The Polestar 4 is an electric SUV coupe. The model reviewed is the Long Range Single Motor base model in snow white. The car is long, high, and wide. It comes with a 94 kWh usable battery. AC charging up to 11 kW is possible, with up to 22 kW with an optional pack. It has a huge glass roof, cameras, and frameless mirrors and doors, it has split design LED headlights, and an illuminated front logo. In the rear, there is a full-width light bar, and non-illuminated logo. The key has no buttons. The car is activated by ‘butt control’, there is no start button. It has a bulky but sporty steering wheel, a head-up display, and a driver monitoring camera. The pilot assist combines active steer assist with adaptive cruise control, but it is not usable on roads without clear side lines. Speed limit indications are wrong much of the time. There are buttons to control Pilot Assist, and to talk or switch dashboard views. Side mirror and steering wheel position need to be set in the center display, since there are no dedicated buttons. The glove box and climate vents are controlled from the center screen. The car has heated seats and steering wheel, door panels in fabric, a wireless charging tray, double cup holders and center storage with two more USB-C ports. The car reaches 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds, and has a top speed limited to 200 km/h. The single motor version sends 272hp to the rear wheels. This reviewer states that the rear seats are very comfortable with great head and leg room. It gets 19.8 kwh/100km but dropped to 17.5kwh/100km when doing just secondary roads. This is a real range of about 500 km. It also has a handy kick-to-open trunk, tire fixing kit, subwoofer, cargo hooks and a grocery hook.
