The 2026 Polestar 4 is officially on sale in the United States with a starting price of $56,400, marking a significant milestone for the Swedish electric vehicle manufacturer. First customer deliveries are expected to begin this fall, bringing the brand’s innovative SUV coupe to American roads after successful launches in other global markets.
Revolutionary Design Meets Performance
The Polestar 4 stands out in the crowded electric SUV market with its distinctive coupe-like silhouette and most notably, the absence of a rear window. Instead, the vehicle employs a digital rearview mirror system that provides enhanced visibility. This bold design choice allows for more generous rear-seat legroom as designers pushed the rear seats back further in the cabin.
Powertrain Options and Specifications
The Polestar 4 offers two distinct powertrain configurations to meet varying customer preferences. The long-range single motor variant delivers 272 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, with a targeted EPA range of up to 300 miles. For performance enthusiasts, the Long Range Dual Motor version produces 544 horsepower and 506 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, making it the fastest Polestar production vehicle to date.

Production and Delivery Timeline
Production for North American customers of the 2026 Polestar 4 is expected to begin in South Korea this summer, followed by initial customer deliveries this fall. This represents a strategic shift from the originally planned Chinese production facility, as the 2026 Polestar 4 EVs will be built in Busan, South Korea.
Pricing and Package Options
Beyond the base models, Polestar offers several enhancement packages. The Pilot Pack costs $1,500 extra for single-motor versions and is standard on dual-motor trims, adding Pilot Assist and Lane Change Assist. The Plus Pack costs $5,500 and includes features like a head-up display, 12-way front seats, three-zone climate control, and a Harman Kardon premium audio system.
Advanced Technology Integration
The interior features Google’s Android Automotive OS with Google built-in apps and services, allowing Polestar to work with Google to develop and release new features for the system. The vehicle also incorporates sustainable materials, with 85% of the vehicle being recyclable, using MicroTech upholstery made from bio-attributed vinyl derived from pine oil.
Market Position and Competition
Even with its pricing, the 2025 Polestar 4 AWD is much cheaper than similarly sized all-electric luxury SUVs—fully $16,495 less than the Porsche Macan 4 Electric ($80,795) and $14,750 less than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 4Matic ($79,050). This competitive positioning makes the Polestar 4 an attractive option for luxury EV buyers.
