The one factor sure is that they are going to discuss it.

Let’s Record All of the Peculiarities

Polestar calls its fourth product an “SUV Coupe.” Many automakers — notably European luxurious manufacturers — have taken to designing so-called SUV coupes. They’ve 4 doorways and trip excessive like SUVs however have the low-slung, aerodynamic strains of sportier coupes. Assume BMW X4 and Audi Q5 Sportback.
The Polestar 4 is probably the coupiest of them, sitting low sufficient to the bottom to name the “SUV” half into query.
Its most uncommon trait, although, is its rear window. It lacks one.
You see what’s behind you due to a roof-mounted digital camera. Polestar says it permits “a far wider subject of view in contrast to what’s present in most fashionable automobiles.” KBB’s Colin Ryan has pushed it and says the impact works effectively, and means rear-seat passengers don’t present up in your mirror view.
The design is in any other case smooth, with a needle-nose profile (for a crossover, in case you’re keen to stipulate that it counts as one) and hammerhead headlights.
Minimalist Cabin, Received’t Skimp on Energy
Polestar cabins are all tasteful Swedish minimalism, accented by good gold seatbelts. The Polestar 4 will get a 15.4-inch portrait-mounted touchscreen that handles most infotainment and luxury capabilities, Tesla-style.
A couple of steering wheel buttons maintain you from tapping the display for all the pieces whereas driving.
The 4 will are available two energy ranges. A single-motor rear-wheel-drive (RWD) model makes 272 horsepower and will get from zero to 60 mph in a good 6.9 seconds.
