The Polestar 4 is the car people talk about for something it left out. When it was revealed in 2023, the sloping SUV-coupe had no rear window at all; a roof-mounted camera fed a digital rear-view mirror instead, which let designers stretch the glass roof back over the rear seats and give passengers a lounge-like space. It was bold, a little divisive and very much in character for a brand that likes to make a point with its design.
Underneath, the Polestar 4 uses the Geely group's SEA electric architecture, shared with Zeekr models, rather than the Volvo hardware of the Polestar 3. It comes in single-motor rear-drive and potent dual-motor forms, and was first built in China before production began in South Korea, which helps with access to markets wary of Chinese-made cars. Recent updates brought chassis revisions and, according to recent first drives, a conventional rear window option for buyers who never warmed to the camera.
Priced below the Polestar 3, it is cross-shopped against the Tesla Model Y, the Genesis GV60, the Kia EV6, the BMW iX3 and the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback. It is sold in Europe, Australia, Korea, Canada and beyond. Look here for reviews from launch drives and long-term tests, pricing changes, specification updates, recalls and the wider story of how a Swedish brand with Chinese parentage navigates a world of tariffs.
The SUV-coupe that famously launched without a rear window, using a camera instead, now updated with sharper chassis tuning and a fresh round of reviews.
