What This Means for Drivers
If you are considering an upgrade to a premium performance EV, this mid-cycle refresh directly tackles ride quality and handling compliance.
- Sharper Handling: A completely overhauled suspension architecture means flatter cornering and more precise steering feedback.
- Streamlined Buying Process: Polestar has abandoned its confusing standalone option packs in favour of clear, progressive trim tiers.
- Greener Production: You can drive a high-performance SUV with the peace of mind that its manufacturing footprint is lower than any sibling vehicle in the brand’s history.
Enhanced Driving Dynamics: The New Recalibrated Chassis
At the heart of the latest Polestar 4 coupé upgrades is a heavily revised chassis setup designed for both the Rear motor and Dual motor variants. Polestar engineers replaced the internal rebound coil springs with high-capacity passive dampers and polyurethane rebound stops.
Combined with bespoke spring configurations and stiffened anti-roll bar settings, the electric crossover delivers a much more controlled ride. Drivers will notice vastly improved steering precision, higher cornering agility, and reduced cabin harshness over uneven UK tarmac.
Uncompromised Performance and Lower Carbon Footprint
Despite the emphasis on comfort, the Polestar 4 coupé remains the fastest accelerating SUV in the brand’s current stable. The all-wheel-drive Dual motor variants generate intense electric performance, sprinting from 0 to 62mph in a blistering 3.8 seconds.
Simultaneously, it boasts the lowest cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of any Polestar model. Thanks to continuous supply chain optimization, the Dual motor version has reduced its manufacturing impact by 1.1 tCO₂e.
Sustainability and Speed Metrics
- 0 to 62mph Sprint (Dual motor): 3.8 seconds
- Rear Motor Carbon Footprint: 19.4 tCO₂e
- Dual Motor Carbon Footprint: 20.3 tCO₂e
Revised Trim Structures and UK Pricing
Polestar has introduced a simplified three-tier range: Rear motor, Dual motor, and the flagship Dual motor with Performance pack. Subtle visual cues separate the models, such as the seatbelts and rotary controllers finished in solid black, a Swedish gold stripe, or full Swedish gold.
