About the DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225

The 2021 DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 is a front-drive turbocharged car of 1,420 kg with 223 bhp, which works out at 157 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 2.47 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,929th quickest to 60 mph, and the 4th quickest of the 33 DS Automobiless here. Its 91.8 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 0-60 time?

The DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 reaches 60 mph in 7.14 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,929th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.

What is the DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 quarter mile time?

15.47 s at 91.8 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.05 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.47 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

How much power does the DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 have?

223 bhp and 1,420 kg, which is 157 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, turbocharged, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 235 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

What cars are comparable to the DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225?

Closest here on pace: Opel Astra 5dr 1.6 200 (7.08 s), Lotus Excel SE (7.05 s), Audi A1 Sportback 1.4 TFSI 150 (7.16 s). Each one can be raced against the DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.

Are these real measured times?

No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The DS Automobiles DS 4 1.6 PureTech 225 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
