DS Automobiles DS 4

The DS 4 is a striking compact that wears couture-inspired styling like a tailored suit, and its cabin feels more boutique hotel than ordinary hatchback with premium materials and clever detailing. On the road it mixes poise with comfort, rewarding drivers who want a refined, characterful alternative to the usual suspects — and enjoy the odd admiring glance at the lights.

details

Toyota C-HR

The Toyota C-HR wraps efficient hybrid drivetrains in dramatic, European‑tuned styling and a noticeably upmarket cabin, delivering composed ride quality and easy city manners that suit style‑minded commuters and company drivers. Accept a tighter, dim rear seat, a fiddly high‑lip boot and occasional CVT grumble plus persistent warning chimes, and you get a very economical, confident little crossover that prizes individuality over outright practicality.
