Announcing its new electric car in 2023, Polestar made its North American debut at the New York International Auto Show this week. Visitors had the opportunity to closely examine the Polestar 4, which attracted great attention and also caused controversy. Let’s take a look at the features and price of the Polestar 4, which arouses curiosity in minds.
Polestar 4 features and price have been announced!
Polestar 4, which was launched for the first time at the New York International Auto Show, attracts attention with its exterior appearance at first glance. Slightly smaller and more affordable than the Polestar 3, the company’s newest electric car has a slightly more pointed and sloping nose. It also lacks a front wing like the Polestar 3. It retains the still very popular low coupe shape. This model, which attracts attention at first glance, continues to show off its features.
But as we know, Polestar has completely abandoned the rear window. The reason for this is to provide a more comfortable and spacious space for the passengers in the back seat. The rear window has been replaced by simple metal sheets, cameras and a rearview mirror with an embedded screen. With no rear window, Polestar was able to push the rear seats further back while maintaining ample headroom despite the sloping roofline that creates a spacious cabin.
Launch visitors who had the opportunity to experience the Polestar 4 shared their experiences, saying that despite all this, they had no problems getting in and out of the car, and that there was still enough legroom in the back, even though the front seats were pushed far back.
“We have gained many advantages thanks to this design change,” said Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar, who seemed to be intrigued by the visitors who had the opportunity to experience the advantages first-hand.
How much can all these advantages cost?
Although the initial cost for Polestar’s new darling, whose price is a matter of great curiosity, is around 60 thousand dollars, the launch prices are of course a little lower than that. The launch price for the standard, long-range single-engine version with a range of around 300 miles (482 km) starts at $56,000, while the twin-engine AWD version with a range of around 270 miles (434.52288 km) starts at $64,000.
CEO Ingenlath’s opinion on the price range is as follows: “We see the Polestar 4 as a more accessible but still very premium offering among electric cars.”
The features of the Polestar 4 are numerous, but it is also said to feel like a designer car. This is because the company pays attention to small details like fonts and typography. This can be seen in the text on the driver’s side door, which features both the name of the car and the battery size, a label that is both elaborate and informative.
It is also interesting to note that Polestar offers a feature such as ambient lighting, using a naming standard based on the planets of the solar system as an alternative for the interior design.
CEO Ingenlath supports their design with the following words:
“A lot is said about psychology and how people are naturally averse to change. But innovation is about asking what are the rules of the past that don’t need to be the rules of the future. That’s why we love what we do and we love doing it with passion. So we need to find people who share the same passion for this kind of quality and technology.”
All in all, it’s clear that Polestar has carved out a niche for itself with its innovative vision. With its launch in April and deliveries scheduled for Q4 2024, its suitors will soon be able to experience what the Polestar 4 feels like on the road.
