Polestar 4 prices revealed: $27,700 cheaper than Polestar 3

While the automotive world eagerly anticipates the official release of Polestar's new electric vehicle, we now get to learn how much it will cost. Polestar 4, perplexingly, positions itself smack in between the Polestar 2 and the more expensive Polestar 3.

The Polestar 4 will carry a starting price tag of nearly $72,100. And while it's more expensive than the Polestar 2 by about $15,100, it saves you a hefty amount when compared to the starting price of the Polestar 3, which is more than $27,700 pricier than the Polestar 4.

For those who fancy the base Long Range Single Motor variant of the Polestar 4, you're looking at $70,500. With preparation costs (based on the costs for the Polestar 2 and 3), the real-world price amounts to $71,900. The Long Range Dual Motor model is going to be $80,800.

The Single Motor Polestar 4 provides a decent 272 hp and 253 lb-ft to the rear wheels. You can hit the 62 mph mark in a reasonable 7.1 seconds, eventually topping out at 124 mph. The battery, with a net capacity of 94 kWh (gross: 102 kWh) promises 373 miles of range. Fast charging with up to 200 kW is on the menu.

The Dual Motor offers 544 hp and a torque of 506 lb-ft. With this power, reaching 62 mph is a breeze at just 3.8 seconds. The range takes a slight dip to 350 miles, but it's hardly a deal-breaker.

Polestar 4, inspired by the 2020 Precept Concept, doesn't follow the SUV trend like its sibling, the Polestar 3. Instead, it's a low-sitting, five-door liftback that runs on the SPA platform developed collaboratively by Volvo and Geely. With dimensions measuring 190.55 inches in length and 60.63 inches in height, it's a tad larger than the Polestar 2.

A head-turning feature? The absence of a rear window. Instead, it utilizes a camera atop its tailgate to grant drivers a peek of the road behind. It offers generous 17.7 ft³ of trunk space, which expands to 54.2 ft³ when rear seats are folded. Don't forget the 0.53 ft³ compartment in the front, though it's admittedly a tight squeeze.

Owners will relish in the 20-inch alloys, active suspension, adaptive cruise control, a 15.4-inch infotainment screen, electrically adjustable and heated front seats, and even a 360-degree camera.

Polestar is prepping to launch more tantalizing models soon. Both the Polestar 4 and 3 are slated for 2024 releases, with other exciting EVs like the Polestar 5 and Polestar 6 in the works.
