What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the Polestar 4 is stylish, spacious and quick, with a plush, well-made cabin, though the missing rear window divides opinion. All three find it less engaging to drive than it could be; What Car? found the low-speed ride firm and the driver monitor over-sensitive, and Autocar criticised adjusting the air vents through the touchscreen.
