Polestar 4 SUV entered the public eye this week, offering a wagon‑like shape while keeping the same wheelbase as its coupe sibling, a move that could appeal to buyers who want extra cargo space without a longer body.
Design cues blur the line between wagon and crossover
The new model retains the coupe’s footprint, meaning its overall length and wheelbase match the original, but it sits almost an inch taller. A boxier rear end replaces the fastback’s missing rear glass, adding a real window, a spoiler and an integrated wiper.
Side panels and rear doors appear shared between the two bodies; the main visual change lies in the rear quarter windows and the D‑pillar.

Roof rails are rated for a load of up to 220 lb, and a fresh five‑spoke wheel design appears in eight paint options, including “Aurora” and “Ozone”.
Inside, the cabin mirrors the coupe’s layout for front occupants, featuring the same dashboard and infotainment screen. Options include Tailored Knit upholstery and Bridge of Weir Nappa leather, while a tuned 12‑speaker Harman Kardon system is marketed specifically for the larger body.
Under the hood, the vehicle shares the same powertrains as the coupe: a rear‑wheel‑drive version delivers 272 hp and 253 lb‑ft of torque, while a dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive setup reaches 544 hp and 506 lb‑ft. The WLTP range claims up to 391 mi for the RWD version and 373 mi for the AWD model, a modest gain over the coupe.

The 100‑kWh battery can accept fast charging at up to 200 kW, but it does not use the 800‑volt architecture introduced on the Polestar 3. A new vehicle‑to‑load (V2L) function and a “Camping mode” let occupants control entertainment, ambient lighting and power outlets from both front and rear displays.
Optional digital rear‑view mirrors replace a traditional glass unit, a feature that some drivers find surprisingly useful.
Overall, the vehicle blends familiar performance with added practicality, presenting a taller silhouette that still feels like a coupe at heart. Whether that hybrid identity resonates with shoppers remains uncertain, but the design manages to look good while providing a few extra cubic feet of cargo space.
