This sleek vehicle boasts a modern design that reflects Polestar&#8217;s commitment to sustainability and innovation.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">In terms of specifications, the <strong>Polestar 4<\/strong> features a robust electric powertrain that delivers exceptional acceleration and efficiency. With multiple battery options available, drivers can expect a range that caters to both urban commuting and longer journeys. The SUV is equipped with advanced safety features and an intuitive infotainment system, ensuring a comfortable and secure driving experience.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"894\" data-end=\"913\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-start=\"914\" data-end=\"924\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"927\" data-end=\"1022\">Brutal shove from the Dual Motor (0-100 km\/h in 3.8 s).<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1025\" data-end=\"1126\">Genuine 500-plus-kilometre touring range in the Single Motor.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1129\" data-end=\"1243\">Cabin feels Ikea-chic rather than Vegas-lounge, and the Google-based infotainment is as intuitive as your phone.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1246\" data-end=\"1306\">Plenty of standard active-safety tech thanks to Volvo DNA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1318\"><\/h4>\n<h4 data-start=\"1308\" data-end=\"1318\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1321\" data-end=\"1410\">Option packs quickly tip the sticker past $100,000.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1471\">Camera mirror takes a few days to retrain your eyeballs.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1544\">Brembo brakes and 22-inch wheels (Performance Pack) harden the ride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1574\">How Much Does It Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1575\" data-end=\"1816\"><strong>Polestar 4<\/strong> Australia price starts at <strong data-start=\"1612\" data-end=\"1637\">$78,500 plus on-roads<\/strong> for the Long Range Single Motor and <strong data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1685\">$88,350<\/strong> for the Dual Motor; load every pack and you stare at roughly <strong>$125,000<\/strong> before driveway costs.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1845\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"2260\">Even base cars carry a full-length glass roof, 20-inch aero wheels, 15.4-inch touchscreen running Android Automotive OS, wireless Apple CarPlay, heat-pump HVAC and an 11-camera ADAS suite. Tick the <strong data-start=\"2044\" data-end=\"2057\">Plus Pack<\/strong> for pixel LED headlights and Harman Kardon audio, or the <strong data-start=\"2115\" data-end=\"2135\">Performance Pack<\/strong> (Dual Motor only) for \u00d6hlins-tuned dampers, 22-inch alloys and Swedish-gold accents.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2274\">Safety<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2597\">With 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a LiDAR-ready roof, the <strong>Polestar 4 SUV<\/strong> aims for a five-star ANCAP score when tested. Standard kit bundles adaptive cruise, lane-centering, blind-spot assist and rear-cross-traffic auto-brake; the rigid SEA architecture and low centre of gravity further boost crash performance.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2599\" data-end=\"2618\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"3032\">Real-world energy use sits around <strong data-start=\"2653\" data-end=\"2670\">18 kWh\/100 km<\/strong> for the Single Motor and <strong data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2713\">21 kWh\/100 km<\/strong> for the Dual. On an average Aussie tariff of 33 c\/kWh you are looking at roughly <strong data-start=\"2795\" data-end=\"2815\">$6.10 per 100 km<\/strong>, about a third of what a similarly quick petrol SUV drinks. Scheduled servicing is largely a cabin-filter check every two years, and <strong>Polestar<\/strong> bundles 3 years of roadside assist.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3093\" data-end=\"3125\">Comparison To Its Competitors<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3127\" data-end=\"3187\">Stack the <strong>Polestar 4<\/strong> up against rivals and it holds its own:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3191\" data-end=\"3305\"><strong data-start=\"3191\" data-end=\"3208\">Tesla Model Y<\/strong>: Slightly cheaper, but the cabin feels more sterile. Polestar\u2019s interior is far more engaging.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3308\" data-end=\"3391\"><strong data-start=\"3308\" data-end=\"3328\">Mercedes EQB\/GLB<\/strong>: More traditional SUV layout, but less range and tech focus.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3394\" data-end=\"3493\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorscout.com.au\/model\/audi-q4_e-tron\"><strong data-start=\"3394\" data-end=\"3412\">Audi Q4 e\u2011tron<\/strong><\/a>: Plush cabin, superb ride, but takes longer to accelerate and limits OTA updates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3495\" data-end=\"3583\">For those after performance and design, the <strong>Polestar\u202f4 SUV<\/strong> strikes a compelling balance.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Unveiling the Future: 2025 Polestar 4 Redefines Electric Performance<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2025 Polestar 4 Review | The car you actually want\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n1QPO6HMNEo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3764\" data-end=\"3780\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3781\" data-end=\"4219\">The <strong>2025 Polestar\u202f4<\/strong> delivers premium coupe\u2011SUV performance wrapped in a clean, tech\u2011savvy package. Sure, the pricing leans toward the higher end, but if your list prioritises agile handling, strong range and cabin quality, without flashing gaudy, this EV should be on your radar. It feels as if <strong>Polestar<\/strong> asked, \u201cWhat if Volvo went electric and stripped the fluff?\u201d The result is refreshingly sharp.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"4221\" data-end=\"4243\">Rating: 8.7\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4244\" data-end=\"4493\">The <strong>Polestar 4<\/strong> scores big for performance, design flair, and long-legged efficiency. A few ergonomic quirks and pricey option packs stop it short of the nines, but for most buyers this is the most balanced EV in the mid-premium bracket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 Polestar 4 is set to make a significant impact in the electric SUV market, combining cutting-edge technology with impressive performance.
