Polestar Unveils Polestar 4, an Electric Performance SUV Coupé (Minus a Rear Window)

Polestar has unveiled Polestar 4, an electric performance SUV coupé and the second SUV in the brand’s line-up. The new model is the fastest Polestar production car to date.

The 0-62 mph sprint can be completed in just 3.8 seconds and its maximum power output is 400 kW (544 hp).

Polestar 4 features of  include the elimination of the rear window which offers a new immersive rear occupant experience with reclining seats.

The rear-view mirror is replaced by a high-definition screen that shows a real-time feed from a roof-mounted rear camera – enabling a far wider field of view than what can be experienced in most modern cars. 

Built on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) developed by Geely Holding, Polestar 4 is a D-segment SUV coupé with a large body and long, 2,999 mm wheelbase. 

The Long range Dual motor features 400 kW (544 hp), 686 Nm and a preliminary range target of up to 350 miles WLTP. 

Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO., says: “With Polestar 4 we have taken a fundamental new approach to SUV coupé design. Rather than simply modifying an existing SUV, giving it a faster roofline and as a result, compromising elements like rear headroom and comfort, we have designed Polestar 4 from the ground up as a new breed of SUV coupé that celebrates rear occupant comfort and experience.” 

Maximilian Missoni, Head of Design at Polestar, adds: “With Polestar Precept we previewed a stunning new occupant experience by removing the rear window and pushing the rear header, which plays an integral safety role, further back. This means that now, rear occupants can have a unique experience in our SUV coupé.”

Polestar 4 launches first in China, with production planned to begin in Hangzhou Bay, China, in November 2023.
