Polestar 4 SUV 2027: What We Know So Far Translation

The Polestar 4 SUV packs a 100 kWh battery and up to 391 miles of WLTP range, starting at roughly $62,000 in Europe, but it isn’t confirmed for the US market.

What Is the Polestar 4 SUV?

The Polestar 4 SUV is a new body style built on the existing Polestar 4, officially launched in 2026 and referred to by industry press as a 2027 model. The biggest change from the original coupe is the return of a conventional rear window, replacing the coupe’s rear-camera setup with a standard glass hatch.

Polestar markets the Polestar 4 as a D-segment SUV coupe, and this new variant leans further into everyday practicality without abandoning that positioning. It rides on the SEA platform, with European deliveries slated for the fourth quarter of 2026. As of now, there’s no confirmation this bodystyle is coming to the US, and no evidence of an official Brazilian launch either.

Exterior Design: What Changed on the SUV Body Style

The Polestar 4 SUV measures 190.6 inches long, rides on a 118.1-inch wheelbase, stands 61.3 inches tall, and spans 84.2 inches wide with mirrors extended. Those numbers put it squarely in the midsize premium SUV class.

The headline design change is that rear window. The original Polestar 4 coupe skipped it entirely, relying on a rear-facing camera feed shown on the interior mirror instead. The SUV version brings back a traditional glass hatch, which should improve rear visibility for daily driving.

Available reporting doesn’t detail any other front- or side-panel changes beyond this structural update, so it’s unclear whether Polestar made further styling tweaks to distinguish the SUV from the coupe.

How Much Cargo Space Does the Polestar 4 SUV Have?

The Polestar 4 SUV seats five and offers 18.7 cu-ft of cargo room behind the rear seats, which expands to 23.1 cu-ft up to the roofline and 58.8 cu-ft with the seats folded flat. There’s also a 0.53 cu-ft front trunk, handy for stashing charging cables.

Those figures point to a practical edge over the Polestar 4 coupe, since the new body style should make better use of cargo volume, though available reporting doesn’t offer a direct liter-for-liter comparison between the two.

Interior materials, seat types, and driving position details haven’t been published for this bodystyle, so those specifics remain unconfirmed.

What Tech and Safety Features Come Standard?

The center touchscreen measures 15.4 inches, paired with a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster. The system includes 5G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, wireless Apple CarPlay, over-the-air updates, built-in Google apps, and a digital key with expanded future compatibility.

On the driver-assist side, the Polestar 4 SUV comes with adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, blind-spot monitoring with steer assist, rear cross-traffic alert with braking, lane departure warning, run-off-road mitigation, driver attention monitoring, seven airbags, and a 360-degree camera. Pilot Assist, lane-change assist, and automated parking assist are available as options.

That’s a broad tech and safety package for the class, though available reporting doesn’t include a head-to-head comparison against competitors that would confirm how it stacks up.

Polestar 4 SUV Engine and Performance

The Polestar 4 SUV is offered with two powertrain options. The Single Motor trim uses one 200 kW electric motor on the rear axle, producing 272 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque, sends power to the rear wheels, and hits 124 mph flat out. Polestar quotes a 7.3-second 0-62 mph time for this configuration.

The Dual Motor trim adds a second 200 kW motor up front for all-wheel drive, bringing total output to 544 hp and 506 lb-ft of torque. That’s a big jump in acceleration, dropping the 0-62 mph time to 3.9 seconds while keeping the same 124-mph top speed as the base trim.

A third configuration, Dual Motor with Performance Pack, doesn’t get a separate horsepower rating, but it does add 22-inch wheels, Pirelli P Zero tires, gold-finished Brembo brakes, ZF adaptive dampers, and chassis tuning from Polestar Engineered. In practice, it’s aimed at buyers who care about handling feel as much as straight-line numbers.

Polestar 4 SUV Range and Efficiency

The battery pack holds 100 kWh and runs on a 400-volt architecture, with DC fast charging topping out at 200 kW, enough for a 10-80% charge in about 30 minutes. Standard AC charging is rated at 11 kW, with a 22 kW option available.

On the WLTP test cycle, the Single Motor trim is rated for up to 391 miles of range, while the Dual Motor trim comes in at up to 373 miles. Polestar’s published consumption figures work out to roughly 17.8 kWh per 100 km on the Single Motor and 19.0-21.6 kWh per 100 km on the Dual Motor. An EPA-rated MPGe figure for this bodystyle hasn’t been published, and WLTP numbers typically run higher than what EPA testing would show.

Single Motor: up to 391 miles (WLTP)
Dual Motor: up to 373 miles (WLTP)
DC fast charging: 10-80% in about 30 minutes
EPA range/MPGe: not yet disclosed

The roughly 18-mile range gap between trims is the tradeoff for all-wheel drive and the extra power. Buyers prioritizing range are better served by the Single Motor version. Real-world consumption data from owners isn’t available yet, since this is a recent launch.

Polestar 4 SUV Price and US Availability

In Europe, the Polestar 4 SUV starts at €57,900 for the Single Motor trim, roughly comparable to $62,000 at current exchange rates, though that’s not an official US price. The Dual Motor trim starts at €65,900, and the Performance Pack version tops out at €76,300.

Here’s the key thing to understand: this bodystyle isn’t currently confirmed for sale in the United States. Industry coverage indicates Polestar isn’t bringing the SUV version stateside, at least for now. For context, the Polestar 4 coupe that is sold in the US comes with 272 hp RWD or 544 hp AWD, a 124-mph top speed, and an EPA-rated range of 310 miles or 280 miles depending on trim, but those figures apply to the coupe, not this SUV.

Coverage of financing, lease terms, insurance costs, and depreciation specific to the SUV bodystyle hasn’t been published, largely because there’s no confirmed US market entry to base those estimates on. Polestar backs the vehicle with a 3-year/100,000 km warranty and an 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty, with battery replacement covered if state of health drops below 70% within that window. Recommended service intervals are every 2 years or 30,000 km, supported through a service network tied to Volvo Cars in Europe.

Buyers who want this specific bodystyle today are effectively limited to European markets. Anyone in the US interested in a Polestar SUV will need to watch for an official announcement, or consider the Polestar 4 coupe, which is already sold domestically.

Polestar 4 SUV FAQ

Is the Polestar 4 SUV the same as the Polestar 4 coupe?

Not exactly. It’s a new body style on the same platform, with a conventional rear window replacing the coupe’s camera-based rear view, while keeping the same mechanical and tech foundation.

What’s the range difference between trims?

The Single Motor trim is rated up to 391 miles WLTP, while the Dual Motor trim comes in at up to 373 miles WLTP. The gap reflects the higher consumption of the all-wheel-drive setup.

Does the Polestar 4 SUV have a crash safety rating?

The Polestar 4 earned a 5-star Euro NCAP rating, with 92% scores for adult occupant protection and 85% for child protection. It’s not confirmed whether that rating specifically covers the SUV bodystyle.

When does the Polestar 4 SUV go on sale?

European deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, according to industry coverage. No confirmed timeline exists for other markets, including the US.

Verdict

The Polestar 4 SUV pairs a 100 kWh battery, up to 391 miles of WLTP range, and a deep tech package, all built on a platform Polestar has already proven with the original coupe. Its biggest limitation right now is reach: a high price and a market footprint that doesn’t yet include the US or Brazil.

It makes sense for buyers already in a European market Polestar serves who want a premium electric SUV with strong range. It doesn’t make sense yet for anyone hoping to buy one through official US channels. This is a decision driven more by range and spec numbers than by badge exclusivity.

Would you rather wait for an official US launch, or bet on the range-focused Single Motor trim if it ever gets here?
