Recently, Polestar confirmed its next step in diversifying its production layout expansion plan. In addition to being produced in Hangzhou Bay, China, Polestar 4 is expected to be put into production in Busan, South Korea from the second half of 2025. Polestar 4 is positioned as a medium-to-large pure electric SUV and has been launched in China. The latest price announced previously is 299,900-399,900 RMB, and delivery will begin in December.
Polestar, Geely Holding Group and Renault Auto Korea have reached an agreement to produce the Polestar 4 for the North American and Korean markets at Renault Auto Korea’s Busan plant. The Busan factory is directly connected to the sea port and has 23 years of automobile manufacturing experience and nearly 2,000 employees. Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath said that with the Polestar 3 going into production in Chengdu, China in early 2024 and South Carolina in the United States in the summer of 2024, Polestar will soon be able to sell its cars in five locations in three countries. The factory launches production operations, which will provide strong support for Polestar’s global growth goals.
Looking back at the appearance of Polestar 4, the car does not use the rectangular grille commonly used in previous Polestar models and becomes simpler. The overall shape is the same as that of Polestar 6. The familiar Thor’s hammer shape has been changed into two sets of L-shaped lights. , the shape is equally sharp. In addition, the front of the car is equipped with a millimeter-wave radar and a 360° panoramic image camera.
Polestar 4 adopts a fastback shape with very smooth side lines. The lower side of the door is decorated in black, making the entire side visually more flatter and longer. The car has a ground clearance of approximately 200mm. The car uses frameless doors and hidden door handles, and the vehicle uses frameless exterior rearview mirrors, which is also a feature found in many models currently on sale at Polestar.
The design of the rear of the car is also relatively simple, using a glyph-shaped through-type taillight. One of the more interesting details is that the vehicle is not equipped with a rear windshield, but instead transmits images directly to the interior rearview mirror through a camera on the top. The car uses 22-inch forged wheels and is also equipped with 4-piston BREMBO brake calipers. The visual effect is very sporty. It is matched with Pirelli P ZERO series tires in size 265/40 R22.
The interior of the car, like other new energy models, looks very simple and refreshing. There are basically no physical buttons except for a knob in the central control. In terms of materials, the vehicle follows the concept of environmental protection. Most of the interiors are made of fabric materials, and the color matching is also very attractive. Simple and elegant, two ambient lights are one of the few decorations. In terms of configuration, the vehicle uses a 9-inch LCD instrument panel, and the UI design is very simple. The central control screen adopts a horizontal screen design, and the system is based on the Meizu car system, but the UI is designed by Polestar itself.
In terms of power, the new car will have a single motor version and a dual motor version. The single motor version has a maximum power of 200kW and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds. The dual-motor version has a maximum power of 400kW and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds. The battery capacity is available in 86kWh and 100kWh, and the CTLC range of all models is between 620-755km.
