The 2025 Polestar 4: A New Addition to the Windup Family
Polestar has officially added a new family member to its lineup, and it's one packing a serious punch with super sharp styling and potentially controversial aspect as it relates to the rear window. The new addition is the 2025 Polestar 4, which is part of the series of high-riding sedans that are also quasi-SUVs.
The Polestar 4 is one of the best-looking in this bunch, with an electric Fastback SUV design that's got the right looks. However, there's a twist - it doesn't have a rear window. Instead, the car gets a rear view mirror that displays a high-definition picture of what's going on behind the car. Polestar claims that the viewing angle delivers a wider field of view compared to other vehicles, and if you don't want to see what's happening behind the vehicle, you can turn off the display and see what your kids are doing in the back seat.
This lack of a rear window allows Polestar to put a panoramic roof overhead that stretches farther back past the heads of rear-seat passengers. This should provide a nice airy feeling when sitting in the back seats. Additionally, customers can click on an options box when ordering the car to select the optional electrochromic functionality for the roof, which allows them to adjust the amount of light coming through.
Speaking of interior space, Polestar continues to deliver on its quest for more sustainable production methods and material use. The new model features a tailored knit textile made from 100% recycled plastic, as well as Animal Welfare Secured Napa leather. The carpets are also made from recycled materials that include PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate), which is derived from reclaimed fishing nets.
The sound system in the Polestar 4 is another notable feature. Although it's not made from recycled materials, it's constructed from aciconium, a material employed by Harman Kardon to deliver an optional 16 speaker setup with 1400 watts of power. When it comes to power, Polestar claims that this new model is their quickest production vehicle yet. Under the skin, it has a 102-kilowatt-hour battery pack, which is the gross figure (not net) paired with either a single motor for the rear-wheel drive model or a dual-motor setup for the all-wheel-drive version.
The single-motor Polestar 4 delivers an impressive 272 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque. This should provide more than 300 miles on a charge, making it an attractive option for those who prioritize range. However, the dual-motor version is where things get really exciting, with 544 horsepower and 506 pound-feet of torque. This model can accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds.
When it comes to charging speeds, the Polestar 4 can handle up to 200 kilowatt charging speeds. There's also a 22-kilowatt onboard charger that ensures the battery is ready to juice up at the best charging speeds. Furthermore, this new model is capable of bi-directional charging, which allows it to recharge other devices or even provide energy back to the grid.
Safety features are another area where the Polestar 4 excels. The car is fitted with 12 cameras, a radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, providing an impressive level of driver safety tech. With the optional Pilot Pack, customers can enjoy a good level of hands-free capability, including the ability to have the car handle lane changes with the tap of an indicator.
Finally, there's a performance pack available for those who prefer more hands-on driving enjoyment. This adds 22-inch wheels, four-piston Brembo brakes, Polestar chassis tuning, and those wonderful pops of Swedish gold trim on the brake calipers, seat belts, and valve caps. With all these features, it's no wonder that the 2025 Polestar 4 is expected to arrive in North America sometime later in 2024 as a 2025 model year vehicle, with a starting price of around $60,000.
