Video: 2025 Polestar 4 Up Close: New ‘SUV Coupe’ Looks (Only) Ahead

This is a coop like version with sportier styling, but it has some different design cues, especially around the rear. So let's go take a closer look at this new model from Polestar. So many EV SUVs are not the traditional shape of the gas powered SUVs you might be familiar with. This is another example of that. It's an SUV more in name only because it's low slung. It has a low roof line, kind of like the Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E. It has kind of an evolved version of Polestar's front-end design with kind of a different headlight treatment that's split with paint color running between it. And around the side, you can see on this model has pretty aggressive wheels and tires. They're 22 inches on this version. So one of the benefits with many EVs is, is you get front storage under the hood. The Polestar 4 has that, but it's pretty small, a lot smaller than what you're gonna find in Tesla Model Y or Ford Mustang Mach-E even. So you could put something in there but not too much. You might notice something is missing here, and it's the rear window. Instead, you have this solid panel here. In terms of rear views from the driver's seat, you have to rely on this rear view camera. From a cargo standpoint, even with the sloping roof line, you have a decent amount of space in here. It's pretty deep up to the rear seat, not especially tall, but you can increase the cargo height a bit because of this dual level cargo floor. So you can drop it down, get a little bit more cargo height. So it's workable considering kind of the sleek outside shape that the 4 has. So inside the 4, you have both an instrument screen right in front of you that's kind of slim, like a long phone, and then a really large screen here in the center that's similar to the one you might find in a Tesla Model Y, except this one is running Google Android Automotive. Though it does still have kinda some similar cues that if you've been in a Tesla, you might be familiar with like the air vents you can control from the screen. You can do that too in the Polestar 4. But it has the ability to download different apps that you can then run here too. You get kind of a somewhat traditional console here with cup holders, but there's a huge open storage space below it, which is pretty neat. For putting stuff down low, a good use of space for what they have here. Polestar has taking a little bit of a different approach with materials from what's traditionally considered luxury. A lot of times, you see leather here. It's this really kinda upscale woven fabric on the seats, which we're starting to see as more of an option in EV vehicles, especially. Overall, even with that sloping roof line of the 4, there's decent headroom in this. It does have a fully glass roof, which helps from kind of a headroom standpoint and a decently comfortable driving position too. The back seat of the Polestar 4 is sort of a mixed bag in terms of comfort. There's pretty good headroom considering the roof line's low because of the glass roof line and how far it extends backward. But you are kinda tilted back with the recline of the seat. And the seat cushion is kinda low to the floor, so you do sit with a bit of a knees up position, not a ton of thigh support for taller people, but doesn't feel too claustrophobic or kinda too confining. Decent views out the side window. Don't have any view out the back because of the solid panel there, but a workable space overall. The Polestar 4 will be offered with rear wheel drive with an estimated range of around 300 miles or all-wheel drive with around 270 miles of estimated range. And the all-wheel drive model is the performance option because it has more than 500 horsepower and an estimated zero to 60 time of less than four seconds. The 4 is expected to go on sale with the price in the $60,000 range. And if you'd like to see additional coverage on the Polestar 4, you can see it at cars.com.
