  • Uses a 100 kWh lithium-ion battery with an 800-volt electrical architecture.
  • Dual-motor model offers an estimated driving range of approximately 410-434 km (WLTP equivalent discussed by reviewers), with real-world winter range noticeably lower.
  • Supports DC fast charging up to 200 kW, allowing approximately 10–80% charging in about 30 minutes.
  • AC Level 2 charging requires roughly 11 hours for a full recharge.

  • Single-motor model produces approximately 200 kW (272 hp) with a slower but efficient driving character.
  • Performance model includes Brembo brakes, adaptive dampers with multiple suspension modes, and adjustable regenerative braking, including one-pedal driving.
  • Reviewers consistently praised the quiet cabin, stable handling, accurate steering, and balanced ride, although the Performance model can feel firmer over rough pavement.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Polestar 4 is officially described as an electric SUV coupe, but its body style sits between several categories. Reviewers generally considered the Polestar 4 closer to a raised fastback sedan than a conventional SUV because of its low roofline, car-like seating position, wide body, and road-focused handling. It provides more ground clearance and interior space than a typical sedan but less vertical cargo capacity than a traditional electric SUV.
The Polestar 4 price in Canada starts at CAD 64,900 for the Single Motor RWD. The Dual Motor AWD costs CAD 69,900, while the Dual Motor Performance AWD is priced at CAD 82,500. Optional paint, equipment packages, larger wheels, upgraded upholstery, and performance components can increase the final Polestar 4 price considerably.
The Polestar 4 electric range is 482 km for the Single Motor RWD, 434 km for the Dual Motor AWD, and 410 km for the Dual Motor Performance AWD. Reviewers noted that actual Polestar 4 range depends on temperature, speed, climate-control use, wheel size, driving style, and powertrain. Cold-weather testing produced noticeably lower estimates than the official ratings.
Every Polestar 4 trim uses a 100 kWh battery. The Polestar 4 is based on a 400-volt electrical architecture and supports configurable charging limits, scheduled home charging, route planning, and energy-use displays. Several reviewers considered the battery large for the available range, particularly in the more powerful dual-motor versions.
The Polestar 4 charging time is approximately 30 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger, generally referring to a 10–80% charge under suitable conditions. A complete charge using a Level 2 home charger takes approximately 11 hours. Reviewers considered the Polestar 4 charging performance acceptable, although some newer 800-volt electric vehicles can charge more quickly.
The Polestar 4 Single Motor RWD produces 200 kW and 343 Nm, reaching 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds. The Polestar 4 Dual Motor AWD develops 400 kW and 686 Nm and completes 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. The Polestar 4 Dual Motor Performance AWD has the same output and torque but is listed at 4.0 seconds. All versions have a 200 km/h top speed.
The Polestar 4 driving experience is generally quiet, stable, and car-like rather than SUV-like. Reviewers praised its immediate acceleration, secure traction, controlled cornering, and adjustable regenerative braking. Versions with adaptive dampers offer distinct suspension settings, although the firmer configurations and larger wheels can produce more body movement or a slightly harsher ride on uneven roads.
The Polestar 4 has no conventional rear window because the design uses a roof-mounted camera and digital rear-view mirror instead. Removing the glass allowed Polestar to extend the roof and reposition the rear structure, contributing to generous second-row space. Some reviewers adjusted quickly to the Polestar 4 digital mirror, while others disliked relying entirely on a camera or found the rear cabin darker and more enclosed.
The Polestar 4 technology package includes a large Android Automotive-based touchscreen, Google Maps, Google voice functions, wireless Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument display, 360-degree cameras, wireless phone charging, configurable one-pedal driving, and over-the-air software capability. The Polestar 4 infotainment system was generally described as responsive, but many basic controls—including the air vents, mirrors, steering column, glovebox, and climate settings—are operated through the screen.
The Polestar 4 interior provides generous front and rear legroom, good rear headroom, reclining rear seatbacks, available heated rear seats, rear climate and media controls, USB-C ports, and space for a child seat. The Polestar 4 cargo area is useful and includes underfloor storage, but the sloping roof reduces vertical capacity. Reviewers also noted the very small front trunk, lack of cargo-area rear-seat releases, and absence of a household-style power outlet.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Polestar 4 Dual Motor AWD produces 400 kW and 686 Nm, completing 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Reviewers consistently described its acceleration as immediate and forceful, while the Performance version adds Brembo brakes and more performance-focused suspension tuning.
The Polestar 4 combines stable cornering, strong traction and a planted road feel. Its adaptive dampers provide noticeably different settings, allowing drivers to choose between a softer ride and firmer body control. Several reviewers considered its handling better than that of many similarly priced electric crossovers.
Road, wind and tyre noise are generally well controlled, giving the Polestar 4 a refined highway driving experience. The ride is smooth in its softer suspension setting, although larger wheels and firmer modes reduce comfort on broken pavement.
Reviewers praised the sturdy construction, supportive seats, contrasting materials and uncluttered Scandinavian design. Available heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, an electrochromic panoramic roof and extensive ambient lighting strengthen the Polestar 4 interior experience.
Removing the conventional rear window allowed Polestar to extend the passenger compartment and preserve headroom beneath the sloping roof. The Polestar 4 rear seats provide good legroom, reclining backrests, dedicated climate and media controls, heated seats and illuminated USB-C ports.
The Google-based Polestar 4 infotainment system offers integrated Google Maps, voice commands, wireless Apple CarPlay, navigation information in the driver display and numerous configurable shortcuts. Reviewers generally found the main screen responsive and logically organised.
The Polestar 4 Single Motor RWD provides the longest rated range at 482 km, while the Dual Motor AWD and Performance AWD offer 434 km and 410 km, respectively. All versions use a 100 kWh battery, support approximately 30-minute Level 3 charging, and require about 11 hours on Level 2 charging.

Cons:

The Polestar 4 digital rear-view mirror provides a wide and unobstructed camera image, but some drivers dislike relying completely on a camera. Reviewers and owners also mentioned the adjustment required when refocusing between the road and the nearby display, while some rear passengers found the cabin darker or slightly claustrophobic.
Climate functions, air-vent direction, mirror adjustment, steering-column adjustment and even the glovebox release depend on screen menus. The Polestar 4 touchscreen is responsive, but completing basic adjustments while driving can take more attention than using physical switches.
Although the Canadian ratings reach 482 km, several reviewers reported much lower predicted or achieved range in cold weather, particularly with the Dual Motor model. The 100 kWh battery is also relatively large for the available range, making Polestar 4 efficiency less competitive than some rivals.
Owner discussions mention profile-recognition problems, screen or app glitches, inaccurate speed-limit recognition and inconsistent phone-key or key-fob detection. These reports are not universal, but software reliability remains a recurring Polestar 4 ownership concern.
Canadian prices range from CAD 64,900 to CAD 82,500, and additional packages can raise the final price considerably. The Polestar 4 also has a very small front trunk, no household-style cargo outlet, no cargo-area rear-seat releases and less vertical luggage space than a conventional electric SUV.
