POLESTAR 4 NOW AVAILABLE TO ORDER IN AMERICA! HERE'S EVERYTHING WE KNOW

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 4 has officially arrived in the US market, with pricing and specifications now available. This "SUV Coupe" aims to blend sporty aesthetics with practicality, notably featuring a controversial removal of the rear window in favor of a digital rearview mirror and increased interior space. While the design is lauded for its sleekness and the interior for its premium fit and finish, the vehicle faces criticism for its range, with the single-motor version offering 300 miles and the dual-motor AWD variant achieving 270 miles (EPA estimates). Charging speed is also noted as merely adequate, not class-leading, with a 10-80% charge taking around 30 minutes. Performance is strong, especially in the dual-motor configuration, which boasts 540 horsepower and a 3.7-second 0-60 mph time, making it Polestar's quickest vehicle to date. However, the chassis tuning is described as more comfort-oriented than overtly sporty, prioritizing rear passenger experience. The vehicle's pricing starts in the mid-$50,000s, but can quickly escalate to over $80,000 with options, including a $5,000 Nappa leather package and a $4,500 performance pack. Polestar's brand ethos appears to prioritize design and unique features over outright range and charging metrics, positioning the Polestar 4 as an intriguing, albeit unconventional, alternative in the premium EV segment, particularly for those seeking a distinctive design and a departure from traditional automotive norms.
