Polestar 4 Electric SUV Coupe Launches in 2024
Polestar, the Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer, is preparing to introduce the Polestar 4, a fastback electric SUV aimed at the premium segment, with initial deliveries expected in 2024. The model is positioned between Polestar’s compact 2 sedan and the larger 3 SUV and will target customers seeking style, performance, and sustainability.
Design and Features
The Polestar 4 adopts a distinct coupe-like silhouette, integrating design cues from both SUVs and sporty sedans. Notable is the removal of the traditional rear window, replaced by a full-length glass roof and a high-definition digital rearview mirror. The interior features sustainable materials, a minimalist dashboard, and advanced digital displays powered by Google’s Android Automotive OS.
Performance and Specifications
According to company statements, the Polestar 4 will be available in both single- and dual-motor variants. The dual-motor version will deliver up to 544 horsepower and achieve 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.8 seconds. Estimated range is over 560 kilometers (348 miles) on the WLTP cycle.
- Battery capacity: 102 kWh
- Maximum charging speed: up to 200 kW (DC fast charging)
- Vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability for powering external devices
Pricing and Availability
Polestar has announced that the 4 will debut in China in late 2023, followed by launches in Europe, North America, and select international markets in 2024. Starting prices in Europe are set around €60,000, with U.S. pricing expected to begin at approximately $60,000, though final figures may vary by region and specification.
Market Position and Expectations
With the Polestar 4, the automaker is aiming to compete with electric coupe SUVs such as the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback, and the upcoming Lotus Eletre. Industry analysts note that the model’s blend of performance and design could strengthen Polestar’s presence as legacy automakers and startups intensify competition in the electric vehicle market.
