First and foremost, Maximilian Missoni’s just released Polestar 4 offers the fastest acceleration, sleek new design, plus the lowest, sustainable climate impact and a stunning range up to (EPA) of 300 miles.
This clean sheet approach has led to some interesting design decisions being made, the most notable of which is the removal of the rear screen window.
Missoni’s Polestar 4 has been engineered to combine SUV comfort with sports coupe handling and performance, resulting in a balanced and highly responsive car. It’s the quickest production Polestar to date.
From transparent to opaque in an instant. Liquid crystals allow the electro-chromic glass roof to reflect light and reduce glare.
A panoramic view of the outside. An open and spacious feel on the inside.Polestar 4 proffers a low, sleek front. Air curtains below the headlights.
Rear side aero blades.
Flush glazing and door handles.
A completely flat floor. All aerodynamic features are integrated design elements, working in unison to minimize drag and maximize range and performance.
The low center of gravity, balanced weight distribution, structural stiffness, and carefully tuned suspension components result in a confidence-inspiring chassis and enhanced steering response.
Inside, drawing inspiration from fashion and sportswear, Polestar 4 pairs tactile, made-to-fit performance fabrics with integrated lighting to create an enveloping yet spacious interior.
Based on innovations from the footwear industry, this fabric is knitted to fit, using yarn made from 100% recycled PET bottles.
The resulting high-quality material minimizes waste without compromising the look and feel.
The Polestar 4 interior concept replaces wood and metal deco panels with an ultra-fine, technical mesh textile.
Covering the door panels, it can be backlit, changing colors together with the solar system-inspired illumination.
Forming an orbit around the driver and passengers, the solar system-inspired interior illumination creates a calm and immersive ambiance.
Its white and variable-color LEDs change the atmosphere when one of the planetary themes is selected in the center display.
Up to 8-way adjustable sports seats in the front. Electric recliner seats in the rear.
Polestar 4 has been designed with a focus on ergonomics, providing optimal comfort and support no matter the length of the journey or the style of driving.
Relax mode—on.
The optional massage function includes wave, upper back, lumbar, and spot massage settings for both front seats.
Individual controls and three intensity levels per mode cater to personal preferences.
Rear passengers experience a spacious, cocooned environment with generous head and legroom.
The optional electric recliner seats allow the seat backs to be angled to 34 degrees for an even more relaxing drive.
Always see what needs to be seen.
The car’s displays automatically adapt to the ambient light for optimal readability.
The sophisticated yet intuitive interface ensures information is presented without distraction.
Polestar 4 provides all the storage space needed for everyday life. The total volume behind the rear seats is 18.6 ft³, expandable to 54.2 ft³ by folding the seats down.
There’s room under the floor for smaller items, and the floor level can be adjusted to suit the cargo.
The sustainable initiatives are in line with Polestar’s efforts to produce a climate-neutral car, which it aims to do by 2030 but has admitted is a “moonshot goal.”
The company says the Polestar 4 is its lowest-carbon car to date, with a cradle-to-gate footprint of 19.9 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) for the single-motor model.
Production on cars for Europe, the UK, and Australia is planned to start in mid-2024 with deliveries being made from August.
The first deliveries of Chinese orders were made at the end of 2023.
