Luxury brand DS has opened orders for the new DS 4 hatchback, ahead of first deliveries of the BMW 1 Series and Mercedes-Benz GLA rival getting underway early next year.
Prices start from £25,350. Three derivatives are available (4, Performance Line and Cross), each with their own bespoke specification levels.
The regular 4, which the French manufacturer says is suited to those looking for a versatile premium hatchback, is offered in Bastille+, Trocadero and Rivoli specifications.
The Bastille+ model starts from £25,350 and is equipped with 17in alloy wheels, chrome wings, LED lights, a 10in infotainment screen, a 7.0in digital drivers display, rear parking sensors and a reversing camera.
The Trocadero is priced from £28,850 and gains 19in wheels, a chrome front grille and an upgraded DS Iris infotainment system, which adds voice recognition, sat-nav and gesture control.
The range-topping Rivoli, starting from £35,150, adds adaptive LED matrix headlights, 19in Sevilla alloys, black leather trim and a host of safety features, including adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
The Performance Line is available in two trim levels: Performance Line from £26,850 and Performance Line+ from £33,150.
Both feature a more athletic design, while standard models receive 19in Minneapolis wheels, a black Alcantara interior, a leather steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera. Both the front and rear light clusters are LEDs and the model is equipped with a 10in infotainment screen and a 7in digital dial display.
The 4 Cross features an SUV-inspired design, including modified side skirts, gloss-black roof bars, front and rear skidplates and black bumpers. Two trim levels are available: Cross Trocadero from £29,450 and Cross Rivoli from £35,750.

Looks pretty good overall, but they need to get the full EV version on sale and it needs to be right in terms of price, range and recharging.
That would be a winner, but until then this is just the stop-gap models.
Wow. Yeah, that's pretty sexy for a family car.
Bit fussy with way to many crease lines etc, the black lower cills make look high riding which doesn't help. oh and twin fake exhausts, really
