Polestar 4 (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Fabulously glamorous looks	Infotainment can be baffling
Huge interior space	No rear window
Cool design and good quality	Slightly shaky reliability record

Quick Summary

The Polestar 4 is an unconventional and highly desirable all-electric SUV-coupé that combines striking Scandinavian design with impressive practicality. Its most distinctive feature is the absence of a rear window, which allows for a sleek roofline whilst maintaining excellent headroom and legroom for all five occupants. The cabin is exceptionally spacious, with a 526-litre boot expandable to 1,536 litres with the rear seats folded. Two powertrains are available: a Single Motor variant with 268bhp offering 0-62mph in 7.1 seconds, and a Dual Motor version with 536bhp achieving 0-62mph in just 3.8 seconds. Both feature a substantial 100kWh battery providing an official WLTP range of up to 385 miles.

The interior showcases minimalist Scandinavian design with a 15.4-inch Google-powered infotainment touchscreen, though the system can be overly complicated to navigate. The car rides and handles well, delivering a pleasant balance between comfort and engagement, whilst remaining virtually silent in operation. Standard equipment is generous, including LED lighting, 360-degree cameras, panoramic roof, and heated front seats. Running costs are reasonable for the segment, with home charging costing approximately £26 for a full charge at UK national average rates, though DC rapid charging at public networks is considerably more expensive. The Polestar 4 represents a stylish and entertaining alternative to conventional prestige SUVs for those seeking electric performance and sophistication.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive, glamorous all-electric SUV with impressive space and performance, those prioritising Scandinavian design and quality, and drivers willing to embrace unconventional features for style and practicality.

Not ideal for: Traditionalists uncomfortable with the no-rear-window design, those requiring simple, intuitive infotainment systems, or buyers concerned about emerging brand reliability records.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Polestar 4 if: You seek a distinctive, glamorous all-electric SUV with impressive space and performance, prioritise Scandinavian design and quality, or desire an unconventional alternative to mainstream prestige SUVs.

Consider alternatives if: You're uncomfortable with the no-rear-window design, require intuitive infotainment systems, or have concerns about emerging brand reliability records.

Competitive Position: The Polestar 4 is a compelling contender in the premium electric SUV market, offering striking design, exceptional interior space, and impressive performance at competitive pricing. Whilst the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E achieve higher overall CarGurus ratings and better value scores, the Polestar 4 distinguishes itself through its unique aesthetic, sophisticated Scandinavian interior, and generous equipment levels. It sits between the BMW iX3 and its rivals in terms of overall rating, offering more distinctive styling than the BMW whilst maintaining comparable performance credentials. For buyers prioritising design individuality and interior quality over established brand prestige, the Polestar 4 represents an excellent choice in this increasingly competitive segment.
