Polestar 4 takes to the field and is now officially available for purchase in Europe and Australia.
The opening of the new markets comes, for the latest addition to Polestar, after the start of production and the first deliveries in China at the end of 2023.
"The introduction of Polestar 4 in all our markets during the 2024 - commented Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar - plays a crucial role in our success, enriching our model range. Polestar 4 conquers the premium performance class in the D-SUV segment. The innovative interpretation of Polestar 4 of an SUV coupe offers great interior space and a striking appearance."
Online sales start with an indicative price of 66,900 euros and production is expected to begin in mid-2024, with the first deliveries expected from August.
For Polestar's fastest production car to date, design elements already seen in the Scandinavian company's concept cars are brought into production.
In terms of size and price, however, Polestar 4 is positioned between Polestar 2 and Polestar 3.
On the design front, Polestar 4 sees the continuation of the key elements first shown by the Polestar Precept concept car.
These include the elimination of the rear window and the separation of the twin-blade headlights with the Polestar light signature, complemented by the Polestar logo with millimeter precision illumination from below.
Aerodynamic efficiency is improved by the low front end, retractable door handles, flush windows, rear aerodynamic fins and optimized airflow around the rear light bar.
Built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture) developed by Geely Holding, Polestar 4 is a D-segment SUV coupé with a large body and a long wheelbase of 2,999 mm.
The overall length is 4,840 mm, the width is 2,139 mm and the height is 1,534 mm.
The absence of a rear window allows the full-length glass roof to extend beyond the heads of the rear passengers, while a secondary screen for media and climate control is mounted between the front seats to allow monitoring of the rear occupants.
The rear-view mirror is replaced by a high-definition screen that displays images in real time thanks to a rear-view camera mounted on the roof, which also allows for a much wider field of vision.
The digital signal can be deactivated to allow the driver to see rear occupants if necessary.
A mono-material approach, first presented in the Polestar electric roadster concept vehicle in 2022, is applied to interior materials, where all layers of certain components are produced from the same base material.
This allows them to be recycled more effectively and efficiently, eliminating the need to separate incompatible materials before recycling.
Dual- and single-motor variants are available, with the single-motor featuring rear-wheel drive.
A 100 kWh battery is installed in both long-range versions.
The Long range Dual motor has 400 kW (544 HP), 686 Nm and a preliminary target of autonomy of up to 580 km in the WLTP cycle.
The Long range Single motor version features a 200 kW (272 hp) and 343 Nm engine at the rear, with a preliminary range target of up to 610 km.
