Polestar Scottsdale - What to Know About the 2026 Polestar 4
The 2026 Polestar 4 blends coupe aerodynamics with SUV practicality to create a sleek, spacious EV that feels special the moment you step inside. From its panoramic electrochromic roof to a camera-based rearview mirror that expands visibility while freeing up interior space, the design places comfort and confidence front and center. Under the sculpted surface, advanced powertrains prioritize instant response and long-distance efficiency, while thoughtful materials and intuitive tech create a calming, modern cabin experience.
Performance is tuned for balance, not just straight-line speed. Choose the engaging, efficient rear-wheel-drive Single Motor or the all-wheel-drive Dual Motor with a front motor disconnect that can favor efficiency when cruising and full grip when conditions call for it. Adjustable steering, One Pedal Drive, and a selectable Sport setting let you shape the drive to your mood and the road ahead, from urban errands to mountain switchbacks.
What stands out on the road:
- Acceleration: Instant torque translates to confident merges and quick passes, with the Dual Motor delivering sports-car urgency.
- Range: The Single Motor targets an EPA-estimated range up to 310 miles, while the Dual Motor balances power with impressive efficiency.
- Charging: DC fast charging can take the battery from 10-80% in about 30 minutes on a compatible 200 kW charger, while typical Level 2 home charging replenishes overnight at up to 11 kW.
- Drive feel: Three steering modes, One Pedal Drive, and a Sport setting tailor response for city streets, highways, and back roads.
- Aerodynamics: Flush glazing, air curtains, and a flat underbody work together to reduce drag and stabilize the ride.
Inside, Scandinavian minimalism gets a technological boost. The cabin wraps around you with a low cowl for open sightlines, an expansive glass roof that can go opaque to cut glare, and seating that supports long days behind the wheel. Fashion-inspired materials include an available Tailored Knit upholstery made from recycled content, and available Nappa leather with massage and ventilation for added luxury. Rear passengers enjoy electric reclining seats and their own controls, turning every trip into first-class travel.
Everyday convenience highlights:
- Digital rearview mirror: A roof-mounted HD camera improves rear visibility in daylight and rain while freeing headroom and cargo stacking height.
- Electrochromic roof: Toggle from transparent to opaque to manage heat and glare without losing the airy ambiance.
- Cargo flexibility: A flat load floor and foldable rear seats expand utility for gear, home projects, and weekend escapes.
- Driver profiles: Save settings for up to six drivers, automatically restoring seats, mirrors, and preferred drive modes.
- App connectivity: Use the Polestar app to precondition the cabin, check charge status, and access Digital Key functionality.
Infotainment is anchored by Google built-in for native navigation, voice assistance, and app access, so you can plan battery-smart routes, manage climate, or cue music with simple voice commands. Over-the-air updates keep the car’s systems advancing over time without a service visit. Audiophiles can elevate the cabin’s hush with an available Harman Kardon system and optional headrest speakers for immersive sound that rivals high-end listening rooms.
Safety is deeply integrated. The Advanced Driver Assistance System uses cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors to monitor the environment and support the driver with features like 360 degree and 3D parking views, Blind Spot Information with steer assist, Cross Traffic Alert with auto brake, lane centering assistance, and intelligent speed support. Preventive systems are designed to help avoid or mitigate collisions, while protective structures and multiple airbags help safeguard occupants. Battery protection systems and automatic high-voltage disconnect add another layer of reassurance unique to EVs.
Not sure which configuration suits your life best? Use this quick decision guide to narrow the fit:
- Commute and range needs: If you routinely cover long highway distances or prefer fewer charging stops, the Single Motor’s longer EPA-estimated range could be ideal.
- Performance preference: If you value maximum traction and 0-60 mph sprints as quick as 3.7 seconds, the Dual Motor delivers.
- Ride and handling: Consider the upgraded ZF active dampers and performance chassis tuning if you want sharper responses without compromising comfort.
- Audio and comfort: Road-trip regularly or love premium sound? Look for the Plus pack and available Nappa upgrade with massage, ventilation, and headrest speakers.
- Charging routine: Frequent access to DC fast charging favors rapid top-ups, while home Level 2 charging suits predictable daily use.
