Polestar 4 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior design of the Polestar 4 is characterized by sleek, coupe-like lines and a low-slung front end. A defining feature is the complete absence of a traditional rear window, creating a unique rear profile and a specialized interior environment. Aerodynamics are enhanced through flush-mounted door handles, frameless windows, and active rear aero wings that control airflow. At the front, the signature dual-blade headlamp design and an illuminated emblem establish its visual identity. The vehicle measures 4,848 mm in length, with a width of 2,139 mm including mirrors and a low height of 1,534 mm, giving it a planted stance on the road.
Interior
Inside the cabin, the Polestar 4 adopts a modern aesthetic with passenger-centric comfort features. Because there is no rear window, the interior relies on a high-definition screen connected to a roof-mounted camera to serve as the rearview mirror, which can be turned off to view occupants. The cabin features a large panoramic glass roof that can be optioned with electrochromic glass for adjustable opacity. Infotainment is managed through a 15.4-inch touchscreen running Android Automotive OS, incorporating Google services like Maps and Assistant. Ambient lighting is adjustable, and the optional 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system includes speakers built into the front headrests.
Performance
Buyers can select between two electric powertrains, both utilizing a 102 kWh battery. The Long Range Single Motor version is rear-wheel drive, generating 200 kW (272 hp) and 343 Nm of torque, which enables a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 7.4 seconds and a WLTP-rated range of up to 600 km. The Long Range Dual Motor version features all-wheel drive, outputting 400 kW (544 hp) and 686 Nm of torque. This performance variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds with a WLTP range of up to 560 km. Charging capabilities include up to 200 kW DC fast charging and 22 kW AC charging, with vehicle-to-load bidirectional power functionality.
Practicality
With a 2,997 mm wheelbase, the Polestar 4 provides a spacious five-seat cabin despite its sloping roofline. Luggage capacity is practical, offering 526 liters of trunk space to accommodate family cargo and luggage. The vehicle has a ground clearance of 166 mm, providing decent usability on varying road surfaces. The inclusion of bidirectional charging (V2L) adds utility by enabling the high-voltage battery to power external electrical equipment, making it versatile for outdoor activities or emergency backup.
Safety and tech
The Polestar 4 features extensive safety tech developed in cooperation with Volvo Cars. It is equipped with nine airbags and the Mobileye SuperVision driver assistance suite, which relies on an array of twelve cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors, and one radar. A dedicated driver-monitoring camera tracks eye and head movements to detect fatigue or distraction. Key driving information is projected onto the windshield via a head-up display, ensuring the driver's focus remains on the road.
Buyer notes
When choosing between the trims, buyers should weigh performance against driving range. The Long Range Single Motor offers the longest range at 600 km and a more conservative rear-wheel-drive setup. Those seeking sports-car acceleration will prefer the Dual Motor variant, which cuts the 0-100 km/h time down to 3.8 seconds but slightly reduces the estimated range to 560 km. Standard equipment is generous, but options like the electrochromic glass roof and the upgraded Harman Kardon audio system with headrest speakers are worth checking on individual vehicles, as configurations can vary depending on regional market specifications.
