Warranty rating

New car warranty information for the DS Nº4 E-Tense

Overall ratingC56%
New car warranty duration3 years
New car warranty mileage60,000 miles
Battery warranty duration8 years
Battery warranty mileage100,000 miles

DS’s new car warranty is fairly basic, and worse than some rival brands in a similar price bracket as the Nº4 E-Tense.

The duration is three years, with a limit of 60,000 miles (unlimited mileage in the first two years and limited to 60K miles in the third year). In addition to the standard new car warranty, the all-electric Nº4 E-Tense versions come with an eight-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery components.

Warranty on a used DS Nº4

  • If you are buying an ‘Approved Used’ DS Nº4 E-Tense from an official DS dealership, you will get a minimum one-year warranty included.
  • If you are buying a used DS Nº4 E-Tense from an independent dealership, any warranty offered will vary and will probably be managed by a third-party warranty company.
  • If you are buying a used DS Nº4 E-Tense from a private seller, there are no warranty protections beyond any remaining portion of the original new car warranty.

If you’re looking to buy a used car that is approaching the end of its warranty period, a used car warranty is usually a worthwhile investment. Check out The Car Expert’s guide to the best used car warranty providers, which will probably be cheaper than a warranty sold by a dealer.

Recalls

Official DVSA safety recalls that have been issued for the DS Nº4

As of August 2025, we are not aware of any DVSA vehicle safety recalls affecting the DS Nº4 E-Tense. However, this information is updated very regularly so this may have changed.

You can check to see if your car has any outstanding recalls by visiting the DVLA website or contacting your local DS dealer.
