The Polestar 4 is offered initially in two ‘Long Range’ grades, kicking off with the Single Motor that is rear-wheel drive.
Priced initially in the high-$70k bracket, the Single Motor is more expensive than the likes of the Tesla Model Y, but it is a more premium proposition. It’s more a Kia EV6 or Hyundai Ioniq 5 rival. Maybe even a BMW iX3 competitor.
Inside there’s sustainable materials, but it all looks very high end. It’s definitely a more premium vibe than Tesla can muster and it elevates the brand beyond the Polestar 2.
The Single Motor has one motor driving the rear wheels, and it delivers 200kW of power and 343Nm of torque. That’s enough to help propel it from zero to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds.
It has a healthy EV driving range of up to 620km on the WLTP standard, and energy consumption ranges from 17.8 to 18.1 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometres.
On top of a a solid list of standard safety gear, the Polestar 4 Single Motor comes 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.
But beware - there are expensive options and option packs, some of which should be standard for this price.
