Polestar has delivered the first Polestar 4 SUV coupés in Europe as it expands from a one- to three-car lineup. With Polestar 2, Polestar 3 and now Polestar 4 on European roads, the Swedish electric car brand continues to grow its offering.
Having already been delivered to customers in China, Polestar 4 first deliveries in Europe accelerates Polestar cars’ global presence, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth. The initial vehicles have been delivered to customers in Germany, Norway and Sweden, with customer deliveries across other European markets set to accelerate in the coming weeks.
Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar says: “With Polestar 3 on the road since summer, this is the next important milestone for us in 2024 as we make our first European deliveries of Polestar 4 and give our customers even more choice. With three models, Polestar is positioning itself as the design-led premium luxury electric car brand in the global EV market.”
With Polestar 4 production set to begin in South Korea in 2025, the company’s manufacturing footprint is also expanding, increasing Polestar’s capability to produce and deliver more Polestar 4 SUV coupés globally.
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 4,840 mm, width is 2,139 mm and height is 1,544 mm. The resulting generous interior proportions are especially evident in the rear, where occupants are cocooned in an intimate environment, with electrically reclining seats. Adjustable ambient lighting that adds an extra dimension to the interior, inspired by the solar system, allows the occupants to customise the driving environment.
Polestar 4 is the fastest production car the brand has developed to date. The 0-100 km/h sprint can be completed in just 3.8 seconds and maximum power output is 400 kW (544 hp). Motors are of a permanent magnet, synchronous design. Driving dynamics are true to the Polestar brand – sharp steering and handling responses result in a thrilling and nimble driving experience for all occupants.
Both dual- and single-motor variants are available, with the single-motor featuring rear-wheel drive. Despite the high output and performance, control and confidence are always key factors to produce a responsible, everyday-enjoyable EV experience. Semi-active suspension features in the dual-motor version for an additional layer of adjustment between comfort and performance dynamics. Wheels range from 20 to 22-inches in size, with tyres supplied by Pirelli and Michelin, depending on configuration.
A 100 kWh battery is fitted to both long-range versions. The Long range Dual motor features 400 kW (544 hp), 686 Nm and a preliminary range target of up to 580 km WLTP. A disconnect clutch allows the car to disengage the front electric motor when not needed, to maximise range and efficiency.
The Long range Single motor version features a 200 kW (272 hp) and 343 Nm motor at the rear, and preliminary range target of up to 610 km WLTP.
Up to 200 kW DC and 22 kW AC charging is included for both versions, and the charge lid is motorised. Bi-directional charging hardware is included, with vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality planned to be made available at a later date, providing for external devices to draw power from Polestar 4. A heat pump is fitted as standard, allowing the car to capitalise on ambient heat when preconditioning the cabin and battery.
