Later this year, Polestar will officially transition into a new era as a three-model manufacturer, when the 3 and 4 crossovers hit the American market for the 2025 model year. We've already reported on how the 2025 Polestar 3 aims to attract the largest potential customer base with all the performance, range, and luxury features to almost perfectly target buyers in the United States. The 2025 Polestar 4 arrives riding on the same underlying chassis as the 3, shared with the Geely conglomerate, but with more power lurking beneath a lower and leaner exterior design.
But that lower and leaner shape, in this case, was made possible by deleting the rear window entirely, a controversial decision that made a recent drive program in Madrid for both the 3 and 4 all the more interesting. Polestar decided to offer the 4 in two specs, either Long Range Single Motor or Long Range Dual Motor. The former uses one 200-kilowatt motor between the rear wheels to produce 272 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque, with a range target of 300 miles—the latter essentially doubles up with another 200-kilowatt motor at the front, good for 544 horsepower and 506 lb-ft of torque.
Range drops to 270 miles for the Dual Motor, but a 0-60 sprint also drops from 6.9 seconds to 3.7 seconds, while base pricing jumps from $54,900 to $62,900.
Versus the 3, which comes only in all-wheel drive starting at $73,400 for the Long Range Dual Motor or $79,400 when equipped with the Performance Pack, the Long Range Dual M.
