Polestar launches Polestar 4 SUV, a new variant of its performance car with greater versatility and capability, whilestaying true to the design, technology and driving experience that define Polestar 4.
Positioned in the compact executive SUV segment, Polestar 4 SUVpairs the design and refined performance of the updated Polestar 4 coupé with more cargo capacity, enhanced utility features and greater everyday usability, bringing Polestar’s performance DNA to a whole new customer base.
Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, says:
Polestar 4 SUV broadens the appeal of our most successful model and extends our product offering in one of the industry’s most important segments. With more space, more utility and more opportunities for adventure, it stays true to the design, technology and driving experience that define Polestar. Production has started in Busan, South Korea, and the first shipment of cars is on the way to our customers.
Design
Polestar 4 SUV builds on the award-winning exterior design of Polestar 4 coupéwith its sleek body and powerful stance, highlighted in the front by the signature dual blade headlights and the illuminated Polestar logo.
To increase cargo capacity and versatility while reinforcing its SUV character, Polestar 4 SUV features a redesigned rear end with a straighter roofline and more upright tailgate. Full-length roof rails further enhance practicality, increasing dynamic roof load capacity to 100 kg.
In terms of design geometry, the remainder of the body is largely untouched. Only 48 new parts were designed specifically to create the SUV model, a testament to the adaptability of the original design and Polestar’s commitment to efficiency and innovation in its design process.
The interior follows the same design philosophy as the Polestar 4 coupé, carrying over its minimalist and technology-focused character. Inspired by the solar system, ambient illumination allows occupants to tailor the cabin atmosphere through a selection of cosmic themes. Together with the Star Knit decor, the lighting creates a distinctive interior.
The digital experience is anchored by arecognisable landscape-oriented centre display and driver display, creating an intuitive environment for all occupants.User-friendliness has been further enhanced with an increased number of widget shortcuts on the main display, rising from six to nine, alongside a broader selection of available shortcut functions.
The interior experience is rounded off with aHarman Kardon Premium Sound system available as an option, with 12 speakers and 1,400-Watt channel-hybrid amplifier. The system has been specifically tuned for the Polestar 4 SUV variant.
Interior materials have been selected with sustainability and traceability in mind. Standard bio-attributedMicroTech features a backing made from 100% recycled PETand aPVC surface containing 53% bio-attributed content.Optional Tailored Knit upholstery is made from89% recycled PETand is 3D-knitted to minimise production waste. Bridge of Weir Nappa leather is a chrome-free by-product of the food industry that meets strict animal welfare standards and is fully traceable to its origin.
Polestar 4 SUV opens the rear vision-field towards the tailgate with a rear window and is equipped with a conventional rear-view mirror as standard. Customers who want a wider field-of-view and unobstructed visibility with the luggage compartment fully loaded can still chose the digital rear-view mirror that launched with Polestar 4 coupé, available as an option.
A major shift between the two Polestar 4 siblings is most apparent fromthe second-row seats, where the more upright design of the SUV’s rear end offers anextra 2.5 centimetres of headroom to the already spacious Polestar 4 cabin.The airiness is amplified further by anew and larger panoramic glass roof,with the Polestar logo in black-off, mounted as standard.The full-length glass surface is tailored to the redesigned rear of the Polestar 4 SUV and stretches all the way back to the tailgate.
Beyond the 99.5% UV protection provided by the standard glass roof, the optional electrochromic glass roof, unique to Polestar 4 SUV, further reduces glare through an electrically dimmable laminated glass layer.Occupants can control light transmission via the centre display, choosing between fully transparent, fully tinted, or selectively shaded sections.
Polestar 4 SUV offers a total of 1,680 litres of versatile storage, including front and rear luggage compartments.530 litres are available in the rearwhen measured up to the seatbacks, and655 litres when measured up to the inner roof.For transporting larger items, it can conveniently be extended by folding the rear seatbacks (60/40) to offer 1,665 litres of luggage capacity.
