This '4' encapsulates Polestar's gradual repositioning away from its former Volvo parent. Not least in the fact that it's the first car from this EV brand to be built on a Geely platform rather than a largely Volvo one. And the design here feels far more uniquely Polestar, not least in the polarising decision to do without a rear screen. The company says it doesn't use customer clinics as part of the development process, which is just as well because that feature wouldn't have survived that process.
But you might like it. And you might well very much like this car. The competition it faces is formidable, but we think this '4' has enough about it to stand apart. Whether its premium pricing will allow it to sell in the kind of numbers the brand is hoping for is another question. Rarity though, might well be another draw of the '4'. It has plenty.
