The Polestar 4 is a battery electric compact luxury crossover SUV produced by Swedish automaker Polestar since 2023. The vehicle is manufactured by Geely Holding in a factory in Hangzhou Bay, China. [5] The 4 is the third vehicle to use the rear- and all-wheel drive based platform, Sustainable Experience Architecture. The vehicle is a coupe SUV that went into production in November 2023, [6] and from launch will have two powertrain options. [7]

Overview

The vehicle was unveiled in April 2023 at the 2023 Auto Shanghai, [8] as part of Geely's new SEA platform, where it underpins primarily battery electric vehicles, such as the Zeekr X and the Polestar 5. Positioned between the smaller Polestar 2 compact executive liftback and the larger Polestar 3 mid-size luxury crossover, it belongs to the British D-segment size segmentation. Having no rear window, it is replaced by the roof-mounted camera system. Polestar claims it is the fastest production car the brand has made, accelerating from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds.

The 4 is a two-row coupe crossover, that has a choice of the rear-wheel drive model where the motor is placed at the rear axle, or the performance all-wheel drive model where the motors are placed at both the front and rear axles. [9]

The vehicle is to be available in countries such as Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific from 2024.

Equipment

Standard equipment includes the 15.4-inch landscape touchscreen which consists of the Android Automotive, which is used on the Polestar 2. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 14.7-inch head-up display come standard. A full-length glass roof, and a digital rear-vision mirror are available, and interior, which according to Polestar, is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester. The 4 will feature 20- to 22-inch wheels, depending on the trim chosen. [10]

Powertrain

The 4 consists of 2 models, the Single Motor RWD, and the Dual Motor AWD. The Single Motor generates 272 hp (203 kW) and 343 N⋅m (253 lbf⋅ft), with a top speed of 180 km/h (110 mph) and a 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) of 7.4 seconds. The Dual Motor generates a combined output of 544 hp (406 kW) and 686 N⋅m (506 lbf⋅ft) using both of its motor, with a top speed of 200 km/h (120 mph) and a 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) of 3.8 seconds. Both models use a 400 V, 102 kWh lithium nickel manganese cobalt battery.
