Polestar has just
unveiled what would be the Porsche Macan's closest competitor and it's a
stunner, to say the least, decked with a compact interior and a sleek and
futuristic exterior design that features 12 ultrasonic sensors and to top it
all up no rear window the Pulstar.
4 is simply an
amazing EV design with an insane amount of detailing the four made its debut
appearance at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show and stands out as one of the top EVS at
the event pollster's new SUV is a sleeker and sportier version of its predecessor
the Pole star
3. according to pole
star this new addition to its family of EVS will be able to hit up to 62 miles
per hour in just a little under 4 seconds with performance this good and the
intense degree of detailing in This SUV we have good enough reasons to believe
pollster's new SUV would make for a fierce competitor against EV Market leading
models like the Tesla Model Y and especially Porsche's Macan chances are high
that the Pulstar 4 will be a hit when the new SUV finally hits the mark it well
if this happens it won't be anything far from what we expect but simply an
addition to the success Polestar has already recorded with its previous models
like the pull star 2.
According to Inside
EVS the Pole Star 2 was a huge success, especially in Germany beating even
Tesla's Model 3 to become the most popular EV in all of Germany in 2022 with
such success it's obvious that Polestar is definitely not taking a backseat in
the current EV Revolution Polestar is a Swedish automaker that began producing
vehicles in 2000 however its Origins are traceable to a Swedish racing team
that competed in the Swedish Touring Car Championship called flash engineering
back in 1996.
Flash Engineering
would later be renamed Pole Star Racing after the team was sold and
consequently rebranded at the time pole
Star Racing partnered
with Volvo cars but it wasn't until 2009 that Polestar became the official
Volvo partner having full permission to modify existing Volvo models and to do
so under the brand name Pole Star Performance the Polestar company and
brand were eventually acquired by Volvo in 2015.
Today pollstar serves
as Volvo's performance and electric vehicle brand saddled with the
responsibility of coming up with blends of high-tech and modern Swedish styling
in their car designs so far pollster has done a great job of putting out
sweetly styled cars with impressive performance metrics but to achieve this Polestar
adopts a design process is known as minimalism, needless to say, the pole star
4 is a classic example of this design process the very design of pole star 4
bespeaks a lot of detailing thanks to the company's minimalistic approach to
design but what exactly is the minimalistic approach to design all about the
minimalistic design approach involves stripping
complex systems down to their most basic parts and tackling the design at this
level.
This allows for
well-detailed designs that are also highly efficient and that's really because
of the micro-level detailing this process gives room, for now, Polestar adopts
this design approach, and from what we know it seems to be working quite well
for the Swedish automaker so what can we expect this newest outcome of the
company's detailed design process to look like when it finally gets on the
market well let's begin with its specs so what will the Pulstar 4 be able to
deliver in terms of specs, to begin with, the pole star 4 is the fastest model
the Swedish automaker has brought to the four so far the performance version of
the Polestar 4 will be able to deliver up to 544 horsepower in its dual motor
all-wheel model and 506 pound-feet of torque it'll be able to go from 0 to 60
miles per hour in as little as 3.8 seconds now that's just half amazing when you consider
this stunning SUV would be able to go on to hit as high as 124 miles per hour
the single-motor rear-wheel drive version of the Polestar 4 will surely deliver
less than its dual-motor version.
But it's still as
impressive as being able to deliver up to 272 horsepower in engine power and
253 pound-feet of instant torque single the motor version will be able to go
from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.4 seconds while gradually building up to its
peak speed of 112 miles per hour it also comes equipped with a large
94-kilowatt hour lithium-ion battery pack manufactured by cattle which can
deliver up to 300 miles of driving range in the single motor version and 270
miles in the dual motor version when it comes to recharging the pole star 4
is built for bi-directional charging and can handle up to 200 kilowatts of
charging speed it also comes with a 22-kilowatt charger, to begin with, the
Pulstar 4 does not look like an SUV from the outside.
It looks more like a
sedan the exterior design of the Polestar 4 is a step up from the design of
pole star 2 and the 4 is built on the same design concept as the pull start 2.
That is the precept concept the Pulstar 4 actually shares a lot of features
with the top of line pole star 2 trim levels it has a bold and futuristic look
that features bisecting headlights 22-inch Wheels four-piston Brembo brakes gold colored Trims on the brake calipers and overall length of 4899
millimeters a width of 2139 millimeters and a wheelbase of 299 millimeters for
security driver safety features are also included on the exterior of the
Pulstar 4.
It's fitted with 12
cameras radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors at the rear there's a button that opens
up a 500-liter boot space which can be increased even further by adjusting the
rear seats to reveal over 1 000 liters of extra boot space however unlike
anything else we've seen the Polestar 4 has no rear window this is probably the
most outstanding feature of the Polestar 4's exterior design so instead of
having a rear window the Polestar 4 uses a high definition rear view camera
that displays everything taking place behind the car.
However, the absence
of a rear window in the Polestar Force design is not just a fancy decision this
actually allows for the inclusion of a panoramic rooftop that stretches all the
way to the back of the passenger seats and this makes for a more Airy interior,
and speaking of Interior Design the pole star 4's interior is decked out with
neat and well-tailored textiles made from 100 recycled plastic the carpets are
also made from the recycled pet which is a good effort towards protecting our
environment this is all in line with polestar's sustainable experience
architecture and is probably the most interesting property of polestar's
vehicles.
They're built to be
easy to recycle there's also a 15-inch infotainment screen located on the
dashboard and positioned so it's pretty close to the driver's seat for easy
control a convertible rear view mirror that can be used as a camera to look out
the back of the car Apple car play 12 speakers with an additional two headrest
speakers added to each front seat making a total of 16 speakers and a climate
control screen that can also be used to regulate the temperature of the heated
rear seats and speaking of the rear seats they can be folded to provide over1
000 liters of extra boot space overall.
The Polestar has a
really spacious interior and its design makes for an Airy comfy and compact SUV
experience so while the Pulstar 4 looks like a sedan on the exterior its
interior definitely delivers on the SUV experience with class and great detail
thanks to its spacious cabin space and the insane amount of minute details in
its interior the pole star 4 is an amazing design and is the direct competitor
of the Porsche Macan in many ways while it doesn't have the looks of an SUV on
the outside it still beats the Porsche Macan in size things even get more
interesting.
When we consider the
price difference between the Macan and the four we expect the pole star 4 to
hit the Chinese market anytime in the fourth quarter of 2023 it should however
be available in the US and Europe sometime in early 2024. However, its starting
price is lower than what you'd get a Maccon for and that's a starting price of
sixty thousand dollars which makes it all the better for the four so why to take
all the effort to put out an SUV-styled like a sedan and with so much competitive
detail only to sell it for less than what's already in the SUV Market you might
ask the answer is Tesla's winning strategy of selling services along with EVS
Tesla has quite an impressive success story when it comes to leading in the EV
Market no doubt but it's only normal to have competitors striving for a good
share in the market too so like Tesla Polestar hopes to make a good profit from
regular OTAs or over-the-air updates.
