There are fewer changes inside, which means the same avant garde architecture, extensive use of rich materials and slightly cramped rear accommodation.
Still, the fit and finish is good, and we liked the patch of leather affixed to the centre console where you rest your knee. There’s also the distinctive ‘watchstrap’ leather trim option for the seats, which do lift the cabin beyond that of some sober-suited rivals.
You also now get a 10.25in digital instrument cluster (up from 7.0in) and a 10.0in central touchscreen. Both are graphically strong, but while the infotainment software is well configured, it can be sluggish.
And while we often praise cars for having physical switchgear, the row of buttons below the touchscreen are poor, as they offer limited functionality. None of them can be used to adjust the temperature, fan speed or turn on the heated seats, meaning you need to delve into the screen’s sub-menus to complete even the simplest tasks. Sigh.
And while DS likes to boast about the No4’s generous proportions, rear accommodation isn’t great by class standards. Even average height occupants will feel a little hemmed in, with just about adequate head or leg room, while taller passengers will need to slouch to avoid their head making contact with the roofline.
You do, however, get 430 litres of boot space, which is a fair bit more than in the Cupra Born. There’s also some space under the boot floor for storing charging cables.
