THE next model for Swedish EV specialists Polestar has gone on sale with first deliveries expected in August 2024.
As with other models in the range, the Polestar 4 is built in China and the company says its newcomer blends the aerodynamics of a coupe with the space of an SUV.
The Polestar 4 will be priced from £59,990 with versions fitted with dual motors costing from £66,990.
Built on the premium Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) developed by parent company Geely Holding, Polestar 4 has a large body and long, 2,999 mm wheelbase. Overall length is 4,840 mm, width is 2,139 mm and height is 1,544 mm.
The design of the Polestar 4 incorporates features first shown by the Polestar Precept concept car, including the elimination of the rear window which enables a new kind of immersive rear occupant experience, and the separation of the dual blade front lights with a Polestar light signature - complemented by the Polestar emblem with millimetre-precision lighting from below.
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. The digital feed can be deactivated to allow drivers to instead see rear occupants if needed.
The Polestar 4 is the fastest production car the brand has developed to date and can accelerate from 0 to 62mph in 3.8 seconds with its maximum power output is 544hp.
Both dual- and single-motor variants are available, with the single-motor featuring rear-wheel drive.
The car has a claimed range of up to 362 miles with the rear-wheel drive model rated at 381 miles on a full charge.
