Polestar 4 US pricing.

The all-new Polestar 4 will start at $ 54,900 when it goes on sale next month, with deliveries starting at the end of the year.

That base price gives you a single motor, RWD version with 272HP and 300 miles of range. 20-inch wheels are standard, as well as LED lights, a panoramic glass roof, a 10.2-inch instrument cluster, and a 15.4-inch center screen.

A $1500 Pilot Pack is an option and includes lane change and Pilot assist. A $ 5,500 Plus Pack adds a Harman Kardon sound system, a 14.7-inch head-up display (!), a tri-zone climate, and other luxury stuff.

The AWD dual motor version starts at $ 62,900, which is a big step up. It also gets a smaller 270-mile range. Even though it comes standard with the Pilot Pack.

A $4500 Performance Pack adds 22-inch wheels and a sportier suspension among other things.

At $55 000 the new Polestar 4 is a bit cheaper than I thought. Especially since the larger Polestar 3 is much more expensive at $ 73,400. And just $5000 more than the Polestar 2 sedan. This is pretty much the same difference between the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y.

Still, the Polestar 4 is a bit on the pricey side. Starting at about $ 10,000 over the Tesla Model Y and $5000 more than the Audi Q4 e-Tron. However, Polestar considers itself as a Porsche competitor (good luck). Which of course is even more expensive, with the new Macan EV starting at around $ 78,000.

Since the Polestar is not built in the US, it doesn’t qualify for the federal incentives. Although leasing does.

While the Polestar 4 isn’t cheap, Polestar is currently offering the $ 56,700 Polestar 2 AWD sedan at a $ 349-a-month lease. ($5000 down). Which could mean a similar lease price for the upcoming Polestar 4 RWD.

The Polestar 2 seems to be doing OK so far. It will be interesting to see if the roomer Polestar 4 gets some traction in the US. It is after all a new brand. Even though it is linked to Volvo, it is also a Chinese brand. Something that might not be the most popular attribute these days.
