Polestar 4: electric coupe SUV, battery and what to expect
Polestar 4 — electric coupe-style SUV without a rear window, launched in 2024. We review the versions, battery, range and what you need to know when buying a used Polestar 4.
Polestar 4 in brief
The Polestar 4 is an electric car that stands out with its coupe-style roofline and lack of a rear window. The rear-view camera displays the view on the screen where the rear-view mirror usually is.
Thanks to this concept, the interior feels wider, and the boot is quite spacious. On the other hand, some drivers accustomed to rear-view mirrors may take time to adjust to the screen.
Which version to choose
Two main versions are offered: Long range Single motor with one rear motor and Long range Dual motor with two motors and all-wheel drive. Additional packages like Plus, Pro or Performance are also available.
The Single motor is more economical and cheaper, while the Dual motor offers significantly more powerful acceleration. The former is suitable for daily use, the latter for those who value dynamics and challenging driving conditions.
Battery, power and charging
The Polestar 4 has around a 100 kWh battery (around 94 kWh usable). The Single motor version has around 272 hp, while the Dual motor has around 544 hp. The WLTP range can reach around 600 km, but the real-world range is lower.
The car can be charged from a home socket and with a fast DC charger. The fast charging capacity is quite high, making it suitable for longer journeys.
What to check when buying a used Polestar 4
Request a battery health report and check the software version. Also, verify that the rear-view camera and screen are working.
Test all screen functions — much of the control is done via the touchscreen. Check the charging port and cables.
Verify the current warranty, as the model is new and covered by the manufacturer's terms.

The manufacturer specifies up to around 600 km according to WLTP. The real range depends on speed, weather, and driving style.
Is the Polestar 4 part of the same group as Volvo?
