The flagship of the Polestar 4 range is the Longe Range Dual Motor which kicks off at just under $90,000 - slipping in under the Luxury Car Tax threshold.

Interestingly, both the Single Motor and Dual Motor share the same standard features list. The difference is with the powertrain, and with some options packs that include things like fancy Nappa leather - but it is sustainably sourced.

The Long Range Dual Motor has a motor on each axle for all-wheel-drive grip, and the power and torque is bumped to 400kW and 686Nm respectively. You’ll get to 100km/h in just 3.8 seconds.

Range in the Dual Motor drops to 590km and efficiency sits between 18.7 and 21.7kWh/100km.

As with the Single Motor, the Dual Motor comes standard with Android Automotive operating system, Google Built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, an eight-speaker audio system, a 15.4-inch multimedia display, solar system-inspired ambient lighting, eight-way power driver’s seat and six-way powered passenger seat, 20-inch aero wheels and the camera-based interior mirror that replaces the rear windscreen. 

It also gets a healthy list of standard safety gear.

Managing Editor

Calling out the make and model of every single car he saw as a toddler might have challenged his parents’ patience, but it was clearly a starting point for Tim Nicholson’s journey into automotive journalism. Tim started his journalism career as a staff writer for the Australian Open tennis tournament in 2011, completing an internship as part of his Master of Arts (Media and Communications) at Swinburne University. Tim followed his passion for all things automotive by launching the program, Fender Bender, on community radio station JOY 94.9. This led to an entry role at industry publication GoAuto, before eventually holding the role of Managing Editor. A stint as RACV’s Motoring Editor – including a year as an Australia’s Best Cars judge – provided a different perspective to automotive media, before leading him to CarsGuide where he started as a Contributing Journalist in September 2021, and transitioned to Senior Editor in April 2022, before becoming Managing Editor in December 2022.
