Overview

The vehicle was unveiled in April 2023 at the 2023 Auto Shanghai, as part of Geely's new SEA platform, where it underpins primarily battery electric vehicles, such as the Zeekr 001 and the Volvo EX30. Positioned between the smaller Polestar 2 compact executive liftback and the larger Polestar 3 mid-size luxury crossover, it belongs to the European D-segment size segmentation. Having no rear window, it instead showcases a roof-mounted camera system. Polestar claims it is the fastest production car the brand has made, accelerating from 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) in 3.8 seconds. The 4 is a two-row coupe crossover that has a choice of the rear-wheel drive model where the motor is placed at the rear axle, or the performance all-wheel drive model where the motors are placed at both the front and rear axles. The vehicle became available in Europe, Canada, and the Asia-Pacific from 2023. Equipment. Standard equipment includes the 15.4-inch landscape touchscreen, which runs on Android Automotive, used from the Polestar 2. A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.7-inch head-up display come also standard. A full-length glass roof and a digital rear-view mirror are available, and the interior is made from 100 per cent recycled polyester, according to Polestar. The 4 features 20- to 22-inch wheels, depending on the trim chosen.
