Cars are quickly changing to electric power, and Polestar is a leader in this change. The 2025 Polestar 4 is a cool and new addition to their cars, made to look like a sporty SUV but still useful like one. This new model has a surprising main feature: it doesn’t have a normal back window.
Design and New Ideas
Polestar has always made cars with interesting designs, and the 4 is no different. Its low roof and strong look make it seem like a sporty car, while its higher ground and roomy inside show it’s also like an SUV. But the most talked-about design is definitely the missing back window. Instead, Polestar uses a clear camera on the roof that shows what’s behind you on the inside screen. Polestar says this new idea gives people in the back more headroom and lets you see more clearly behind you, without heads or a slanted roof getting in the way. It might feel strange at first, but this modern feature shows that Polestar is serious about new ideas.
The inside of the Polestar 4 keeps Polestar’s simple but fancy style. Nice, Earth-friendly materials are used everywhere, making a calm and classy feel. A big, wide 15.4-inch screen is in the middle, running an updated Google system with Google apps and wireless Apple CarPlay. People in the back have lots of legroom and seats that can lean back with buttons, making them even more comfy. An optional glass roof that covers the whole top makes the inside feel bigger, and it can even change from clear to dark with the touch of a button.
How It Drives and How Far It Can Go
The 2025 Polestar 4 comes with two engine choices: one motor driving the back wheels, or two motors driving all the wheels. Both use a 100 kWh battery.
- Long Range Single Motor: This version makes 200 kW (272 hp) of power. It can go from 0 to 100 km/h in about 7.1 seconds and can travel up to 620 km on a full charge, making it good for long trips.
- Long Range Dual Motor: The all-wheel-drive version is much more powerful, with a total of 400 kW (544 hp). It can go from 0 to 100 km/h very quickly, in just 3.8 seconds. The distance it can travel is a bit less, up to 590 km.
Both types can use fast chargers up to 200 kW, which can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes. A regular 11 kW charger for home use is standard, and you can choose a faster 22 kW one.
Technology and Things It Has
The Polestar 4 has lots of modern technology and many standard and optional features, including:
- Digital Rear-View Mirror: Uses a clear camera to show you what’s behind the car.
- Advanced Driving Helpers: Including cruise control that adjusts to traffic, help staying in your lane, alerts for cars in your blind spot, and automatic emergency braking. You can also choose a “Pilot Pack” that adds help changing lanes and keeping the car centered in the lane.
- Entertainment System: A 15.4-inch screen in the middle with Google built in, Google Maps, the Google app store, and wireless Apple CarPlay. You can also choose a high-quality Harman Kardon sound system with up to 16 speakers.
- Updates Over the Air: The car’s computer can get new software and features automatically.
- Two-Way Charging: The car can not only take power but also give it to other things.
- Customizable Inside Lights: With themes based on the solar system and an optional shiny light strip.
- Comfort Features: Including seats that can heat up in the front and back (optional), back seats that can lean back with buttons (optional), a steering wheel that can heat up (optional), and a trunk that opens automatically without using your hands (optional).
Price and When You Can Get It
The price of the 2025 Polestar 4 depends on where you live and which version you choose. In the United States, the single-motor version starts at around $56,300, and the dual-motor version starts at about $64,300. You can also choose extra packages with more features, like the Pilot Pack and Plus Pack (which adds things like a Harman Kardon sound system, a display on the windshield, and heated back seats).
They started making the Polestar 4 in China in late 2023, and they expect to start selling it in Europe and Australia in 2024. They plan to start making it in North America, in South Korea, in 2025. Cars for the US might have extra taxes at first because they are imported.
In Conclusion
The 2025 Polestar 4 is an exciting electric car that tries new things. Its cool design, especially the new back camera system, makes it stand out. With a roomy and fancy inside, good performance, and a decent driving range, the Polestar 4 is a strong competitor in the high-end electric SUV market. While not having a normal back window might seem strange to some, it shows that Polestar is thinking ahead and willing to change how cars are made to improve design and usefulness. As Polestar sells more cars around the world, the 4 is likely to be an important model for their electric future.
