Should You Preorder a Polestar 4? Detailed Walkaround Review of The Macan EV Rival

Detailed review walkaround of the 2024 Polestar 4, including price, features, interior, range, efficiency and more. Chasing Cars’ Tom Place takes a deep dive into the new Polestar 4 that’s landed in Australia ahead of the electric midsize coupe-SUV newcomer’s launch in August. Our example is the white-hot Long Range Dual Motor version that offers 400kW and 686Nm total system outputs promising 3.8-second 0-100km/h performance and up to 580kms of range WLTP on a single charge. Priced from $93,050 list, our example fits Plus ($8000) and Performance ($7200) packs that help lift as-test on-road outlay to around $125K, making it more a logical rival for the forthcoming Porsche Macan EV than Tesla’s Model Y. The Polestar 4 also comes in a Long(er) Range Single Motor guise from $81,500 list, halving outputs to 200kW and 343Nm if boosting the outright range claim to 610kms WLTP. Its party trick? There’s no rear windscreen. Instead, rear-viewing is facilitated via a nifty camera system.
