The Austin Princess IV was introduced in 1956 as a replacement for the Sheerline and the A135, offered as a saloon coded DS7 and a touring limousine coded DM7. It used a redesigned dashboard with the instruments directly in front of the driver, an automatic gearbox and power steering. It had to be priced at 6.5 times an Austin A30, which left it with almost no demand, and only 199 were built. It shared its engine family with the Austin A135.
