Polestar has unveiled its third all-electric series model, the Polestar 4, at the Shanghai Auto Show. Positioned between the Polestar 2 and 3 in terms of size and price, the SUV coupĆ© is the brand’s fourth model and the third BEV model after the Polestar 1 PHEV coupĆ©. One of the most striking features of the Polestar 4 is the absence of a rear window. Instead, Polestar is claiming to provide ā€œa new kind of immersive rear occupant experience.ā€

According to Polestar, the Polestar 4 was designed from the ground up as an SUV coupƩ and not modified from an existing SUV, resulting in a spacious interior that prioritizes passenger comfort. The rear seats are reclining, and the interior mirror is replaced by a high-resolution screen that displays the image of a rear-view camera.

The Polestar 4 is based on Geely’s Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA), which has been the basis for many electric vehicles in recent years. The SUV coupĆ© takes over the permanently excited synchronous motors from the platform, which produce a system output of 400 kW and a torque of 686 Nm in the all-wheel-drive version presented in Shanghai. The single-motor variant will have a rear-wheel drive with 200 kW of power, 343 Nm of torque, and a range of 600 kilometers.

A 102 kWh battery is installed, which provides a provisional WLTP range of 560 kilometers for the all-wheel-drive version. The battery can be charged with up to 200 kW in both drive variants, and a bidirectional charging function will be available at the launch. Polestar emphasizes measures to increase the efficiency of the drive system, such as a disconnect clutch and a heat pump. The person at the wheel can choose between a range mode and a performance mode in the all-wheel-drive model.
