When I first came across it a couple of years back at the 2024 New York Auto Show, I didn’t know what to think of the Polestar 4. That’s because this all-electric luxury crossover lacks a traditional glass rear window. Instead, the rear is completely blacked out, with a rear-mounted camera that feeds a live video stream directly to the digital rearview mirror inside.
Honestly, it’s unlike any other EV I’ve tested to date. In fact, Polestar calls it an “SUV coupe” due to its ultra-sleek design. And you know what? I absolutely agree. While the base trim starts at $56,400, the Long Range Dual Motor model I drove for a week pushes the price to $80,800 — but it included upgrades that pack in some seriously impressive tech that make it a serious best electric car contender.
