Polestar 4 review

At launch they all have the big 94kWh battery so they're all called 'Long range'. The single motor is £59,990 and the dual another £7k. It’s worth it in our view.
Polestar's leasing rate for the dual motor starts at just under £700 a month with six months upfront and 10k miles a year. Or, as with many EVs in 2024, they're offering zero per cent on PCP right from launch.

Pilot, Pro and Performance are the pick of the Polestar Packs, and if you can find a more alliterative start to a sentence out there, you win. Pilot is the adaptive cruise system for £1,300. Performance is bigger wheels, Brembos and a stiffer chassis tune for £4,000. Pro is 21-inch wheels and gold seat belts for £1,800.

Even without the packs, kit is high: Harman Kardon premium sound, head-up display, pixel LED headlights, control screen for the rear seat, and rear climate control, power reclining rear seats. The fact that everything in that sentence is part of the Plus pack and is standard implies that when they introduce a version with a smaller battery, that pack will magically become an extra-cost option.

Sign up to a monthly fee on the Polestar app and you get discounts on some of the big rapid-charge networks including Tesla Supercharging. Also, Plug and Charge is on its way. That means you don't even have to swipe a card or authorise via app but just connect the cable and electrons arrive, followed by a bill later.
