Engine position is Front, transverse on 1.6 MT 120 hp, 1.6 AT 150 hp, 2.0 AT 160 hp, 1.6 MT 200 hp, and 1.6 ESG 115 hp. It is not measured on 1.6 MT 92 hp, 1.6 MT 115 hp, 2.0 MT 160 hp, and 1.6 AT 163 hp. Feed is Distributed injection (multi-point) on 1.6 MT 120 hp and Direct injection (direct) on 1.6 AT 150 hp, 1.6 MT 200 hp, and 1.6 AT 163 hp; not measured on the four remaining diesels plus 2.0 AT. Valves per cylinder are 4 on eight versions and 2 on 1.6 ESG. Compression is 17.6 on 1.6 MT 92 hp, 11 on 1.6 AT 163 hp, and not measured elsewhere. Bore × stroke is 75 × 88.3 mm on the three 1560 cm³ diesels, 85 × 88 mm on 2.0 MT, 77 × 85.8 mm on 1.6 AT 163 hp, and not measured on the rest.
Horsepower, engine size, and kg per hp
Specific output (hp per litre of displacement):
- 1.6 MT 200 hp: 200 / 1.598 ≈ 125.2 hp/L — the densest engine in the set.
- 1.6 AT 163 hp: ≈ 102.0 hp/L.
- 1.6 AT 150 hp: ≈ 93.9 hp/L.
- 2.0 AT and 2.0 MT (both 160 hp / 1.997 L): ≈ 80.1 hp/L.
- 1.6 MT 120 hp: ≈ 75.1 hp/L.
- 1.6 MT 115 hp and 1.6 ESG: ≈ 73.7 hp/L.
- 1.6 MT 92 hp: ≈ 59.0 hp/L — the least power per litre.
Kerb weight per horsepower:
- 1.6 MT 200 hp: 1391 / 200 ≈ 7.0 kg/hp (lightest per hp).
- 2.0 AT: 1320 / 160 ≈ 8.3 kg/hp.

- 1.6 MT 120 hp: 1280 / 120 ≈ 10.7 kg/hp.
- 1.6 ESG: 1300 / 115 ≈ 11.3 kg/hp.
- 1.6 MT 115 hp: 1365 / 115 ≈ 11.9 kg/hp.
- 1.6 MT 92 hp: 1351 / 92 ≈ 14.7 kg/hp (heaviest per hp).
The 200 hp 1.6 MT is 80 hp above the 120 hp 1.6 MT on the same 1598 cm³ Gasoline family, and 108 hp above the 92 hp diesel 1.6 MT. That is the whole performance spread of the model.
Performance: 0–100, top speed, and what the extra power buys
| Version | 0–100, s | Top speed, km/h |
|---|---|---|
| 1.6 MT 200 hp | 7.9 | 235 |
| 1.6 AT 163 hp | 8.6 | 212 |
| 1.6 AT 150 hp | 9.0 | 212 |
| 2.0 AT 160 hp | 9.3 | 192 |
| 2.0 MT 160 hp | 9.3 | 212 |
| 1.6 MT 120 hp | 10.8 | 193 |
| 1.6 ESG 115 hp | 11.3 | 190 |
| 1.6 MT 115 hp | 12.4 | 190 |
| 1.6 MT 92 hp | 14.3 | 180 |
Arithmetic that matters when choosing:
- 1.6 MT 200 hp vs 1.6 MT 120 hp: 2.9 s quicker to 100 km/h and 42 km/h more top speed (235 vs 193). Mixed consumption is only 0.2 L/100 km apart (6.4 vs 6.2). If the goal is pace, the 200 hp row is the one that actually moves the numbers.
- 1.6 AT 163 hp vs 1.6 AT 150 hp: 0.4 s quicker (8.6 vs 9.0), same 212 km/h, same 10.6 / 6.0 / 7.7 L/100 km. The 163 hp car is 32 kg heavier (1391 vs 1359) and sits 23 mm lower (172 vs 195 mm). Extra horsepower here does not buy extra top speed or extra economy; it buys a slightly shorter 0–100 and a lower ride.
- 2.0 AT vs 2.0 MT (both 160 hp, 340 Nm): identical 9.3 s. The Manual 2.0 MT is 20 km/h faster at the top (212 vs 192) and uses 0.6 L/100 km less mixed (5.1 vs 5.7). The Automatic is 75 kg lighter at the kerb (1320 vs 1395) and has 195 mm clearance vs 172 mm. Same engine size and torque; the gearbox choice is a speed-vs-clearance-vs-consumption trade, not a power trade.
- 1.6 ESG vs 1.6 MT 115 hp: same 115 hp and 270 Nm. Robotic 6-speed vs Manual 6-speed. 0–100 is 1.1 s quicker on ESG (11.3 vs 12.4). Mixed consumption is the same 4.4 L/100 km; city is 1.1 L lower on ESG (4.8 vs 5.9). ESG kerb mass is 65 kg lower (1300 vs 1365). Rear suspension on ESG is Independent, spring; on the 115 hp Manual it is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem.
The 92 hp 1.6 MT is 6.4 s slower to 100 than the 200 hp 1.6 MT and 55 km/h slower at the top. It is the endurance / low-output end of the range, not a near-miss of the 115 hp diesel.

Diesel mixed figures cluster at 4.4–5.7 L/100 km. Gasoline mixed figures cluster at 6.2–7.7. The two Automatic Gasoline 1.6s are tied at 7.7 mixed — 1.5 L/100 km above the 120 hp Manual Gasoline and 3.3 L above 1.6 ESG. Highway diesel bottoms out at 3.9 on the 92 hp 1.6 MT; highway Gasoline bottoms out at 5.0 on the 120 hp 1.6 MT.
1.6 ESG is the only version with a measured 114 g/km CO2. The next measured Gasoline/Diesel pair at 144–149 is 1.6 MT 120 hp (144), 2.0 AT (149), and 1.6 MT 200 hp (149). 1.6 AT 150 hp is the highest measured CO2 at 178 — 64 g/km above ESG.
There is no plug-in hybrid in this dataset. Searches for an automatic PHEV do not match any of the nine rows.
Dimensions, kerb weight, ground clearance, wheels
Body for the generation: Hatchback 5-door. Tank: 60 L on every version.
| Version | Kerb, kg | Gross, kg | Clearance, mm | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.6 MT 120 hp | 1280 | 1755 | 195 | 215/60 R16, 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18 |
| 1.6 ESG 115 hp | 1300 | 1815 | not measured | 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18 |
| 2.0 AT 160 hp | 1320 | 1940 | 195 | 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18 |
| 1.6 MT 92 hp | 1351 | not measured | 172 | not measured |
| 1.6 AT 150 hp | 1359 | 1795 | 195 | 215/55 R17, 225/45 R18 |
| 1.6 MT 115 hp | 1365 | 1805 | 172 | not measured |
| 1.6 MT 200 hp | 1391 | 1820 | 195 | not measured |
| 1.6 AT 163 hp | 1391 | 1820 | 172 | not measured |
| 2.0 MT 160 hp | 1395 | 1880 | 172 | not measured |
Kerb range is 1280–1395 kg (115 kg). Gross, where measured, is 1755–1940 kg. 2.0 AT has the highest gross (1940) — 185 kg above the 120 hp 1.6 MT (1755) — so payload headroom is largest on the Automatic diesel even though that car is not the heaviest at the kerb.
Clearance splits the range into two measured groups: 195 mm (1.6 MT 120 hp, 1.6 AT 150 hp, 2.0 AT, 1.6 MT 200 hp) and 172 mm (1.6 MT 92 hp, 1.6 MT 115 hp, 2.0 MT, 1.6 AT 163 hp). Difference: 23 mm. ESG clearance is not measured.
Front brakes are Ventilated disc on all nine. Rear brakes: Disc on 1.6 MT 120 hp, 1.6 AT 150 hp, 2.0 AT, 1.6 MT 200 hp, 1.6 ESG; Disc ventilated on 1.6 MT 92 hp, 1.6 MT 115 hp, 2.0 MT, 1.6 AT 163 hp.
Front suspension is Independent, spring on all nine. Rear is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem on eight versions and Independent, spring only on 1.6 ESG.
Length/width/height are not measured in this dataset, so Citroen DS4 dimensions beyond weight, clearance, tank, and tyres are not measured here.
Which version to choose
There is only one generation, so there is no “later generation changed X.” The choice is among nine concurrent Hatchback 5-door FWD rows.
If 0–100 and top speed are the filter: 1.6 MT 200 hp. 7.9 s, 235 km/h, 275 Nm from 1700 rpm, Turbo Gasoline, Direct injection (direct), 6-speed Manual. Mixed 6.4 L/100 km is 0.2 above the slowest Gasoline Manual. Wheels not measured; clearance 195 mm.
If mixed consumption and CO2 are the filter: 1.6 ESG 115 hp. Mixed 4.4 L/100 km (tied with 92 hp 1.6 MT), city 4.8 (lowest in the table), CO2 114 (lowest measured). Robotic 6-speed, 1300 kg. 0–100 is 11.3 s — 3.4 s slower than the 200 hp car, 3.0 s faster than the 92 hp diesel. Rear axle is the only Independent, spring rear in the set.
If you want diesel torque without the slowest 0–100: 2.0 MT 160 hp or 2.0 AT 160 hp. Both 340 Nm @ 2000 and 9.3 s. Pick 2.0 MT for 212 km/h and 5.1 mixed; pick 2.0 AT for 195 mm clearance, 1320 kg kerb, and 1940 kg gross. 2.0 AT eco class is not measured; 2.0 MT CO2 is not measured.
If you want a Gasoline Automatic: 1.6 AT 150 hp vs 1.6 AT 163 hp. Same 240 Nm @ 1400, same 6-speed Automatic, same 10.6 / 6.0 / 7.7, same 212 km/h. The 163 hp car is 0.4 s quicker and 32 kg heavier, with 172 mm clearance and Disc ventilated rears; the 150 hp car has 195 mm clearance, measured CO2 178, and listed 17/18-inch wheels. Extra 13 hp does not change consumption.
If you want the lightest kerb and the only 16-inch tyre listing: 1.6 MT 120 hp. 1280 kg, 1755 kg gross, 195 mm, No boost, multi-point Gasoline, 10.8 s, 193 km/h, mixed 6.2. It is 80 hp and 2.9 s behind the 200 hp 1.6 MT, but it is the only version with 215/60 R16 in the data.
If you want the cheapest-to-run Manual diesel and can accept 14.3 s: 1.6 MT 92 hp. Highway 3.9 L/100 km (lowest), mixed 4.4, 230 Nm, compression 17.6. Gross weight not measured; wheels not measured; CO2 not measured; 172 mm clearance. Specific output is the lowest at ~59 hp/L.
If you want 115 hp diesel with a pedal clutch: 1.6 MT 115 hp, not ESG. Same 270 Nm as ESG, 6-speed Manual, 12.4 s (1.1 s slower than ESG), mixed 4.7 vs 4.4, 1365 kg vs 1300. Wheels and CO2 not measured.
Fuel: Gasoline versions specify 95; Diesel versions specify Diesel. Oil type, OBD port, warning-light reset, engine mounts, and fault codes are not in this dataset — those searches cannot be answered with catalogue numbers.
Short map: pace → 1.6 MT 200 hp; litres and CO2 → 1.6 ESG; diesel Automatic with ground clearance → 2.0 AT; diesel Manual with the same 160 hp → 2.0 MT; Gasoline Automatic → either 1.6 AT, and the 150 vs 163 split is clearance and 0.4 s, not mpg; lightest / 16-inch → 1.6 MT 120 hp; lowest highway figure → 1.6 MT 92 hp.
