel - badged BlueHDi - with a manual transmission. As for trim levels, the choice is even easier, since there is only one. The Crossback comes with this rugged styling, 18-inch alloy wheels as standard in addition to the LED and xenon headlamps, part-leather upholstery, rear view camera and navigation, which 4s DS are less equipped.

Most buyers will be the 1.6-liter diesel attracted because of its CO2 emissions of 100 g / km (102g / km, if you choose the automatic version) and fuel consumption officially rated at 74.3mpg ( 68.9mpg for the auto). That makes versions with the 1.6-liter engine the cheapest to control, with a £ 20 annual accounts. The automatic-only 2.0-liter diesel, which emits 115 g / km CO2, can manage only 64.2mpg.
The biggest DS 4 Cross costs are recognized when you come to sell. It is expected to hold after three years or 36,000 miles around 45% of its value.
motors, drive & Performance
More comfortable than the standard DS 4
DS 4 Cross a little larger than the standard DS 4, thanks to its elevated suspension. It is more comfortable, with a softer ride, although it still throbs over potholes that the (admittedly more expensive) Mercedes GLA must avoid.
, the whirling gives also a commanding view of the road to give the impression that you drive something much bigger. This is a double-edged sword, of course.
The engine choice is more limited than for Cross models further down the range. But you can from a surprisingly perky 1.2-liter petrol engine still choose and 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter diesel. None of them are particularly fast, but rather fits the relaxed nature of the Cross. The 1.2-liter gasoline engine takes 9.9 seconds from 0-62mph speed - a second faster than the 1.6-liter diesel and 1.5 seconds quicker than the 1.6-liter automatic. The 2.0-liter is the fastest in the field, with a 8.6-second 0-62mph time.
The 1.6-liter, the mainstay of the region, however. Out on the street, it is boldly enough to make with sufficient power through the gears easy overtaking. Moreover, as long as you do not thresh it, it's pretty quiet. We have yet to try the automatic version.
The 1.2-liter engine is the surprise of the region. As with other DS and Citroen models, it is quiet, smooth and more than capable of a long car ride. The top model 2.0-liter diesel has more oomph than the 1.6-liter diesel, but in a car like this, you have to wonder if you really need it.
Interior & Comfort
inside feels upmarket and driving is more convenient than other DS 4 models
the DS 4 Cross has a classy-looking interior, so it is not a shame, it feels at. There are more tactility in a Volkswagen Golf Alltrack or Volvo V40 Cross Country -. Although in fairness, they are both more expensive than the Crossback
Although the cross interior is all-but-identical to the DS 4's, its suspension is slightly soft, which is a certain way is towards our concern about the standard auto addressing. What it does not cure bad about-the-shoulder view, although the panoramic windscreen, which sweeps driver and front passenger is a nice touch.
Compared to the models of DS 'parent company Citroen, the Cross interior looks a little cluttered with many buttons on the steering wheel and small climate control keys. some are pleased, however, to see that not all functions are only accessible via the touch screen, as they are on a growing number of Citroens.
practicality & trunk
Big boat, but not a lot of space in the rear seats
If you are 4 Cross sitting in the front seats of a DS, you will be well served. The panoramic windscreen allows plenty of light in and there is a decent amount of storage space within reach of the driver. But as is often the possibility of French cars, the glove box is tiny - a result of the positioning of the fuse box next to the steering wheel in the left hand drive models
ascend very in the back and things. different. Once you have realized the handles in the rear windscreen pillars are hidden, look at the rear doors at the base are very narrow, which means you flop instead chute in the rear seats. And because of the shape of the doors, the rear windows do not roll down, but jump out. For some, this is just a quirky feature, but for others it is a big frustration.
The Cross trump trunk is. With 385 liters, it is slightly larger than the trunk of a Volkswagen Golf, although it does not compete with its sister car, the Citroen C4, which offers 408 liters of space. Delete the split-folding rear seats and there are 1,021 liters of space.
reliability and safety
Very sure, but so-so reliability
The DS 4 is a mixed bag in this regard. On the one hand it is very safe and carries a full five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, but on the other hand, our driver power rating of customer satisfaction for the car is - maybe -. Very bad
We say that because during the DS 4 itself in the Driver Power survey, his sister car of Citroen C4 has not presented. And in the issue in 2016, it ended in the 139th place of 150 cars looked. It fares slightly better than in the overall ranking, when it comes to reliability, where it claimed 124th place. But it's hard to draw positives from his 141-room for quality construction.
The security credentials of the Cross are much better. Support its five-star Euro NCAP rating is a 0% score for adult occupant protection and 97% for the safety support technology. Highlights here are a rearview camera, six airbags, electronic stability control, ISOFIX child seat mountings and an emergency assistance system DS Connect Box called you to connect to the emergency services, should the worst happen.
price, price-performance ratio and options
well equipped, but top-spec models are expensive
DS 4 area is also equipped standard, and how the DS 4 Crossback is the top of -the -range model, the owners will want for very little. It comes with all bits on less DS 4 models, including automatic headlights, power-operated heated door mirrors, a panoramic windshield, dual-zone climate control and a seven-inch color touch screen, see with Navi, Mirror Link and apple-carplay.
The Cross Sport also participate ~~ POS = TRUNC and reversing camera, see also find trim on the DS 4 Prestige. The main difference is the increased ground clearance and rugged appearance. If you want, SUV looks, the £ 1,000 premium over the Prestige trim is a small price to pay.
This is more true at the lower end of the cross section. With a starting price of £ 22,000, it's a good value, but with top-spec models cost around £ 27,000, you can have a Volvo V40 Cross Country better off pulling recital or even a MINI Countryman.
