New 2021 DS 4 Crossback SUV spied in the snow

DS will extend its SUV supplying with an all-new crossover that will slot in among the newborn DS three Crossback and flagship DS 7 Crossback, and to show it we’ve already caught the newcomer on camera for the incredibly 1st time. 

Established to be introduced to the United kingdom marketplace in 2021, this new crossover is larger sized in measurement than the DS three Crossback and will be a far more all-natural rival for posh SUVs like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes GLA and the Volvo XC40.

DS has marketed a car of this measurement right before, in the kind of the DS 4. As these types of, this new addition could effectively choose on the identify DS 4 Crossback.

Seeking far more like a jacked-up hatch than a entirely-fledged SUV, the DS 4 Crossback is set to main in fashion – not that you can explain to from the closely camouflaged mule that we caught going through testing of its ESP balance control technique with DS’ technical spouse Bosch. Seem intently though and, inspite of the thorough wrap, you can location the DS brand’s trademark authentic matrix LED lamps tail lamps. 

Identical in measurement to its German and Swedish possibilities, the DS 4 Crossback is set to be dependent on the PSA Group’s EMP2 system – the exact system the larger DS 7 sits on.

Considering the fact that it has a great deal in prevalent with the flagship DS 7, we assume the DS 4 Crossback to share most of the larger SUV’s motor line-up, together with its sophisticated E-Tense plug-in hybrid powertrain.

That usually means, on the petrol aspect, the motor range will kick off with a compact one.two-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder and extend to involve a larger sized one.six-litre four-cylinder turbo that could make close to 220bhp.

Combining equally ability and performance, the DS 4 Crossback is also set to arrive with a impressive plug-in hybrid powertrain that is probably to mirror the DS 7 set-up, combining a one.six-litre turbo with two electrical motors and a lithium-ion battery, delivering for all-wheel generate and 296bhp.

An electrical model, meanwhile, has been ruled out for now as the EMP2 system isn’t prepared for full battery-ability. That’s stated, an evolution of the EMP2 with full EV compatibility is in the pipeline, and is anticipated to debut underneath a new flagship Citroen saloon next calendar year.

Hotly tipped to get there later on this calendar year, probably at the Paris Motor Present, the DS 4 Crossback is anticipated to be on sale in the United kingdom in early 2021.
