The highly anticipated Polestar 4 has started its production route in China. Produced in the Hangzhou Bay factory in China, this electric crossover is not just an electric vehicle; it’s Polestar’s bid for a global mainstream success story.
The car is supposed to be the company’s best work yet
The Polestar 4 is a unique blend of size and price, fitting snugly between the smaller Polestar 2 and the larger Polestar 3. Unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023, it boasts impressive features like a 102-kilowatt-hour battery, promising a range of about 373 miles. This makes it not just stylish, but also practical for longer journeys. The first production model, finished in a crisp ‘Snow’ color with striking ‘Swedish Gold’ details, is more than just a car for the company.
Polestar is smartly navigating global trade dynamics. Currently, the Polestar 4 faces high tariffs if imported into America. But come the second half of 2025, production will expand to the Renault Korea Motors plant, which will serve the North American market, thus bypassing these tariffs. This strategic move underscores Polestar’s commitment to making its vehicles accessible globally.
The year 2024 will be significant for Polestar, with the launch of the Polestar 4 and the anticipation of the Polestar 5. This rapid expansion shows the company’s ambition to make a mark in the electric vehicle sector. Polestar’s CEO, Thomas Ingenlath, emphasizes the unique design and performance of the car, highlighting its digital features like the virtual rear window.
This launch is not just about a new model; it’s about Polestar’s vision for the future. With a goal to break even by 2025 and target annual sales of up to 165,000 cars, Polestar is not just making vehicles; it’s crafting a path to a sustainable, electrified future.
