2015 Citroen DS4 Gets New Engines, Including a 180 HP 2-Liter Diesel

We've never been fans of Citroen's DS4 "premium car", especially since the car doesn't look all that different to a regular C4 and it comes with a couple of major build flaws. However, the French didn't give up on their quirky crossover-hatch and just announced three new engines will be made available.

The first of them is actually a powertrain package called THP 165 S&S EAT6 and it combines a familiar 1.6-liter turbo with the six-speed automatic gearbox developed by Aisin for the 308. Nothing major here, but that's because the DS4 also received a PureTech 130 S&S three-cylinder petrol last year.

Next up are the diesels, which are far more important. The first one is called BlueHDi S&S 150 and is essentially a 2-liter turbodiesel with stop-start tech and a 6-speed manual gearbox. At 150 hp, it has the exact same output as the Audi Q3 and VW Tigua or Golf. But, with 370 Nm (273 lb-ft) of torque, it's 20 to 70 Nm gutsier than all its rivals, Peugeot claims.

Finally, there's a new flagship model fitted with the same BlueHDi S&S 180 EAT6 powertrain as the Peugeot 308 GT warm hatch. It produces 180 PS of diesel pushing power and a meaty 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque.

Citroen says this new engine, which we recently tested in the Peugeot 508 facelift, sets new standards with an average consumption figure of 5.5 l/100km.

Without actually sharing any photos, Citroen says the cabin of the DS4 has also been improved in terms of style and ergonomics. Also new is a high-resolution 7-inch touch tablet simplifies use of the satnav system and other functionalities.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
