IT STARTED WITH A BLANK PAGE.
WITH A FEW PENCIL LINES ON THE PAPER,
I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A BEAUTIFUL CAR.

We really wanted to give it the look of an urban
vehicle, able to tackle obstacles, but also agile.
The quarter lines are sharp and attractive.
Flowing lines around the windscreen.
An expressive front and an expressive rear.
The forms are pleasant to look and to touch.
We’ve really launched a unique vehicle. And on
top of that it goes and wins Most Beautiful Car
of the Year.

It’s not like a German car, it’s not like an Italian
car. It’s unique. Typically French. It’s like a coupé
but still you’ve got all the space necessary
for ve occupants. Very spacious.
We’ve put a lot of attention into the detail
and to the modelling to make it really feel
quite sophisticated.
A great place to be. It’s a car where you feel
very involved. Cocooned. Very protected. It’s a
cockpit. It’s a car that you really want to drive.

The aim with Citroën DS4 was to make a luxury
object. We took inspiration from leatherwork,
from haute couture, jewellery and clock making.
When you get inside, you really get a feeling of
class, a sense of style. This car is a really unique
object – you haven’t seen anything like it before.
I think every designer deserves the chance
to work on a project like Citroën DS4.

The design is very precise. Almost chiselled and
plays with the light. The light slides over it. And
in the matt parts, it’s absorbed. It’s about nding
the colour in complete harmony with the interior.
When I open the door of Citroën DS4 the
thing I’m most proud of is the renement and
luxury which is very present.
When I got out on the street I thought, ‘Yep, this
car is going to turn heads’. I think that was the
idea, you know? I can really see myself driving it.

At project inception customers told us they
wanted a different kind of car. The object has
to be rened, each detail carefully worked.
We invented new mixes for the suspension.
New approaches to springing and damping.
The road is at your ngertips. You feel like
you dominate the road. You feel like you’re
sitting high up, and protected by the
body-hugging seats.

REFINEMENT

It’s true that Citroën DS4 is different, not
something you’ve seen before. When you get
into Citroën DS4 you get the real measure of all
this renement. I’m looking at the road, and I’m
also looking into the door mirror just to see the
side of the car.
You have the power of a coupé, exceptional
body lines that make you want to take the wheel.
And at the same time, we placed the emphasis
on rear space, which is exceptional.

ABOUT ALL OF THESE GENRES AND CREATES SOMETHING GENUINELY FRESH. IT’S A STRIKING,
SOPHISTICATED 5-DOOR COUPÉ THAT HAS THE BALANCE AND FINE-TUNED ENGINEERING TO
INSPIRE KEEN DRIVERS WITH QUICK RESPONSES AND NIMBLE HANDLING. IT’S A LUXURIOUS
WAY TO TRAVEL FOR FIVE AND IT’S A CREATIVE DESIGN STATEMENT. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN YOU BEGIN WITH INNOVATION.

DEFYING DEFINITIONS. CITROËN DS4
PROVES THAT THERE’S NO CONTRADICTION
BETWEEN SPORTY AND PURPOSEFUL,
ELEGANT AND CURVACEOUS. THE ESTABLISHED
DEFINITIONS SIMPLY DON’T COUNT.
WALK AROUND THE OUTSIDE AND YOU’LL FIND SWEEPING LINES, EXCITING DETAILS AND A
PROFILE THAT IS BOTH COMPACT AND BOLD. STEP INSIDE AND YOU’LL DISCOVER A WELCOMING
COMBINATION: STYLISH SPACE, LIGHT, INTUITIVE TECHNOLOGY AND HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS.
NOW FIVE PEOPLE CAN TRAVEL COMFORTABLY IN COUPÉ STYLE, WHILE HIGH PROFILE ROAD
PRESENCE AND SLEEK EFFICIENCY GO HAND IN HAND.
HANDLE WITH FLAIR
Rear door handles are smoothly integrated into the window
surround, leaving the side prole’s organic curves uninterrupted.
REAR REVELATION
The ultra-stylish, tough body-coloured rear bumper, beautifully
formed lights, steeply raked tailgate and roof spoiler surround
a luggage area of real versatility. Compromise is not included.
ACCESS ALL AREAS
Citroën DS4 is a proper 5-door coupé. It just looks and drives
like something far more stimulating…
