NEW Polestar 4 Review | The Model S Reincarnated?

*Shockingly good.

The new Polestar 4 is best-known for its lack of rear window, but there’s a lot more to this sleek electric crossover than that. In fact, the 544hp dual motor model is really rather good, as Sam Sheehan explains.

Got mine last week ! Dual motor, Electron, standard spec ‘20’ inch wheels. I really love it, so cool, gets lots of looks and even pointed at. Takes a few day to get used of the information system and rear view mirror but becomes natural after a few days.

It’s not software that’s making the acceleration feel less responsive. The front motor in Range mode is disconnected via a clutch and takes 0.3s to re-engage upon heavy acceleration. Putting it in performance mode permanently engages the front motor.

This is the same setup as in the Polestar 3, Volvo EX30/EX90, and Smart #1/3 to name a few.

The Tesla model 3/Y by comparison don’t suffer this because they use a cheaper asynchronous motor in the front rather than a permanent magnet motor front and rear like the cars I listed above. However, Tesla’s approach of using an asynchronous motor has its downsides too (taking up more space, being less efficient, and offering less precision).

Moved from Tesla Y to P*4 red. Polestar smoother ride, less road noise, hud. Altogether a nicer car.

This the best lookin car on the roads. People that drive one trully know the eyes they get on them. Special in Sweden do because we all truly love Volvos and Polestar. You drive any of these car brands in Sweden and people like treat you like a king in traffic.

Saw one at the dealer in Manchester yesterday, they’re stunning in person

[Andreassssssss-ivwv]

Trully a beast of a car and a great video! ❤

[flemmingsorensen]

Just came across your reviews - and they are so nice and positive, with your own view on things. This is sharp contrats to the other car channels, that are angry people, repeating what their colleagues "burped up" earlier. I really like your style!

[designersperspective]

Most exciting car brand at the moment and the best design!

[MortenRyberg]

I use glasses for reading and tried a KIA with rear view done with a screen… simply cannot see clear on that so I cannot drive with it.

[gannetripple]

I took a long drive in one. There's much to like vs my 2022 Model 3 but the rear view camera is hopeless for varifocal specs wearers. That's because you're looking through the distance part of the varifocal lenses at a 'mirror' that's just a few cms away, hence hopelessly out of focus.

[ChrisFrancis-oh]

What colour is the car reviewed please, apologies if it was mentioned tend to watch at x2 speed 😂

[timmanc]

Does this not have reversing sensors ?

[thomaswestin]

use the google speech control, it works really well for most things used while driving

[michaelenglund]

That is not true. Obsession with drag coefficiency would get 0, 21 or lower. Not 0, 24 and above.

[outrospectionall]

Love how British people enjoy self deprecation - great review btw

[muhammadbarley]

2.12m wide?? A humvee is only 4cm wider!

[markymarkreviews]

Stunning but lets see how that rear view camera is when its raining and covered in filth..

[ThroughJermainesLens]

This is nothing like a tesla.... That being said I dislike this interior a lot, because I hate the big display it ruins the flow of the interior! And then the small cut in half DIY looking display behind the wheel also looks poor. Speedometers need their proper home!

[bossadave]

You would need to be brave to buy an EV in 2024.

Might drive well, have good power and range but IMO looks odd and definitely not premium in real life.
Not many would be proud to have this sitting on the driveway vs German alternatives
