Is the 2025 Polestar 4 Competitively Priced?
- The 2025 Polestar 4 is expected to enter the US market shortly, where it will join a growing and competitively priced segment.
- The Polestar 4 compact crossover will start at a reasonable $56,300.
- However, when equipped with dual-electric motors and a Performance Pack, the top-end Polestar 4 will go up to $74,300.
From its lack of a true rear window to the sporty, obtuse body shape, the Polestar 4 has left a wake since its launch last spring. Now, despite Polestar's internal affairs making news lately, the Swedish brand is accelerating toward a broader, fully electric lineup. No longer will its stylish Polestar 2 be the brand's only EV.
Following the impending spring delivery of the Polestar 3 crossover, the brand has said its compact performance Polestar 4 crossover will be available stateside by this fall. Powered by a 102-kWh battery and a variable configuration of permanent-magnet, synchronous electric motors, Polestar's third all-electric offering is set to be a stronger contender on price and performance.
Depending on your electric motor choices, the Polestar 4 is set to make anywhere from 272 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque to 544 hp and 506 lb-ft, with a claimed EPA cycle range of 270 miles to 300 miles. Those aren't stellar range figures, especially up against models like the Tesla Model Y, but the appeal of a fresh design and competitive pricing could allow the Polestar 4 to go far.
A starting price of $56,300 for the long-range, single-motor variant of the 2025 Polestar 4 makes it reasonably affordable. It's not that we think $56,000 is truly accessible, but that price point should make the Polestar 4 attractive in a segment with upscale electric crossovers.
Model conventions for the Polestar 4 are a mouthful, but the main delineation rests in its electric motor outfit and package choices. The addition of the Pilot Pack, which includes enhanced SAE Level 2 semi-autonomous driving technology and other ADAS upgrades, comes at the cost of $1500, while the Pro Pack goes the extra mile at $2000 more.
The Pro Pack is largely aesthetic, adding 21-inch wheels and black seatbelts featuring a Swedish gold stripe and Swedish gold valve stem caps. Polestar also
