Polestar has started taking orders for the second electric SUV in the brand’s line-up, the Polestar 4.

The car offers a range (WLTP) of up to 379 miles and is offered with two powertrain configurations.

Production is planned to start towards the middle of 2024, with first deliveries expected from August.

Single and Dual Motor models are available. The Polestar 4 is equipped with a 100kWh battery.

The Single Motor is proced from £59,990, while the Dual Motor is available for £66,990.

The Polestar 4 Single Motor develops 272PS, with power sent to the rear wheels.It can accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.9 seconds and has a range of 379 miles.

Dual Motor variants have 544PS and all-wheel-drive. Acceleration is much more potent, with 60mph achieved in just 3.7 seconds. The WLTP range is slightly less, at 360 miles.

Up to 200kW DC and 22kW AC charging is included for all versions, and the charge lid is motorised.

A heat pump is fitted as standard, allowing the car to capitalise on ambient heat when preconditioning the cabin and battery.

Built on the premium 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.

Overall length is 4,839 mm, width is 2,139 mm and height is 1,544 mm.

The standard full-length glass roof is available with optional electrochromic functionality, allowing for opaque or transparent execution depending on the mood. Thanks to the elimination of the rear window, the glass roof stretches beyond the rear occupants’ heads. A secondary media and climate control screen is mounted between the front seats to enable rear occupant control.

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.

The digital feed can be deactivated to allow drivers to instead see rear occupants if needed.

In Polestar 4, the infotainment system powered by Android Automotive OS and the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform now utilises a 15.4-inch landscape-oriented screen.

Google built-in, including Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play are included.

A Harman Kardon audio system is available as an option with 12 speakers and 1,400-Watt channel-hybrid amplifier.

An additional two headrest speakers are added to each front seat with the optional Nappa Pack– raising the total to 16. Naturally, Apple CarPlay is included.

As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air (OTA) updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles, removing the need to visit a workshop to gain the latest software.

Standard vehicle specification is high, with additional packages tailored to adding specific options.

The Plus Pack comprises comfort and technology upgrades, with the Plus Pro Pack adding a colour-coded body execution, the electrochromic glass roof and additional interior illumination.

The Nappa Pack can be specified in addition to the Plus Pack, and includes animal welfare-secured Nappa leather upholstery with ventilation, massage and additional headrest speakers for the front seats.

The Pilot Pack includes Pilot Assist and its extended features.

The Performance Pack increases the performance look and driving experience of the long-range dual motor version, with 22-inch wheels, 4-piston Brembo brakes, Polestar Engineered performance chassis tuning and Swedish gold details for the brakes, seat belts and valve caps.
