Polestar continues to surprise us in 2024 with the emergence of its most ambitious model to date. We are talking about the Polestar 4, a hybrid between an SUV and a coupe car which is presented to us with two motors that move in the environment. 600 kilometers of autonomy. The Swedish brand is fully attacking the waterline of the main sector leaders like Tesla, Audi or BMW with an elegant but also very low-end car.
This crossing between SUV and sedan It was born by bringing together the best features of its older brothers, the Polestar 2 and 3, obtain a very rounded product both in terms of performance and image. We are talking about a very innovative car in that it does not have a rear window to take advantage of the space by providing a 526 trunk, ideal for a large family.
The absence of a rear window is replaced by two cameras located in place and permanently connected to the rearview mirror being a solution that many companies will copy in the future. Volvo, which is the father of this Nordic brand, has set trends throughout history when it comes to safety in cars, so there is no reason to fear any aspect of reliability.
Flag Safety
The Polestar 4 does not fail to meet expectations, together equipping 12 ultrasonic sensors and 12 cameras offering 360º vision.. This car has all kinds of safety equipment such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, active rear cross-traffic detection, lane keeping assist and unintentional lane departure warning, active turning at intersections, blind spot detector, intelligent high beam assistant (up/down) and traffic sign reader.
Although you might think that the absence of a moon might make you feel claustrophobic, the Polestar 4 is inside a very bright car thanks to its panoramic roof and light-colored upholstery which gives us a feeling of large space. The measurements of this car are also gigantic at 4.84 meters long, 2.14 wide and 1.54 high. The most obvious result is that there is 30 centimeters of space between the seat cushion and the front backrest and the seats also recline.
In the front seats, in addition to the expected comfort, we see that we are facing a very open space presided over by a 15.4-inch multimedia screen where we manage all the behavior of the car and assisted by the Android Automotive system. Without a doubt, this screen makes the difference in the Polestar 4, but you should know that you need to take a preliminary course to get started.
Two engines
The Polestar 4 range presents two versions. The single engine has a single rear propeller, while the double engine is all-wheel drive with two motors, one per axle. Both motors are equipped with the same nickel, magnesium and cobalt battery with a capacity of 100 kWh, which gives us a range of 610 km in the single-engine version and 580 km in which it has two propellers.
The advantages between the two versions are obvious in terms of power. The Dual Motor has 544 horsepower acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 secondswhile the single engine develops 272 horsepower and accelerates in 7.1 seconds. Both propulsions give a top speed of 200 km/h.
This Polestar 4 has an entry price of 65,900 euros in its single-engine option, while all-wheel drive starts at 72,900 euros. The negative note of these prices is that none of them can benefit from the purchase assistance of the MOVES III plan because they are too expensive to be included in the government promotion. Despite this setback, the brand prime The Swede is clear that quality and safety do not mean discounts.
