"At the risk of sounding biased, I've always been rooting for Polestar. The brand made one of the earliest credible Tesla challengers with the Polestar 2, an electric sport sedan that remains an InsideEVs reader favoriteand has been known to win over gas-car fans, too. For a minute, it seemed like the Volvo spinoff was really onto something. Problem is, Polestar took too long to capitalize on that early success."
"It's billed as an SUV coupe, but it's really just a tall sedan with a hatchback trunk. It gives you a lot of performance and respectable range. It does not, however, give you a rear window. You get a roof-mounted camera instead of a traditional rearview mirror. The Polestar 4 is an incredibly odd swing for a brand finally attempting to go mainstream."
Polestar initially gained credibility with the Polestar 2 as an early Tesla challenger but struggled with tariffs, price hikes, production delays, financial upheaval and executive turnover. The brand is attempting a comeback with the premium Polestar 3 crossover and the unconventional Polestar 4. The Polestar 4 is presented as an SUV coupe but functions more like a tall sedan with a hatchback trunk, delivering strong performance and respectable EPA range. The car replaces a traditional rear window with a roof-mounted camera. Pricing ranges from about $56,400 base to $80,800 as-tested; key specs include a 100 kWh battery and 280-mile EPA range.
