The Polestar 4 slides past in quiet, then you notice the missing rear window and the full-length glass roof flooding the cabin with light. This electric coupe SUV is the boldest interpretation yet of Polestar’s design language and ergonomics.
What makes Polestar 4 different
Polestar 4 is the brand’s second SUV, positioned between Polestar 2 and Polestar 3, but it looks more like a low, stretched coupe than a traditional family hauler. The roofline drops early, yet rear headroom feels generous thanks to clever packaging.
Most talked about is the decision to remove the rear window entirely and rely on a high-resolution digital rear-view mirror fed by a roof-mounted camera, a solution head of design Maximilian Missoni calls a way to free up space and improve aerodynamics.Official Polestar 4 product page
Battery, range and performance
Polestar 4 launches with two main battery configurations, including a long-range pack of around 100 kWh that targets up to 600 km WLTP in the dual-motor version, depending on specification.Polestar 4 press release The numbers place it among the more efficient coupe-style electric SUVs.
Output in the dual-motor variant reaches up to about 400 kW, giving brisk acceleration that feels more like a well-tuned performance car than a heavy crossover. The single-motor version aims at efficiency and price-sensitive buyers while keeping the same basic design.
Background on Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC shares
Polestar 4 is a key pillar in the brand’s shift from a single EV sedan to a broader lineup of electric SUVs, which many investors watch closely.
Interior and everyday feel
Inside, the Polestar 4 cabin mixes a slim horizontal dashboard with a central touchscreen and a separate driver display, avoiding the clutter that many EVs fall into. The steering wheel feels compact, yet the view forward stays clean.
Materials emphasize recycled content and low-carbon textiles, including knit fabrics and bio-attributed plastics that chief executive Thomas Ingenlath highlights as part of a consistent sustainability trajectory rather than a one-off experiment.Polestar sustainability note Seat bolsters are firm but not harsh, supporting shoulders and thighs without digging in.
Rear visibility and practicality
Driving, the missing rear window is initially disorienting. You glance up, see the bright digital mirror instead of glass, and the wide camera view shows more of the road behind than a conventional mirror would. At night, the image remains clear and relatively smooth.
The rear seats sit slightly higher, with knees supported and feet sliding under the front seats. Luggage space benefits from the rethought tail section, and the powered tailgate opens high enough that even a tall driver does not hit their head loading bags.
Charging and software experience
Polestar 4 supports high-power DC fast charging, allowing the battery to be replenished from low to around 80 percent in roughly half an hour under optimal conditions, depending on charger output and temperature. AC charging is handled via an onboard charger suited to home wallboxes.
The infotainment system builds on Polestar’s Android Automotive base, bringing native Google Maps, Google Assistant and app store support, but the brand overlays its own visual identity and menus. Over-the-air updates keep the car’s software evolving without workshop visits.
Launch markets and pricing
Polestar 4 first reached customers in China, built at Geely’s Hangzhou Bay facility, before rolling out to Europe and other regions. European deliveries are scheduled around 2024 and 2025, depending on local homologation and infrastructure readiness.
Pricing in the UK and mainland Europe targets a band below the larger Polestar 3 but above most compact EV crossovers, positioning the 4 as a more premium, design-led alternative. Detailed German pricing will follow with the official market launch announcements.
