Of all the electric cars at the moment, Polestar has all the element that I'm looking for in an EV. Like their environmental approach in building a vehicule. I'm Canadian, pricing for this model would probably be on the expensive side. Launch of the product is expected around April or May this year. Model 2 4WD is around $68,000 CAD, model 3 close to $100,000 CAD. So my guess for the model 4 would be around $75 to $80k which would place the model 4 uncompetitive with Tesla model Y and would not be eligible for EV incentive which is caped at $65k. All that to say I really like the design. Would love to see Polestar 2 redesign with a proper EV platform would buy the car tomorrow. Continue the great Job love your videos, very professional.
I have a 2021 Polestar 2 (Launch Edition). We've been together for nearly 3 years and I'm still madly in love. I rode in the Polestar 4 at Polestar Day late last year and loved it, too. Am planning on trading in my 2 for the 4 when it becomes available in the US soon. (don't tell my 2 that, though).
You should be able to pre-order yours in mid-2024 for delivery in the first quarter of 2025 in the US. This is because they are setting up production in a factory in South Korea for the American market. This is mainly to not get hit with that 25% tariff on imported cars from China. So that's why you guys have to wait a little longer. But it looks like a sweet car.
I just traded in my Tesla 3 for a polestar 2 and what a great choice I did. Love the polestar. Feels like driving a real car again. Love it. My plan is to trade it in for a polestar 4 also when it comes out for sale.
I got the polestar 2 and it’s amazing. Nothing is restricted in it what I have thought about. Just gotta be a good driver like most people are. Don’t know what you talk about
Same here. Just got my polestar 2. 3 weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful nice drivin car. Some times I just go out to drive it haha. No reason to go somewhere hmjust drive it. Love this one.
Dam good choice in thinkin about doing it also!! Sush a beautiful car. Might be the most beautiful car ever so far. I got the polestar 2 at the moment and it’s amazing. This car gonna be an amazing.
I really like the design, inside and outside, and no rear window doesn't seem to be a problem to me. But I think it's too expensive and also a bit too big for me. Not enough of a bargain to change my EV6 GT soon !
@@ALFOONUS well not really, P4 is a bit bigger and has just better interior quality, but equipment and performance are not better, P4 has bigger battery but not better efficiency and not better charging speed, so they are on the same league for me
Looking really good !! Now my question is: should I go for the polestar 2 single motor long range or this polestar 4 single ?? It’s only a pity that they didn’t choose for the 299cv for the p4 as in the p2 ! Any advise ??
I’d be tempted to say the 4 single motor. It’s a real step in from the 2 (which is great) but the bespoke architecture, more modern interior and design would have me choosing that one. Of course, we have yet to drive it, but if it does drive as well as the 2, then it’s a win-win.
You should first drive it, before buying anything. Have test driven already 8 EVs in the meanwhile. And the Polestar 2 was the worst of All!! ...noisy, harsh Ride, you can feel every pothole direct in your back, very cramped, too...claustrophopic due to the center console. The lane Assist pushes the steering wheel out of your hands...awful system...I am used to the perfectly smooth working System in my Passat GTE. After this test drive, I was more than happy to sit in my quiet and comfortable Passat again...much, much less noisy although there is an ICE in your front!!! To be honest, I was shoked how bad this car is in most of important aspects...and I am not surprised that sales are extremly bad in Germany, too. They have to fire 15% of employees to save money now.
Thanks Josef for your message. I’m from Belgium and have tested 3 times the polestar 2 (dual as single motor)(next to Tesla model s) I needed to choose a full EV as next company car and why I experienced reflects the same as many videos, driving with combustion engine for more than 35 years I could jump in a polestar without any difficulty. In the meantime I order mine. I’m not saying that it is the best car, but in the choice I had it was the most logic one
@@josefv-y8mi don’t know what you talk about. A part of my job is to register the EV cars in Sweden and the polestar is one of the best and I also own one now for 3 weeks. I had the Tesla 3 before. You might have drivin the first polestar 2 that was out but the latest models have changed the game. It’s a madness of a car. In my experience the polestar 2 is a real car and part of Volvos safety and build so it’s sush a good choice.
@@jean-pierreclef9004good comment. The polestar is a great choice. It’s a great design safety car. And feels like a real car and not like a sheell with just a screen.
You mention that the car is build from scratch, but I did understand from Geely is that Polestar 4 is based from the Zeekr 001. If you look at the specifications it makes sence. Both cars are from the Geely family.
The CMA platform that underpins the P2 and the EX40 started development in 2013, after Geely had acquired Volvo, and is shared with Lynk and Geely models. The SEA platform that underpins the P4 was developed by the exact same team in Sweden and underpins the Volvo EM90 as well as the Zeekr 001. both were developed in Sweden by CEVT (which is a Geely-owned R&D company) and are used in both Polestars and other Geely family vehicles.
I really like the looks of the car, but not the price (like most EV’s!). Can’t help thinking though it’s going to be known as the Pantomine car. With no rear window, it’ll be “It’s Behind You” and “Oh no it’s Not” 😂
It’s ironic Tesla Y is not mentioned. I am really anxious to see this vehicle but I was at the Montreal auto show and no Polestar 3 or 4. The Montreal EV show is in March. Will see… I predict Tesla Y 2025 will outsale 100 to 1 because of price and availability.
Have you driven a Y, sat in one? the ride is nigh on terrible, the interior is ridiculously scant and its pig ugly. Not everyone makes their choices purely on cost, and especially not at this price point.
My.problem is prices with psny and software im hoping with geely as.majority owner now will make decisions quick and straightforward as volvo was indecisive. Psny needs to turn profitable before 2026😅
Volvo and polestar is more like two separate companies now but they work together on everything. When have service on your polestar you go to Volvo. Polestar is like a 100 times more luxurious electric Volvo. Volvo x Polestar is the best. Had Tesla 3 for 2 years but 3 weeks ago I sold it and bought my first polestar 2. But now I’m waiting to get my hands on a polestar 4
Haven’t driven it yet, but have driven the Seal. It’s very good. And you might want to be watching the channel over the next couple of weeks if you are interested in the Seal.
Polestar is better choice for the future in my opinion. Volvo and polestar have contracts to be working together forever and that’s a safety. Volvo owns 18% of polestar and the other Chinese company that owns polestar also owns Volvo cars. So it’s a real safety option for me. I got the polestar 2 and it’s amazing. Test drived the polestar 3 and it’s even better. Can’t wait to test drive the polestar 4. I’m trade in my polestar 2 for the 4. Sush a cool car.
From all accounts Polestar are setting thenselves as an autonomous company. Unfortunately they are struggling and have had to layoff employees. Volvo have relinguished their involvement in Polestar so the the fture for them is difficult as especially as Tesla has reduce it's prices.
It’s nothing special. The only thing Volvo have done is reduce there shares in polestar and nothing else polestar and Volvo is forever partners. Volvo didn’t sell no shares in polestar. They did do give away around 60-70% of there shares to there share holders. So the Volvo cars share holders got shares in polestar for free
Is beautiful car i don't mind about no rear window problem is the high price starting from 68.000 euro compared with tesla reducing price and porsche macan ev this will be very struggling for polestar to sell
They will sell almost Zero from this car...even the Polestar 2 sales are extremly bad in germany...and have to fire 15% of employees. This car is expensive and no rear window is for sure a Deal breaker for some more interested, too.
@@josefv-y8m yees i ended up 82.500 euro to configure this car u have to pay everything nothing come with some extra for less then that much better Bmw IX full loaded
@@josefv-y8mrelax man. Polestar is not comparable to Tesla. Might be about the big screen but nothing els. The polestar is a real car. I got the polestar 2 and before that I had Tesla 3. I’m waiting for polestar 3 or 4. Probably get the 4 because it’s sush a special car and beyond beautiful
Either they lower the price by 10k or they will be out business soon. Poor sale numbers, they just fired 15% of global workforce, Volvo stepping back from the brand, Hertz cancelled an order of 60k units. It's just insane that base model is 23k more expensive than Tesla base model. They haven't adjusted the price in accordance to the recent and future market price cuts. Hope they do it before it's too late
Hertz did not cancel the orders of polestar. They just asked to have the orders of the polestar to come later because hertz wants to sell more cars before they get there new polestars.
Volvo havnt steped back from polestar. They have the same involvement as in the start. The only thing Volvo did was to give there share holders 60% of there shares in polestar just so people wont think they are the same company as people did before. Polestar and Volvo do there work together always and for ever.
Polestar doesn’t have to adjudicate the price to Tesla because they don’t compare them self’s to Tesla. Tesla is a shell with a big screen. Polestar is a real car. With design and real manufacturing materials for the interior. It’s designed and safety. Comfort. Modern. If you see the polestar 3 or 4 you don’t think of Tesla. You think more like porch. Luxury design. Why Tesla is cheap is because it’s for the sheaps. Mass production and so on. Polestar isn’t supposed to be like that.
@@andreasl4507 lol, you look like a Polestar fan who doesn't ser clearly the dangerous situation of Polestar. It's ok, don't feel bad when they go out of business
A bit disappointed with the price was looking at this car at that time was supposed to be a starting price of 55k. No doubt will sell not a patch on the Zeekr 001 which I hope come to the uk in 2024. Polestar sales in China and Europe has been poor.
Polestar isn’t a car brand for cheap cars. Polestar do the extra for the materials and everything about design and all the extra. Polestar don’t want the same amount of sales as Tesla. Because Tesla is a mass production car company now, Tesla cars is a basic shell and a screen. Polestar is so much more then that and don’t want to be compared to that.
Polestar will always be a better choice then many other new ev companies because polestar and Volvo work together on everything for the future. Volvo cars just gifted there share holders with 60% of there shares in polestar to make sure to take a step to become even more of two companies so polestar can make there own future but still have the work and safety of Volvo.
Zeekr have big trouble with most of everything test drived one for 4 days last week and was a nightmare. I got a polestar 2 and was thinkin about the Zeekr but now I’m waiting for the polestar 4.
The delay of the Polestar 3 because of Volvo R&D delay has hurt Polestar a lot. But I am sure Volvo/Geely will be supporting them until they can stand on their own two feet.
Polestar can’t be in trouble because they got Volvo and geely. Polestar 2 2024 is better and more luxurious so will be fine and the polestar 3 and 4 will change the game.
I wondered who would be first...... Polestar as a company are Swedish. Always have been. Design & engineering happens there, manufacturing is in China. Does that also make Apple and Tesla Chinese companies then?
@@AutoEV Lol! You are correct of course. But 'as Swedish as ABBA' is pushing it don't you think? Especially as all manufacturing is in China and Geeley ultimately owns the company
But nobody called Aston Martin American when it was owned by Ford and built the Rapide in Austria. Manufacturing takes place all over the globe now, and many companies are owned by bigger ones from elsewhere. My point is, Polestar was founded in Sweden, has its headquarters there and does all the design and engineering there. I therefore feel it is very much a Swedish company.
@@naivoj122 reality is that most western brands have a much better build quality than chinese therefore demand more money. I drove a polestar2, it sucks.
@@eingast7798 So u are using only one car to define every car that was made in China? U are as shallow as the pee that was left in a public toilet. I have sat in many built european cars before and its the same quality as any Chinese built cars so why pay more for the same quality.
Chinese Volvo? It is no more Chinese than Volvo is. But here is where people's brains start to melt... The main owner is Chinese, yes. The cars ain't. The cars are defined by the engineering and the design which are very much Swedish/European. And that goes for both Volvo and Polestar.
@@lt6532 maybe the design drawn by some swede designers. All the parts under the hood are 100% chinese engineered and manufactured, just compare wirh Zeekr. No reason not to buy, but a Porsche MacanE price tag(!!!) on this chinese ipad with an IKEA design is just insane.
Everything in and outside of the car is Swedish. Just there father company that owns polestar is Chinese and the car is production is in china. All the other work is done in Sweden.
Germany = efficiency? 😂 It’s clear you haven’t spent much time over here. There is literally nothing efficient about Germany. Our hospitals were transmitting data by fax during the pandemic. And Italy is “flamboyant”?! Where do you guys get your prejudices from? They are ridiculous!
Funny (or sad) that your laudable enthusiasm about Polestar comes at the same time it's poor shape is revealed to the public. And then there is the latest news that Volvo is abandoning it's offspring to Geely. The future looks bleak...
It’s not “abandoning” it, it’s moving it out from being seen as a subsidiary and letting Geely operate it as a separate company. Of course there will be a period of uncertainty and change, but from the products we’ve seen, I’d say the future looks very bright. The Polestar 2 has been a huge success and continues to sell well. Pre orders for other models are also healthy. Moving it off Volvo’s books will allow both to grow their own way, and the scalability of the platform means costs can be kept down as they are shared across Geely’s other companies. Don’t write them off.
@@AutoEVgood description. Volvo still have 18% of the ownership over polestar. The work between polestar and Volvo will be the same as before and same for the future. Amazing work by this company’s in Sweden.
20 minutes in, still talking about the layout features. Time to drive. I prefer to find out about the actual driving. (Breathe in loudly). Let’s get on with the driving experience in detail. (Time to get a wind suppression covering for that microphone- surely?)
This isn’t a drive video as we won’t get to drive the car until the end of the year. It’s just a walk around of the car. And I was using the cameraman’s microphone inside a studio, so no wind?
My apologies about the driving. That must be quite annoying for you. You may not have noticed but the presenter takes a breath before each sentence. The sound guy should note this and compensate. It distracts this viewer from what is being said. It is nothing like as prominent (but it is there) on earlier video. It’s the ONE thing that detracts from the presentation.

@@tobias_dahlbergfor sure 😁☀️
Expensive for no reason other than just being electric, not for me.
Were ABBA made in China too then?
I wondered who would be first......
Polestar as a company are Swedish. Always have been. Design & engineering happens there, manufacturing is in China. Does that also make Apple and Tesla Chinese companies then?
@@AutoEV Lol! You are correct of course. But 'as Swedish as ABBA' is pushing it don't you think? Especially as all manufacturing is in China and Geeley ultimately owns the company
But nobody called Aston Martin American when it was owned by Ford and built the Rapide in Austria. Manufacturing takes place all over the globe now, and many companies are owned by bigger ones from elsewhere. My point is, Polestar was founded in Sweden, has its headquarters there and does all the design and engineering there. I therefore feel it is very much a Swedish company.
@@AutoEVamazing work on your information. Polestar and Volvo will always be Swedish. Even tho there owned by Chinese company’s.
too expensive for a chinese Volvo. The "Pilot Assist" works only up to 130km/h, which is not even the speed limit of most limited european highways.
So what its chinese. Doesnt mean its from western/ europe countries means i have to pay a premium. Geez talk about being backward.
@@naivoj122 reality is that most western brands have a much better build quality than chinese therefore demand more money. I drove a polestar2, it sucks.
@@eingast7798 So u are using only one car to define every car that was made in China? U are as shallow as the pee that was left in a public toilet. I have sat in many built european cars before and its the same quality as any Chinese built cars so why pay more for the same quality.
Chinese Volvo? It is no more Chinese than Volvo is.
But here is where people's brains start to melt... The main owner is Chinese, yes. The cars ain't. The cars are defined by the engineering and the design which are very much Swedish/European. And that goes for both Volvo and Polestar.
@@lt6532 maybe the design drawn by some swede designers. All the parts under the hood are 100% chinese engineered and manufactured, just compare wirh Zeekr. No reason not to buy, but a Porsche MacanE price tag(!!!) on this chinese ipad with an IKEA design is just insane.
It's essentially a Zeekr 001 with a bit different design outside. Nothing swedish about it.
Apart from the design, the interior, the engineering, the components, the sustainability of the materials, the………
Everything in and outside of the car is Swedish. Just there father company that owns polestar is Chinese and the car is production is in china. All the other work is done in Sweden.
Zeekr do actually have lots a problem and not the safety for the future like the polestar have.
Germany = efficiency? 😂
It’s clear you haven’t spent much time over here. There is literally nothing efficient about Germany. Our hospitals were transmitting data by fax during the pandemic.
And Italy is “flamboyant”?! Where do you guys get your prejudices from? They are ridiculous!
Funny (or sad) that your laudable enthusiasm about Polestar comes at the same time it's poor shape is revealed to the public. And then there is the latest news that Volvo is abandoning it's offspring to Geely. The future looks bleak...
It’s not “abandoning” it, it’s moving it out from being seen as a subsidiary and letting Geely operate it as a separate company. Of course there will be a period of uncertainty and change, but from the products we’ve seen, I’d say the future looks very bright. The Polestar 2 has been a huge success and continues to sell well. Pre orders for other models are also healthy. Moving it off Volvo’s books will allow both to grow their own way, and the scalability of the platform means costs can be kept down as they are shared across Geely’s other companies. Don’t write them off.
@@AutoEVgood description. Volvo still have 18% of the ownership over polestar. The work between polestar and Volvo will be the same as before and same for the future. Amazing work by this company’s in Sweden.
20 minutes in, still talking about the layout features. Time to drive. I prefer to find out about the actual driving. (Breathe in loudly). Let’s get on with the driving experience in detail. (Time to get a wind suppression covering for that microphone- surely?)
This isn’t a drive video as we won’t get to drive the car until the end of the year. It’s just a walk around of the car. And I was using the cameraman’s microphone inside a studio, so no wind?
My apologies about the driving. That must be quite annoying for you.
You may not have noticed but the presenter takes a breath before each sentence. The sound guy should note this and compensate. It distracts this viewer from what is being said. It is nothing like as prominent (but it is there) on earlier video. It’s the ONE thing that detracts from the presentation.
