Polestar 4 is a bargain compared to comparable cars in terms of quality, space and performance

[brett]

Have ordered the single motor 200kw due October so eagerly watching all the reviews now the embargo lifted today. So far, positive reviews.. Thanks

[passby]

definitely will take this over all the competitors mentioned. Looks better than all of them and cheaper than the German premium counterparts.

Well done carsales! No stupid click bait title comparing this to the Model Y!

[benjaminsmith]

I would say they are a Swedish brand. They're in the Geely Group umbrella. They're the sports offshoot of Volvo and headquartered very close to Volvo. They also share a good amount of personnel, materials, some development, crash and other testing with Volvo. However, the Polestar 4 is a different vehicle than the 3 as it is based on a Zeekr rather than a Volvo. Manufacture will be in China and South Korea.

[eric-u]

Don't think you can option performance with pro pack as mentioned in the video. Bit pointless anyway since pro pack gives you 21" wheels, gold stripe seatbelt and gold valve cap. The performance pack gives you 22" wheels, gold seat belt, gold valve cap and more.

There is a photochromatic version of the roof for Aus. They’ve confirmed this some time ago.

[JohnSmith-niy]

The Porche Macan EV does not have one pedal driving, one of the best fetures of EVs, so it is easy to beat.

[leifandersen]

It must be cheaper to have a rear window than a camera . Some Evs have cameras instead of rear view mirrors. I prefer a rear window and side rear view mirrors instead of staring into a camera .

[mjr]

I was excited about the Polestar 4 release in Australia, until the prices were announced, very disappointed! Seriously overpriced! ❤ my new ModelY!

[lt]

Stupid title, thumbs down.

Polestar IS a Swedish company and a Swedish brand. Engineered and designed in Sweden.That'ss a fact.

(Oh btw, the SEA platform was also developed in large part by Swedes)

The main owner is Chinese, of course. But you never see titles like "Jaguar - the British/Indian brand" do you?

How come people have such a hard time understanding the difference here?

[electricdiesel]

Then ride the Volvo bus as cheap transit

[kuldipsingh]

It looks ver nice, but the price is $20k too high. It won't sell too many at that price.

[Alpha]

Polsestar 4 is in no way price comparable to the Tesla model Y.
Tesla model Y is nearly 30% cheaper than this Polestar 4.
An Optioned up Polestar 4 would set you back around $125, 000.00. and a similar Model Y would set you back $88, 000.00.
Polestar as a company has posted year on year losses. Polestar have reported 1.46 billion dollar loss for 2024 due to poor sales.
If your planning to buy a car for 125k, you have to take into consideration that Polestars may go the same way as Fisker if trends stay the same.

[anoniem]

Polestar is not a Swedish brand. It originates from Volvo, which is full owned by Chinese manufacturer Geely. Chinese manufacturers don't operate on a level playing field as compared to European car manufacturers. Lower labour costs, lower energy cost, lower costs for rare metals needed for battery production, soft environmental laws, etc.
Because Russia started a war on the European continent, European countries banned the use of Russian fossil fuels, while China is supporting Russia's war efforts by buying Russian oil and gas at decreased prices.
Then of course there is the fact that China is not playing by the WTO rules. Western car manufacturers were forced by Chinese to share their Intellectual property with Chinese partners otherwise they were not allowed to sell their products in China. This explains why Chinese cars are on some aspects at the same quality as Western made cars.

The HMI is NOT UX - UX is not UI. UX is UX. It's also not a monitor. I found it near impossible to listen to anything else you had to say. Don't get me started on "coop" (coupe) - ffs dad. This needs to be marked as "hashtag boomer content for boomers by boomers".
