Geely-owned Polestar has launched the Polestar 4 SUV, a new variant of its performance car with ‘greater versatility and capability, while staying true to the design, technology and driving experience that define Polestar 4 (described as a ‘coupe’).

Polestar 4 SUV builds on the exterior design of Polestar 4 coupe, but with added ‘practicality’. It also comes with a rear glass window (absent on the coupe).
All Polestar 4 SUV vehicles are manufactured in Busan, South Korea, where production started in the second quarter of 2026. The first customer deliveries are planned for the fourth quarter of 2026.
Positioned in the compact executive SUV segment, the Polestar 4 SUV features a redesigned rear end with a straighter roofline and more upright tailgate. Full-length roof rails further enhance practicality, the brand says, increasing dynamic roof load capacity to 100 kg.
Polestar has five models in its line-up: Polestar 2, Polestar 3, Polestar 4 coupe, Polestar 4 SUV, and Polestar 5. Planned models include the Polestar 2 successor (to be launched in 2027), Polestar 7 compact SUV (to be introduced in 2028) and the Polestar 6 roadster. With its vehicles currently manufactured on two continents, North America and Asia, Polestar plans to diversify its manufacturing footprint further, with production of Polestar 7 planned in Europe.
Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, said: “Polestar 4 SUV broadens the appeal of our most successful model and extends our product offering in one of the industry’s most important segments. With more space, more utility and more opportunities for adventure, it stays true to the design, technology and driving experience that define Polestar. Production has started in Busan, South Korea, and the first shipment of cars is on the way to our customers.”
The interior follows the same design philosophy as the Polestar 4 coupe, carrying over its ‘minimalist and technology-focused character’. Inspired by the solar system, ambient illumination allows occupants to tailor the cabin atmosphere through ‘a selection of cosmic themes’.
The digital experience is anchored by a recognisable landscape-oriented centre display and driver display, creating an intuitive environment for all occupants. User-friendliness has been further enhanced with an increased number of widget shortcuts on the main display, rising from six to nine, alongside a broader selection of available shortcut functions.
The interior experience is rounded off with a Harman Kardon Premium Sound system available as an option, with 12 speakers and 1,400-Watt channel-hybrid amplifier. The system has been specifically tuned for the Polestar 4 SUV variant.
Interior materials have been selected with sustainability and traceability in mind. Standard bio-attributed MicroTech features a backing made from 100% recycled PET and a PVC surface containing 53% bio-attributed content. Optional Tailored Knit upholstery is made from 89% recycled PET and is 3D-knitted to minimise production waste. Bridge of Weir Nappa leather is a chrome-free by-product of the food industry that meets strict animal welfare standards and is fully traceable to its origin.
Polestar 4 SUV also opens the rear vision-field towards the tailgate with a rear window and is equipped with a conventional rear-view mirror as standard. Customers who want a wider field-of-view and unobstructed visibility with the luggage compartment fully loaded can still chose the digital rear-view mirror that launched with Polestar 4 coupé, available as an option.
A major shift between the two Polestar 4 siblings is most apparent from the second-row seats, where the more upright design of the SUV’s rear end offers an extra 2.5 centimetres of headroom to the already spacious Polestar 4 cabin. There is also a new and larger panoramic glass roof, with the Polestar logo in black-off, mounted as standard. The full-length glass surface is tailored to the redesigned rear of the Polestar 4 SUV and stretches all the way back to the tailgate.
Beyond the 99.5% UV protection provided by the standard glass roof, the optional electrochromic glass roof, unique to Polestar 4 SUV, further reduces glare through an electrically dimmable laminated glass layer. Occupants can control light transmission via the centre display, choosing between fully transparent, fully tinted, or selectively shaded sections.
Built on the same SEA architecture as the Polestar 4 coupé, the Polestar 4 SUV is offered with a choice of two powertrains. The Dual motor all-wheel drive version delivers 400 kW (544 hp) and 686 Nm of torque, enabling 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.9 seconds and up to 600 km of WLTP range. The Rear motor variant combines 200 kW (272 hp) and 343 Nm of torque with up to 630 km of WLTP range, while accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 7.3 seconds.
A large 100 kWh battery comes standard across the range, supporting DC charging of up to 200 kW and AC charging of up to 22 kW in selected markets.
Polestar 4 SUV shares the same chassis specification as the recently updated Polestar 4 coupe and has been tuned to ‘combine comfort and refinement for everyday use and long-distance travel with the responsive handling, steering precision and driving engagement that active drivers expect from a Polestar’.
Pricing
Polestar 4 SUV starts at EUR 57,900 for Rear motor variants and at EUR 65,900 for Dual motor variants. Polestar 4 SUV with Performance pack is available from EUR 76,300 (German base prices excl. handover fees, including VAT).
