With deliveries already rolling out in China and Europe, Singapore joins the growing list of countries with the new Polestar 4.

The 4 has the minimalist, Scandinavian design language that Polestar is known for, but with a design that harks back to the Polestar Precept concept car, featuring some striking innovations that are sure to turn heads.

The elimination of the rear window is its most prominent feature, and instead, you get an immersive experience for rear passengers, and a cleaner, more futuristic look that embodies Polestar’s forward-thinking ethos.

The Polestar 4 is designed to slice through the air with remarkable efficiency, with its low nose, retractable door handles, and flush glazing with frameless windows. The rear aero blades and optimised airflow around the rear light bar further enhance the car’s sleek, streamlined profile.

With a wheelbase of nearly 3 metres, there’s ample room inside, particularly in the rear, where passengers are treated to a unique cocoon-like environment with reclining seats. And if that wasn’t enough, Polestar’s ambient lighting, inspired by the solar system, allows you to tailor the mood to your liking.

Thanks to the absence of a rear window, the panoramic glass roof extends beyond the rear seats, creating a one-of-a-kind, open-air feel.

And for those concerned about the view, don’t worry, the rear-view mirror is replaced with a high-definition screen, offering a real-time feed from a roof-mounted camera. It’s a feature that provides a far wider field of vision than your traditional mirror setup.

The Polestar 4 is the fastest production car in the brand’s lineup. The Long Range Dual Motor version puts down 544hp, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

For those who prefer a more relaxed, rear-wheel drive experience, the Single Motor variant still delivers an impressive 272hp and a range of up to 620km, according to WLTP standards. Both variants come equipped with a 100kWh battery, and if you’re driving around Singapore, the range should be more than enough to keep range anxiety at bay.

And for Singapore owners, the Pilot and Plus Packs come standard in Singapore, whilst an optional Pro pack is on offer for those who wish to stand out more.

Polestar 4 pricing starts at SGD320,000 for the Single Motor variant and SGD370,000 for the Dual Motor, inclusive of COE.

Test drives are now available at Polestar’s sleek showroom on Leng Kee Road, where you can experience the future of electric mobility for yourself.

The Polestar 2 has been around for some time, and we’ve reviewed both the single motor and dual motor variants. In time to come, the Polestar 4 is set to join the ranks as the company’s second SUV offering in Singapore.

“With Polestar 4 we have taken a fundamentally new approach to SUV coupé design. Rather than simply modifying an existing SUV, giving it a faster roofline and as a result, compromising elements like rear headroom and comfort, we have designed Polestar 4 from the ground up as a new breed of SUV coupé that celebrates rear occupant comfort and experience,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.

The most notable element of the Polestar 4 is the elimination of the rear windscreen. Instead, a giant panoramic sunroof is installed, and a camera feeds the rear-view mirror on the inside.

It’s also built on the premium Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) developed by Geely Holding. The result is an SUV coupe with a large body and 2,999mm long wheelbase, which means more legroom for occupants. Overall length is 4,840 mm, width is 2,139 mm and height is 1,534 mm.

True to the company’s name, Polestar, more celestial bodies are introduced to the interior courtesy of ambient lighting themes. Choose from planets such as Earth, Jupiter and Saturn to change the interior ambient colour scheme to your solar system-based preference.

The interior materials are based on recycled polyester-based knit textiles along with bio-attributed MicroTech vinyl.

Optionally, animal welfare-secured Nappa leather will also be offered, along with ventilation, massage and headrest speakers for the front seats, and rear comfort headrests for the back passengers.

Two colour schemes will also be on offer for the soft-touch interior materials, namely Zinc and Charcoal, and a new colour called Mist. New exterior colours will also be on offer, including Gold, Storm and Electron.

The Polestar 4 also offers a much larger battery pack, to the tune of 100kWh for both Long Range versions. This is right up there with premium and luxury brands’ offerings in the market.

Needless to say, this Swedish SUV coupe has the new electric Porsche Macan firmly in its sights.

The Long-range Dual motor features 544 hp and 686 Nm of torque, with a preliminary WLTP range of up to 590km. A disconnect clutch allows the car to disengage the front electric motor when not needed, to maximise range and efficiency.

The Long-range single-motor version features a 272hp and 343Nm motor at the rear and preliminary WLTP range of up to 620km.

Up to 200 kW DC and 22 kW AC charging is included for both versions, and the charge lid is motorised. Bi-directional charging hardware is also included.

The infotainment system is powered by Android Automotive OS and the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform now utilises a 15.4-inch landscape-oriented screen. Over-the-air updates will keep the infotainment system current, with new features being added when available.

A Harman Kardon audio system with 12 speakers and a 1,400-watt channel-hybrid amplifier comes with the Plus Pack as standard.

Seven airbags are included as standard. Further aiding safety are twelve cameras, one radar and twelve ultrasonic sensors that come standard-fit. This includes a driver monitoring camera, which only relays data and does not record video, to monitor the driver’s eyes and head movements to help avoid incidents related to fatigue or incapacitation.

A 10.2-inch driver display is mounted ahead of the steering column and includes speed, battery and range information. To reduce distraction, a head-up display (HUD) with a 14.7-inch projection area in front of the driver relays key vehicle, telephony and navigation information to the windscreen.

Enhanced Pilot Assist with lane change assist, initiated by the driver tapping the indicator stalk in the desired direction is also available in the Polestar 4 SUV.

The vehicles coming to Singapore will be highly specified, with Pilot and Plus Packs as standard. The optional Pro Pack includes 21-inch wheels and subtle design details such as seat belts with a Swedish gold stripe & valve caps.

For customers looking at the fire-breathing version of the Polestar 4 Long-range Dual motor variant, the optional Performance Pack offers 22-inch rims, four-piston Brembo brakes, Polestar Engineered performance chassis tuning and Swedish gold details for the brakes, seat belts and valve caps.

Indicative pricing, excluding COE, for the single motor variant is from $195,000, and $245,000 for the dual motor version, both as long range models. Deliveries in Singapore are expected to commence from Q3 2024. Contact Polestar Singapore for more information.
