Polestar 4 is now officially on sale in Europe with a starting indicative price of EUR 63,200. Production is planned to start towards the middle of 2024, with first deliveries expected from August.Polestar 4 transforms the aerodynamics of a coupé and the space of an SUV into a new breed of SUV coupé. Polestar 4 is positioned between Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 in terms of size and price.As a design-driven brand, the design of Polestar 4 sees the continuation of key elements first shown by the Polestar Precept concept car, coming to life. Aerodynamic efficiency is enhanced by the low nose, retractable door handles, flush glazing with frameless windows, rear aero blades and air flow optimisation around the rear light bar.Thanks to the elimination of the rear window, the standard full-length glass roof stretches beyond the rear occupants’ heads, creating a truly unique interior ambience. A secondary media and climate control screen is mounted between the front seats to enable rear occupant control.
