POLESTAR 4 LAUNCHES IN AMERICA, FORD LIGHTNING RECALLED & NISSAN LEAF UPDATE

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 4 has officially launched in the US for the 2026 model year, with pricing starting at $56,400 for the Long Range Single Motor variant. The vehicle offers up to 300 miles of range and a 100 kWh battery. An optional dual-motor setup increases horsepower to 544 but reduces range to 270 miles. A notable design feature is the absence of a rear window, relying entirely on cameras for rear visibility. While the design is considered unique and appealing by the hosts, concerns were raised about its efficiency, with an average of 3 miles per kWh and a peak DC fast charge rate of 200 kW being deemed somewhat weak compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y. The interior is described as minimalistic, featuring two screens and a central dial, though it may feel cramped similar to the Polestar 2. The vehicle will be built in South Korea, and its pricing is subject to a 25% tariff.
