en.Wedoany.com Reported - DS Automobiles (Stellantis Japan) launched the C-segment two-box hatchback "N°4 ETOILE HYBRID" on May 13, priced at 6.25 million yen. A limited run of 26 "Launch Edition" units will be released simultaneously, featuring an additional sliding glass sunroof, with 13 units in Crystal Pearl and 13 in Cashmere, both priced at 6.44 million yen.

The N°4 is the representative model of DS Automobiles' new naming philosophy "N°," which means "number" in French, symbolizing the brand's expression of essential beauty, order, and character. The new car features an avant-garde design, with the front face creating a strong presence through a unique light signature: light converges from both ends of the bumper towards the center, merging with the DS emblem to form a full-width effect that highlights its personality both day and night. The rear is equipped with slim LED taillights in black and smoked chrome tones, with a diamond scale pattern presenting a deep interplay of light and shadow. Sequential turn signals composed of 40 LEDs produce a flowing light trail. The wheels are new 19-inch "LIMA" alloy wheels, finished in a black onyx texture, with a diamond-cut design that balances aerodynamics and low rolling resistance.

The body is available in four colors: Novara Black Pearl, Crystal Pearl, the new soft grey textured shade "Cashmere," and the new slightly bluish white shade "Albatre White." The interior features Alcantara material, with door panel trim and air vent surrounds adorned with the "Clous de Paris" pattern inspired by traditional Parisian decoration. The front seats are made of high-density foam material to enhance long-distance comfort. The instrument panel is a 10.25-inch digital screen, linked with the head-up display to show navigation, audio, and other information, supporting customizable layouts.

In terms of powertrain, it is equipped with a 48V hybrid powertrain and a 6-speed DCT gearbox with an integrated electric motor. The motor provides assistance during start-up and acceleration, and pure electric driving is possible under urban conditions. WLTC mode fuel consumption is 20.1km/L, balancing power and energy efficiency.
