Sculpted Coupé-SUV Presence

The Polestar 4 cuts a low, sculptural figure that blurs the line between coupé and SUV with a planted stance and crisp Scandinavian surfaces. At 4,840 mm long, 2,008 mm wide and 1,534 mm tall it looks wider than many compact SUVs, which helps its road presence and interior space. Signature minimal lighting and tight panel gaps give it a premium, purposeful look without shouting for attention. The overall effect is contemporary and confident rather than theatrical.

Scandi Calm Inside

Inside the cabin the design follows Polestar’s restrained, high-quality theme with clean lines, tactile switches and an emphasis on sustainable materials. Seating is laid out for five with supportive front chairs that suit long motorway runs and firmer surfaces that age well. Switchgear and finishes mostly feel premium though a few hard plastics appear in less visible areas. The cabin prioritises usability and durability over flashy ornamentation.

Room for People and Parcels

Practicality is credible: the boot offers 526 litres of luggage space and expands to 1,536 litres with the rear seats folded, big enough for several suitcases or weekend kit. Rear-seat space is competitive for the class with reasonable legroom, though the centre rear seat is narrow for long journeys. With a 455 kg payload and five seats the Polestar 4 will handle family duties with little drama. A low loading lip and wide hatch opening make day-to-day use straightforward.

Sporty Balance on the Road

On the move the Polestar 4 feels composed and engaging: the dual-motor Long Range delivers 544 hp and 686 Nm for about 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, while the single-motor Long Range produces 272 hp and 343 Nm with roughly 0–100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. The 94 kWh battery keeps the centre of gravity low, so the substantial kerb weights (around 2,355 kg twin motor and 2,230 kg single) rarely spoil handling in bends. Steering is accurate with a sporty weighting and the chassis strikes a good balance between comfort and body control. A 200 km/h top speed underlines the model’s performance intent more than its everyday use.

Range Reality and Charging Habits

The 94 kWh battery yields official consumption of 18.7 kWh/100 km for the dual-motor and 17.8 kWh/100 km for the single-motor, translating to WLTP ranges of roughly 590 km and 620 km respectively. In real-world mixed driving those figures typically reduce — expect everyday ranges of roughly 350–500 km depending on speed, climate control use and outside temperature. The single-motor version is the more efficient long-distance choice while the dual-motor swaps some range for brisk performance. Fast public charging makes longer trips practical, but planning still helps on extended runs.

Smart Tech Without the Gimmicks

The Polestar 4 runs Android Automotive with a large, responsive touchscreen that delivers Google apps, navigation and solid voice control for everyday tasks. Driver aids are comprehensive, covering adaptive cruise, lane-keep and traffic-aware systems that smooth both motorway-driving and urban commutes. Over-the-air updates keep the software current and reduce dealer visits for routine improvements. Some advanced settings can be buried in menus, but the technology feels useful rather than gimmicky.

Who Should Consider It?

The Polestar 4 suits buyers who want coupé-like styling, modern tech and usable electric range without sacrificing everyday practicality or a premium feel. The single-motor Long Range is aimed at efficiency-minded commuters chasing maximum WLTP range (around 620 km), while the dual-motor Long Range targets those after 544 hp performance and all-wheel traction with a 0–100 km/h time near 3.8 seconds. It’s a strong option for families, tech-forward commuters and style-conscious drivers who prefer understated Scandinavian design. As a premium EV, comparison-shopping on spec and intended use will pay off before deciding.
