The Polestar 4 will be available in both single- and dual-motor layouts, catering to diverse preferences. The dual-motor version boasts an impressive 536 bhp and 506 lb-ft of torque, propelling the crossover from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds and making it the brand's quickest model. The long-range, single-motor variant, powering the rear wheels, delivers 268 bhp and 253 lb-ft of torque.

Equipped with a 100 kWh battery, both long-range versions promise exceptional range. The long-range dual-motor version has a preliminary range target of up to 580 km measured by Europe’s WLTP, which corresponds to about 360 miles. Notably, a disconnect clutch optimizes range and efficiency by disengaging the front electric motor when not required.

The long-range single-motor variant targets a preliminary range of up to 610 km WLTP (380 miles). Both versions offer up to 200 kW DC and 22 kW AC charging, with a motorised charge lid. Additionally, bi-directional charging hardware with vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality is planned for future integration, allowing external devices to draw power from the Polestar 4. The model’s starting price of £59,990 on the UK market is for the single-motor. Below is the full pricing information: 

Produced in Geely Holdings' SEA factory in Hangzhou Bay, China, the Polestar 4 benefits from green electricity and a higher use of low-carbon aluminium from hydropower sources, contributing to a reduced climate impact.
