New DS 4 set to rival Audi A3 & BMW 1 Series - AutoExpress
The main xenons are adaptive, following the steering to light up a corner showing where you’re going rather than where you’re not – this is another nod to the original DS, which was the first car to use adaptive headlights. Every detail on the new model is referred to as “premium” by chief designer Bernard Germain and DS 4 product manager Uberto Gavazzi. “We’ve got even more advanced technology on this car and we’ve added extreme refinement to each design detail,” said Gavazzi. So you can now buy a DS 4 with a contrasting roof colour – all fairly restrained and limited to just four options: Perla Nera Black, Whisper Purple, Virtual Blue or Tourmaline Orange. When added together with the body colours, that means a total of 38 colour combinations – although Germain is quick to point out that he thinks a Perla Nera Black roof with dark grey bodywork has the most premium look. Rather than look for a join in roof and door structure or a crease in the bodywork, the transition from one colour to another is unusually on a totally flat surface above the doors.
