POLESTAR 4 - NO LOOKING BACK

EV Channels Review

The Polestar 4 presents a bold, unconventional approach to the electric SUV coupe segment. Its most striking feature, the absence of a rear window, is surprisingly effective, offering a superior rearward view via camera and significantly enhancing rear passenger space. The interior impresses with a focus on sustainability, luxurious materials, and a high-tech, albeit button-light, user experience centered around a large landscape touchscreen. While the single-motor version offers ample performance and a well-balanced chassis, the dual-motor variant, with its 536 horsepower and sub-4-second 0-60 time, is the most powerful Polestar to date. The reviewer highlights the improved steering feel and excellent brake pedal response as key driving dynamics strengths. Downsides include a slight increase in wind noise from the frameless doors and an overzealous driver assistance system that can be intrusive. Despite these minor drawbacks, the Polestar 4 is lauded for its unique design, practicality, and commitment to sustainability, positioning it as a strong contender in its class.
