We need a new vocabulary to describe electric cars like the Polestar 4. The Swedish carmaker says its fourth child is an “electric SUV coupe”, but that doesn't really help. To my mind, and perhaps yours too, an SUV is the sort of car we used to call a 4X4 or an off-roader.
The Polestar 4, with its relatively low roof (for an SUV, which it isn’t) and swooping lines, seems more like a saloon, albeit a slightly taller one than normal. It’s a lot like the similarly undefinable Jaguar I-Pace, but since that’s about to be killed with no successor, such a comparison isn’t helpful.
