Polestar 4, another bright light in the Swedish company’s firmament, is an SUV coupé that majors on style, technology and sustainability
One aspect of the design carried over from the concept is the complete absence of a rear window. Instead, a camera relays a view on a hi-def screen in place of the rear-view mirror . This allows for more space in the rear, with reclining seats, and a customisable ambient lighting system. A full-length glass roof comes as standard.
Other interior innovations include the extensive use of recycled materials in the interior, where many of the key surfaces and components have been made from the same base material . For example, the seats have a tailored knit made from 100 per cent recycled polyester, developed in collaboration with the Swedish School of Textiles . Floor carpets are made from materials including reclaimed fishing nets and natural fibre polypropylene is used in the door trims.
The fastest car built by the company to date, thanks to a 102 kWh battery and the 400kW output of the dual motor version, which reaches 62mph in 3.8 seconds. Projected range for the long-range model is 372 miles, with ultra-fast 200kW charging available. The Polestar 4 will also provide power to external devices and there’s an onboard heat pump to help precondition the cabin and battery.
Onboard information is provided by Google’s Android Automotive OS, and a large landscape screen provides mapping data and other systems. Google Assistant and Play are also built in, with the latter putting sounds through an optional Harman Kardon audio system. Apple CarPlay is also included. The Polestar 4 bristles with sensors, including a total of twelve cameras, twelve ultrasonic sensors and a radar system. The head-up display even has a ‘snow mode’, which uses yellow graphics instead of white to improve visibility. The sensors come into their own with the optional Pilot Pack, which includes features like lane change assistance and other sensor driven driving functions.
