Polestar announced on Tuesday that the 2026 Polestar 4 is officially on sale in the United States, with a starting price of $56,400. First customer deliveries are expected this fall.
The coupe SUV is available in four trims and features Pilot Assist and Lane Change Assist, adaptive cruise control, digital key for Apple devices, among others.
Polestar highlighted that the Long Range Dual Motor version of the 2026 4 is its quickest production model yet, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
The model was unveiled on the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023, with production starting in China later that year.
In April 2024, Polestar opened U.S. orders for the model with prices starting at $54,900.
Polestar had warned reservation holders of the Polestar 4 model earlier this year that the customers would only get the car delivered this Fall. However, the EV maker said they would get the 2026 iteration with the original price protected.
European deliveries of the Polestar 4 started in the third quarter of 2024 — in Germany, Norway and Sweden. In Germany, the model is priced from €66,600, equivalent to about $75,500.
In May, 44 out of 134 total vehicles sold in the Netherlands by the brand were Polestar 4s. The Gothenburg-based brand sold 613 EVs in Sweden last month, with more than half being the Coupe SUV.
Polestar plans to have a line-up of five EVs by next year. The brand will launch the four-door GT Polestar 5 and an electric roadster, the Polestar 6, over the next 18 months.
South Korea Plant
Currently, the only Polestar model being manufactured in the U.S. is the Polestar 3.
Both the Polestar 2 and Polestar 4 are exclusively produced in China. However, the brand is starting production in Busan, South Korea, this summer. U.S.-delivered Polestar 4s will come from that plant.
In April, as a tariff war broke out between the two largest economies in the world, the brand stopped selling the Polestar 2 model from its U.S. website.
At the conference call that followed the latest results, CEO Michael Lohscheller stated that, as the company’s volume is mostly in Europe, the impact of the U.S. tariff on imported vehicles and auto parts is minimal.
“If you have 75% of your volume in Europe and see strong growth, […] then of course the focus of our work is on Europe,” Lohscheller said.
Polestar currently operates in 27 markets globally and plans to grow its European retail footprint to more than 180 locations by 2027.
Earlier on Tuesday, Polestar announced that four members are exiting the Board of Directors later this month.
