The Polestar 3 SUV is now followed by the more compact Polestar 4 coupé SUV. Despite its similar DNA, this model sets new accents - especially in the rear, where the absence of a rear window creates a unique feeling of space.

On the engine side, the Polestar 4 offers a simple choice: A single motor with 200 kW/272 hp or a dual motor where the values are doubled accordingly to 400 kW/544 hp. Both variants use a long-range battery with a capacity of 100 kWh and a range of up to 620 kilometers. Charging takes place with up to 200 kW at fast charging stations; 11 kW is standard at home - those who want 22 kW must order the Plus package.

The price difference between the two variants is exciting: single engine from 62,900 and dual engine for 70,900 francs. A moderate surcharge for an increase in power from 272 to 544 hp and an improvement in acceleration from 7.1 to 3.8 seconds. The performance package is also available as an option, including a firmer chassis and larger brakes.

As usual, great importance is attached to the interior, which is kept simple in typical Swedish style. The most striking visual feature is, of course, the absence of the rear window. But it is more than just a design gimmick. It makes the passengers in the rear feel as if they are enclosed in a space capsule. Thanks to the huge panoramic roof, plenty of light nevertheless penetrates the interior, which skillfully avoids the feeling of confinement.

This creates a unique feel-good atmosphere for the passengers, which is a pleasant contrast to conventional rear seat experiences. The seats in the rear are electrically adjustable - both lengthways and in terms of angle. They are positioned slightly higher, giving passengers a good view to the front. The result: a comfortable and luxurious cocoon that turns long journeys into a relaxing experience.
