Polestar 4 Electric SUV: Pricing, Specs, and Features Revealed

Are you ready to experience the future of electric SUVs?

The Australian pricing and specifications for the Polestar 4 electric SUV have been announced, with the order books now open. This highly anticipated model is set to arrive in August 2024, joining the Polestar 2 and the upcoming Polestar 3 in the Australian market. With a competitive starting price of $81,500, the Polestar 4 offers a range of features and options that make it a strong contender against the Tesla Model Y. Let’s dive into the details.

The Polestar 4 is priced competitively, starting from $81,500 for the single motor variant. For those seeking more power, the dual-motor option is available at $93,050. These prices put the Polestar 4 in direct competition with the Tesla Model Y, which starts from $65,400 in Australia. While the base price of the Model Y is lower, the higher grades of the Model Y align closely with the Polestar 4 in terms of features and pricing.

One of the standout features of the Polestar 4 is its rear window, or rather the lack thereof. Instead of a traditional rear window, the Polestar 4 utilizes a roof-mounted camera to provide rear visibility. This innovative design not only adds a futuristic touch but also offers a wider field of view compared to a conventional rear-view mirror.

When it comes to performance, the Polestar 4 impresses with its powertrains. The single motor variant delivers 200kW of power and 343Nm of torque, while the dual-motor variant doubles those figures with up to 400kW and 686Nm. This allows for swift acceleration and a thrilling driving experience.

In terms of efficiency, the Polestar 4 is equipped with a 94kWh battery, providing substantial range. The single motor variant targets a range of 610km, while the dual motor variant offers a range of 580km. Charging is also convenient, with the ability to charge at up to 11kW AC as standard, or 22kW with the optional ‘Plus Pack’. DC fast charging at up to 200kW ensures quick top-ups, allowing the battery to go from 10 to 80 percent in just 30 minutes.

The Polestar 4 offers ample space for both passengers and cargo. With a length of 4840mm, it provides a comfortable interior for all occupants. The front boot offers 15 litres of storage capacity, while the rear boot provides 526 litres of space (including 31 litres under the floor). Folding down the rear seats expands the cargo area to an impressive 1536 litres. Additionally, the Polestar 4 has a braked towing capacity of 1500kg for the single motor variant and 2000kg for the dual motor variant.

When it comes to after-sales support, the Polestar 4 comes with a comprehensive warranty package. It includes a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, ensuring peace of mind for owners. The 94kWh battery is covered by an additional eight-year or 160,000km warranty, with a minimum of 70 percent battery capacity guaranteed throughout the warranty period. Polestar also provides three years of complimentary Polestar Connect and five years of roadside assistance.

Safety is a top priority for Polestar, although the Polestar 4 is yet to receive an official safety rating. However, it comes packed with a range of standard safety features, including seven airbags, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. The ‘Pilot Assist’ highway driving system provides automatic acceleration, braking, and steering at speeds of up to 150km/h, enhancing both safety and convenience. Additional safety features include blind-spot monitoring, driver monitoring system, and road sign recognition.

The Polestar 4 offers a range of standard equipment and options to suit individual preferences. The single motor variant comes with 20-inch ‘Aero’ wheels, LED headlights, and a 15.4-inch infotainment system powered by Android Automotive. The dual motor variant adds semi-active dampers, Range and Performance driving modes, and a launch mode for an exhilarating experience. There are also various options and packages available, including Pro Pack, Plus Pack, and Performance Pack, allowing customers to customize their Polestar 4 to their liking.
