DS 4 E-Tense: 60 times smaller and always emissions-free

The DS 4 E-Tense officially starts at 41,400 euros, which is almost 34,800 euros net. However, it is also available much cheaper in the DS Boutique, alongside other models in the scales 1:60, 1:43, and 1:18, for whose implementation the French model professionals from Norev are usually responsible.

This is also the case with the DS 4 E-Tense, which scores with harmonious proportions and fine prints and ranks among the high-quality miniatures in the 1:60 models. Available in several series colors and, of course, equipped with two "fuel caps," Norev skillfully achieved a miniaturization of the original.

The only downside is the interior: where the original really starts to showcase its premium features, here the steering wheel is simply molded onto the dashboard and very heavily stylized.

At least Norev has moved the pin, which presses the body onto the chassis at the rear, forward under the rear window and parcel shelf: At Matchbox, they now place it in the middle of the interior, creating a (usually poorly visible) "pillar" between the roof and floor right in the middle of the interior. Therefore, a true interior experience is only provided by the larger scales or the original vehicle.

What does that mean?

Electrification is also advancing in the models: Norev has offered the DS 4 E-Tense as a plug-in hybrid from the beginning.
