Polestar expands the 4 line with a practical, estate-like SUV
Polestar has officially added a new body style to its 4 family: the Polestar 4 SUV. Despite the SUV badge, the new model reads more like a raised station wagon — a deliberate design choice that blends coupe-derived styling with additional practicality. For buyers who want electric performance without the typical tall-crossover silhouette, this model positions itself as a compact executive SUV that keeps aesthetics and functionality in balance.
Design: coupe roots, estate utility
From the front, the Polestar 4 SUV retains the signature dual-blade headlights and an illuminated Polestar logo, while the rear gets a redesigned treatment to distinguish it from the 4 Coupe. Proportions are intentionally low and sleek, but the higher roofline and increased ground clearance give it that jack-of-all-trades stance: sporty from a distance, useful up close.

Exterior options include eight colors, among them two new matte finishes called Aurora and Ozone Matte, described as bright silver-green and bright silver-purple respectively. Full-length roof rails are standard, increasing cargo versatility and adding a claimed additional 100 kg of payload capacity.
Interior: minimalist but practical
Inside, the 2027 Polestar 4 SUV mirrors the minimalism of the coupe. The cabin uses recycled and bio-attributed materials, including interiors made from 100 percent recycled PET and a PVC surface with 53 percent bio-attributed content. Buyers can upgrade to Tailored Knit upholstery produced from 89 percent recycled PET waste using 3D knitting.

Key interior features:
- Landscape-oriented infotainment and widget shortcuts for faster access
- Tablet-like digital gauge cluster and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel
- Optional Harman Kardon premium audio: 1,400 watts and 12 speakers
- Large panoramic glass roof standard, with an electrochromic option available
- Optional digital rearview mirror
The raised roof gives rear passengers an extra 2.5 cm (about 1 in) of headroom, and the second-row seats are set more upright than in the coupe, improving comfort and utility for families or taller occupants.

Practicality and cargo capacity
Polestar has pushed the 4 SUV toward practicality without sacrificing design. Cargo volumes are competitive: - 530 liters (18.7 cu-ft) measured up to the seatbacks - 655 liters (23.1 cu-ft) when measured up to the inner roof - Up to 1,665 liters (58.8 cu-ft) with the second-row folded down
That flexibility, combined with roof rails and a higher loading height, makes the 4 SUV a convincing choice for buyers who need weekend gear space or everyday family practicality but prefer a more refined look than a hulking crossover.
Under the skin: SEA platform and two powertrain choices
Underneath the body sits the same SEA platform used in the Polestar 4 Coupe. Polestar offers two powertrain options: - Rear-motor: 200 kW (approx. 272 PS / 268 hp) and 343 Nm (253 lb-ft). 0-100 kph in 7.3 seconds. WLTP range up to 630 km (about 391 miles). - Dual-motor: 400 kW (approx. 544 PS / 536 hp) and 686 Nm (506 lb-ft). 0-100 kph in 3.9 seconds. WLTP range up to 600 km (about 373 miles).

Battery and charging: a standard 100 kWh battery pack is offered across the range, with DC charging capability up to 200 kW and AC charging up to 22 kW in selected markets. Those figures translate to practical daily usability and fast mid-trip replenishment on compatible high-power chargers.
Performance Pack and driving tech
For drivers who want sharper handling, the optional Performance Pack adds a performance chassis, recalibrated active dampers by ZF, Brembo brakes with gold calipers, and new 22-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires. It turns the already sporty 4 SUV closer to a true performance estate.
The vehicle also includes modern convenience and connectivity features such as V2L functionality, Google Gemini AI integration, and a Camping mode that transforms the cabin into a climate-controlled space with entertainment and ambient lighting at the touch of the screen.
Market positioning and context
Polestar is clearly targeting buyers who want premium electric driving dynamics and thoughtful design but reject the typical tall, bulky SUV profile. Positioned as a compact executive SUV, the Polestar 4 SUV competes for customers seeking a refined alternative to mainstream crossovers — those who prioritize style, interior quality, and usable cargo space in one package.
This approach also taps into a broader market trend: a growing appetite for EVs that blend sporting driving characteristics with estate-style practicality. For drivers who go on road trips, haul sports kit, or simply prefer a lower-slung silhouette, the Polestar 4 SUV offers a compelling middle ground.
Price and production
Polestar has released pricing for several key markets: - United Kingdom: Rear-motor from 54,750 pounds, Dual-motor from 60,750 pounds, Performance Pack from 68,250 pounds. - Germany: Rear-motor from 57,900 euros, Dual-motor from 65,900 euros, Performance Pack from 76,300 euros.
Production is handled in Busan, Korea, alongside the standard Polestar 4 models.
Highlights at a glance
- Up to 391 miles WLTP range (rear-motor version) - 100 kWh battery, 200 kW DC charging - Dual-motor flagship: 400 kW, 0-100 kph in 3.9 s - Up to 1,665 liters of cargo space with rear seats folded - Sustainable interior materials and Tailored Knit upholstery option - Optional Performance Pack with ZF dampers and Brembo brakes
Polestar has expanded the 4 family with a model that refuses to be pigeonholed. The 4 SUV answers a demand for attractive, practical electric vehicles that avoid the mass-market crossover look. It blends coupe-inspired design, impressive range figures, and estate-like usability into one premium package — a strategic move that should resonate with buyers who value both style and substance.

WLTP 391 miles on a 100kWh? hmm, is that even real world or lab wizardry? Also 200kW charging seems meh for long trips, need more details...
Wow, sporty estate SUV? actually kinda love the idea. Sleek yet useful. Hope rear headroom is comfy, and cargo is as versatile as they claim... curious!
