Polestar 4 to debut at Shanghai auto show
Polestar is set to unveil its next car, the Polestar 4 SUV, at the Shanghai auto show on later this month.
For the latest addition to its portfolio of cars, Polestar has taken the SUV coupé and transformed it for the electric age. Polestar 4 marries the aerodynamics of a coupé with the space of an SUV in a package enhanced by modern technology.
Design cues and sustainability enhancements initially showcased in Polestar’s concept cars will make their production debut in Polestar 4. The electric SUV coupé will also be the fastest Polestar production car to date.
“Polestar 4 is not simply a modified version of our first SUV. Instead, we reconsidered the entire design to create a new breed of SUV coupé,” said Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO.
Polestar plans to launch one new electric vehicle per year, starting with Polestar 3 – the company’s first electric performance SUV which debuted in October 2022. The launch of Polestar 4, a smaller electric performance SUV coupe, is expected in 2023.
In 2024, the Polestar 5 electric performance 4-door GT is planned to be launched as the production evolution of Polestar Precept – the manifesto concept car Polestar released in 2020 that showcases the brand’s future vision in terms of design, technology, and sustainability. As the company seeks to reduce its climate impact with every new model, Polestar aims to produce a truly climate-neutral car by 2030.
In March 2022, Polestar revealed its second concept car, an electric performance roadster which builds on the design, technology and sustainability ambitions laid out by Precept and showcases the brand’s vision for future sports cars. The hard-top convertible presents an evolution of the unique design language first shown by Precept and emphasises a dynamic driving experience. The concept further develops the focus on sustainability and technology, aiming towards greater circularity. Polestar confirmed in August 2022 that a version of the concept will be produced as the Polestar 6 electric performance roadster, with launch expected in 2026.
Visitors to the Shanghai auto show will find Polestar at stand 6B07 in Hall 6.2. Polestar 4 will be joined by Polestar 3 and the recently updated Polestar 2, making their first public appearance in China.
