Polestar Automotive Holding UK PLC ( NASDAQ: PSNY ) introduced the Polestar 4 in conjunction with an appearance this week at the Shanghai Auto Show. The Polestar 4 is described as an electric performance SUV coupe and noted to be the second SUV in the brand’s line-up.
Built on the premium Sustainable Experience Architecture ( SEA ) developed by Geely Holding, Polestar 4 is a D-segment SUV coupé with a large body and long, 2,999 mm wheelbase. Both dual- and single motor versions will be available, with single-motor versions featuring rear-wheel drive. Polestar 4 is caleld the fastest production car the brand has developed to date. The 0-100 km/h sprint can be completed in just 3.8 seconds per the automaker and maximum power output is 400 kW (544 hp).
"With Polestar 4 we have taken a fundamental new approach to SUV coupé design. Rather than simply modifying an existing SUV, giving it a faster roofline and as a result, compromising elements like rear headroom and comfort, we have designed Polestar 4 from the ground up as a new breed of SUV coupé that celebrates rear occupant comfort and experience," stated Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath.
The Polestar 4 model will launch first in China, with production planned to begin in Hangzhou Bay, China, in November of this year. A full-scale launch for other markets, including in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific, is planned for early 2024.
