With a brand new architecture and with the new electric Porsche Macan in its crosshairs, the Polestar 4 EV crossover aims to elevate its makers’ aspirations firmly into premium territory.

The headlining variant is the Long Range Dual Motor, boasting 400kW and 686Nm and a claimed 0100km/h performance of just 3.8 seconds, making it Polestar’s quickest offering to date.

Priced from $93,050 before on roads and options, our primary review subject brings the promise of 580kms of range WLTP.

We also drive the more affordable Long Range Single Motor reardriver, with only half the output but with a superior 620km range claim. It slips under the LCT threshold in its simplest form, priced from $81,500 list.

Chasing Cars’ founder Tom Baker travels to Spain to find out if Polestar 4 is any good. And discovers which of the two variants is the sweeter pick.
