About Polestar 4
Polestar revealed a new model at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, and it stunned the audience with the sleek, coupe-like shape of its new crossover.
The high-performance division of Volvo, now under the Chinese brand Geely, continued its quest to develop new exciting models for those willing to travel CO2-free. Moreover, the automaker targeted a range of up to 350 miles (563 km) on a single charge for the dual-motor version. But that wasn't all; for the Long Range version, which was fitted with one motor, Polestar announced a comfortable range of 372 miles (599 km). Both figures were related to the WLTP cycle. But those figures didn't mean anything unless the end product wouldn't perform and look good. But the carmaker nailed those aspects as well.
By using sharp lines for the headlights, the SUV-coupe vehicle resembled some of the automaker's concept cars previously shown. Viewed from the sides, the crossover has shown its sloped-down rear end of the greenhouse, and there was no rear windscreen. Instead, Polestar installed a camera at the back that projected the image on a high-definition screen that replaced the rear-view mirror.
Inside, the five-seat vehicle offered the same minimalist design as seen in other Polestar products. There were two bolstered seats at the front and a benchseat for three in the back. Thanks to Geely's proprietary Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, the automaker could create a completely flat floor. Thus, there were no issues with legroom for three occupants, even on long journeys. At the front, Polestar 4 featured two screens: one fronting the driver and the other one placed atop the center stack.
The Polestar 4 was the quickest vehicle produced by the automaker until then. Depending on the version, it was available either as a rear-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive vehicle.
