N°4 E-Tense (MY25)

The DS Automobiles N°4 E-Tense (MY25) is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £35,495. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.1 seconds, slower than 58% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 217 miles (350 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 32% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 17th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.7 mi/kWh (167 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 58.3 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 80 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 231 miles (372 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £163 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £20,200–£23,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 213 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
