These are the first leaked images of the facelifted DS4, which have surfaced online ahead of the car's planned unveiling at the Frankfurt motor show later this month.
The images, which first appeared on a Czech automotive website, clearly show the updated DS4 will adopt two distinctive body styles, and will be sold both as a conventional hatchback and as a more rugged variant dubbed 'Crossback'.
Judging from these pictures, DS has worked to bring the DS4's styling more in line with the facelifted DS5, which was the first model to launch solely under the DS brand, following DS's formal split from parent brand Citroën at the Geneva motor show earlier this year.
In particular, the DS4 gets a new front grille, with a reprofiled front bumper and light clusters. The Crossback variant looks to ride higher than the hatchback, and receives psuedo-SUV styling features - suggesting DS will pitch the Crossback into the crowded but profitable crossover market.
The car's interior also features a significant restyling, and receives a new infotainment screen and redesigned centre console. Reports have suggested the DS4's infotainment system now features Apple Carplay connectivity.
It's currently unknown whether DS has chosen to update the DS4's range of powertrains, which currently consists of 1.2 and 1.6-litre petrols and 1.6 and 2.0-litre diesels.
There's no official information yet on how much the facelifted DS4 will cost in the UK, but the current car is priced from £18,695.
