Key Features of the 2026 Polestar 4

Long range Dual motor powertrain

The Long range Dual motor configuration elevates the Polestar 4 from quick to commanding. With up to 400 kW/544 hp and 506 lb-ft of torque, the system is engineered for a 0 to 60 mph dash in a certified 3.7 seconds while maintaining nuanced control and composure. A front motor disconnect function allows the vehicle to prioritize efficiency by decoupling the front axle when conditions permit, an elegant solution to balancing range and responsiveness. All-wheel drive brings confident traction in varied conditions and works with adjustable steering feedback and Sport mode to tailor the car’s character. Continuously controlled active ZF dampers manage body motions with precision, with driver-selectable “standard,” “nimble,” or “firm” suspension feel on the center display. Add the Performance pack and the chassis gains Polestar Engineered tuning, specially calibrated ZF dampers, 22-inch forged alloys, and Swedish gold Brembo brakes. Whether you are threading mountain switchbacks or merging for a quick overtake near Chandler, AZ, the Dual motor powertrain anchors the Polestar 4’s performance identity.

Electrochromic glass roof

The optional electrochromic glass roof adds liquid-crystal technology that transforms from transparent to opaque in an instant, reflecting light to reduce glare and heat when you want a calmer cabin, or opening up the view for a bright, expansive feel. The panoramic panel is laminated for UV and noise reduction, helping maintain a tranquil atmosphere even at highway speeds. The opaque setting is particularly welcome in strong desert sun, making midday drives more comfortable without the need for a bulky shade. Control sits right in the center display, so you can adjust the light level as weather and preference change. Combined with the cabin’s solar system-inspired illumination and wrap-around design, the roof helps the interior feel both immersive and serene—luxury defined by ambience as much as materials.

Virtual rear window with roof-mounted HD camera

By removing the conventional rear window and integrating a roof-mounted HD camera, Polestar reimagined visibility and space. The crisp, 1480 x 320 pixel feed displays in an 8.9-inch digital mirror, delivering a wider field of view than a traditional mirror and improved clarity in darkness and rain. The housing is shaped to direct airflow away from the lens, helping keep it clear of water and grime. A tab under the mirror toggles between the live camera feed and a standard reflective view of rear passengers when needed. The packaging advantage is immediately felt in the second row—more headroom, generous recline available with the Plus pack, and larger comfort headrests that do not compromise rearward vision. The result is an airy, cocooned lounge that still gives you a comprehensive view of what’s behind.

Google built-in and connected infotainment

Google built-in integrates familiar apps and services directly into the car. Google Maps offers battery-conscious route planning with live updates, while Google Assistant enables hands-free control of climate, seat heating, music, and navigation so you can keep your eyes on the road. The 15.4-inch center display runs Android Automotive OS with a Polestar-developed interface designed to be informative yet uncluttered. Over-the-air updates continuously refine the infotainment, car systems, and apps, meaning the 2026 Polestar 4 improves over time. Wireless Apple CarPlay® is included for those who prefer iPhone-based connectivity, and the available Harman Kardon premium sound system adds 12 speakers and up to 1,320 watts, with optional headrest speakers in the Nappa upgrade bringing the total to 16 and 1,400 watts. Profiles for up to six drivers remember preferred apps, playlists, One Pedal Drive, and seating, seamlessly preparing the car the moment a recognized key approaches.

Comprehensive safety and driver assistance

Polestar 4’s safety approach is holistic. The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) fuses data from one mid-range radar, 11 exterior cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, continuously monitoring surroundings to warn and, when necessary, intervene. Core systems include Collision Avoidance with braking and steering support for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians, Blind Spot Information with steer assist, Lane Keeping Aid, Oncoming Lane Mitigation, and Rear Collision Warning and Mitigation. Parking is supported by a 360º and 3D view, while Cross Traffic Alert with brake support adds confidence when backing out of spots. Pilot Assist works with Adaptive Cruise Control to help center the vehicle in its lane and maintain following distance at highway speeds, reducing fatigue on longer drives. Protective structures use ultra-high-strength steel, and nine airbags—including an inner-side airbag and knee airbags—help shield occupants. Battery protection systems are engineered to isolate and protect the high-voltage components in the event of a collision. It all adds up to reassurance on every route.
