The Goddess has Gone Chic

The Goddess has Gone Chic

The new DS 4 Crossback is a car that is different. Boldly-chiselled lines makes the Crossback stand out in a sea of ordinary looking ones.

In essence, the Crossback begs the question on how to make a car once termed as “Most Beautiful Car of the Year” even more beautiful.
What we like:
pros
Loads of torque on tap
pros
Well designed exterior
What we dislike:
cons
Rear windows do not roll down
cons
delayed controls for air-conditioning
cons
seat warmers

Based on the DS4, the Crossback adds to the design formula, wheel arch trims, and an additional 30mm to the ride height; all this to portray a more off-road inspired look. The body is beautifully sculpted with fluidly-styled sheet metal and available in 6 colours. Our car came in what DS calls Tourmaline Orange, which works beautifully with the styling. Additional utility comes in the form of roof rails which complement the chrome accents. There is just a slight hint of Porsche Cayenne in the rear, but the look is wholly DS’s own.

A new front grille carries a chrome surround, encasing the new DS emblem, flanked by a new set of LED headlamps. The rear door may be an issue. Though beautifully styled, some may find that the angular edge housing the hidden door handle might pose a danger to hitting someone’s face, or contact the pillars of multi-story carparks upon entry or exit.

In essence, the Crossback begs the question on how to make a car once termed as “Most Beautiful Car of the Year” even more beautiful.
