Updated Article
Are you ready to get your hands on the slick new ride, mate? Let's talk about the upcoming Polestar 4 electric SUV coupe! This bad boy is set to hit Aussie highways starting from August 2024, and it's already available for pre-order.
Joining the existing Polestar 2 sedan and the Polestar 3 SUV, which will be released mid-year, the Polestar 4 is destined to turn heads with its unique exterior design. This baby ditches the conventional rear window and instead sports a full-length glass roof – who said SUVs couldn’t be stylish?
So, what’s the cost for this ride, you ask? The Polestar 4 is priced to comfortably fit between the Polestar 2 sedan and Polestar 3 SUV, starting at $78,500 plus on-road costs for the Long-range Single motor, and $88,350 plus on-road costs for the Long-range Dual motor. Both models ship with the Pilot Pack as standard, including Pilot Assist, Polestar's cutting-edge driver assistance system.
If you want to customize your ride, you can pick from additional packs during the online purchasing process. There's the Plus Pack ($8,000), Pro Pack ($2,500), Nappa upgrade ($8,000), and dual-motor exclusive Performance Pack ($7,200). The Plus Pack offers luxurious upgrades like a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a 14.7-inch head-up display, and mist-tone tailored knit upholstery. The Pro Pack includes 21-inch wheels, Swedish gold striped seatbelts, while the Nappa upgrade adds animal-friendly Nappa leather upholstery, among other perks. The Performance Pack amps up the appearance and driving experience for the Long-range Dual motor version, featuring 22-inch wheels, 4-piston Brembo brakes, and Swedish gold details.

The long-range Dual motor churns out 400kW and 686Nm and is expected to travel up to 580km (WLTP). The Long-range Single motor, on the other hand, is estimated to achieve a range of 610km (WLTP) thanks to its 200kW / 343Nm motor at the rear. You'll be able to juice up your Polestar 4 with up to 200kW DC and 22kW AC charging via a motorized charge door. Sadly, vehicle to load (V2L) capability won’t be coming to Australian models.
Are you after a performance car? Well, the Polestar 4 is the quickest car Polestar has ever made, hitting 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds. The vehicle boasts solid driving dynamics, with sharp steering and handling, and semi-active suspension in the dual-motor version for an extra layer of comfort and performance tuning. Tire size varies from 20 to 22-inches, depending on the configuration.
Nervous about towing with an electric vehicle? Don’t be! The long-range Single motor model can tow up to 1,500kg (braked), and the dual-motor is capable of towing 2,000kg (braked), with a max unbraked capacity of 750kg. Head over to the Polestar configurator to equip your 4 with an optional electrically retractable towkit with FIX4BIKE compatibility for $2,900.
When it comes to the exterior design of the Polestar 4, the car takes inspiration from the Polestar Precept concept car, prioritizing aerodynamics. It features a low nose, retractable door handle, frameless windows, rear aero blades, and a rear light bar. The interior design is inspired by fashion and sportswear industries, offering an environmentally-friendly cabin and several new color options: Storm, Electron, and Mist.
In terms of safety, the Polestar 4 will come equipped with on-par technologies to the 2024 Polestar 3, including Pilot Assist, seven airbags, 12 cameras, one radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. A driver monitoring camera system keeps an eye on driver fatigue or distraction, while a steering wheel sensor determines if the driver is still gripping the wheel. Please note, an ANCAP rating has yet to be released for the Polestar 4.
