Polestar 4 review | First look at this gorgeous EV! 

Hey ScottyJ1122 - Just a few facts for you Volvo trolls….(1) Polestar is fully funded for the next 3 years…with 3 new models to launch during that time period. Polestar has, as of March 2024, over $1 billion in independent (not Volvo) financing; (2) Geely owns both Polestar and Volvo. So nothing that Volvo did, with respect to divesting itself from Polestar, was done without Geely’s authorization.; (3) As Polestar cars are far more interesting (ie, Volvo cars are still stodgy looking…always have been, and always will be) than Volvo EV’s, the Geely plan was to always separate Polestar from Volvo. I’m very happy that Volvo management is out of Polestar’s chain of command. Volvo was always an anchor on Polestar’s creativity and innovation. Ultimately, whether Polestar or any EV startup company survives the slowdown in demand in EV’s from consumers, is something the market will determine. Clearly, this slowdown is affecting many/most EV brands in terms of sales. Coupled with huge US tariffs and the loss of any US subsidy for Polestar cars, does put them at a pricing disadvantage. But for the next 3-4 years, Polestar will be producing some stellar EV’s, and my advice for anybody worrying about their future…I would lease, then there is nothing to worry about during your lease period.

Single Motor Long Range with Plus pack. 1 year old after suffering 20% depreciation (hopefully more)........would be the optimal way to get into one of these. Beautiful car and would probably be top of my EV wish list. (this might change if the Xiaomi SU7 ever makes it to our shores) (Nobby, the dash speaker isn't a "Sub"........it's a centre channel)

All that technology in the back.....that my grandchildren would never use.

Hi Nobby, i love it except ill have to rob a bank or win the Lotto to get on.

I do love the clean/minimalist look to these cars. I think it has to be in white for it to really pop. The other colours look flat in comparison. Great review as always

back seats are incredible!

It’s sorta like choosing a new kitchen.

Had a look at this (Battersea station) .But no way do the sums add up . Not at the moment .The sales are so low for EV's that they are stacking up at docks in their thousands

No rear windscreen = no doggy - looks great, but not for me.

the euro tax on chinese ev,s could affect the prices.

Expensive but so is an i4.

I don’t get it. What was the benefit of having no rear window? As a van driver in a past life, I do not want to go back to no rear window for no reason. What is gained in such an odd choice?

Why are people so into large EVs.They are overpriced.Most of the gadgets in the EVs you will not use.Smaller EVs with average range is the way go and that is from some one who drives an EV hatchback.

I’m driving a polestar 2 while my model y is fixed, due to a hit and run it recorded. The polestar is so monumentally behind on so many fronts it is unbelievable. I tried to like it. But far out. I miss absolutely everything about the model Y in comparison. Looks like the polestar 4 has copied Tesla horizontal screen layout and UX on many fronts. This is probably a good thing, as the UX on the 2 is infuriating, and clunky as hell.

7.1 seconds to 60, what sort of nonsense is that 😂

These EVs all look the same, boring.

Removing the back window is even more stupid then Tesla removing the indicator stalks.

I get fed up, stuck behind idiots in EVs driving at 40 mph everywhere!

Is there people out there that pay that much money the best of look to them

Had a Polestar 2 as a hire car last week, loved it.

Looks great

Beautiful car, thorough review Nobby. Half the add-ons in the 6k ‘plus pack’ I would have expected to be included in a 70k car. I just picked up a Model Y RWD for 44k 0% HP (10k deposit) Polstar 4 is very popular in China selling at 45k euro equivalent

Imagine how much the tyres will be when you have to replace them

Well at least they got over the “not doing rear windscreen wiper” 😊. Makes you wonder what the hell €68,000 gets you when the list of items in the pack should probably be standard …….be interesting to see how much that lovely interior cost. Think you could be getting up to €90,000 for the dual motor. And no rear windscreen.

Great review, looking forward to the first drive and comparison of the single and dual motor versions 👍🏻

I’ll keep my petrol car thanks,EV’s are way too expensive

Having seen one at a show, it’s a real looker.

Regarding the 360 degrees camera, how can we see the car from the top? Where would that camera located?

Polestar design team finding out it would cost another €50 to have a rear wiper ‘f#ck that, let’s just get rid of the rear window’.

Absolutely stunning car! This is the benchmark for the future!

Expensive!

Looks nothing like a Tesla..

A very flashy barbecue, hope it is good at doing steaks.

Ha ha Volvo have just sold there shares in Polestar as quick as they could. The company probably will not be here next year.
