Polestar<\/a> announced it has officially opened up sales of its long-promised 4 crossover SUV as a 2026 model, available to US customers starting today. Below, we\u2019ve included performance specs and pricing separated by each model variant.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Polestar 4 is the, you guessed it, fourth model from the Geely-owned, Swedish-designed automaker. The 4 was unveiled in 2023 before it\u00a0kicked off production<\/a> in China later that year.<\/p>\n

Those EVs were followed by deliveries to\u00a0Europe and Australia<\/a> in 2024, although US customers have had to continue to wait. In April 2024, Polestar said it was officially opening orders for the 4 in the US, starting at $54,900 and available in eight (yes, eight) different variants, built in China.<\/p>\n

Deliveries were expected to follow in late 2024, but Polestar faced several hurdles, including the appointment of a new CEO<\/a> and the looming threat of tariffs from the Trump Administration. As such, Polestar has regrouped and returned with updated timelines for its latest model.<\/p>\n

The 2026 Polestar 4 is FINALLY on sale in North America<\/h2>\n

Per the automaker, the 2026 Polestar 4 is officially on sale in the United States and can now be configured at Polestar.com<\/a>. When it was still a 2025 model, Polestar said the North American 4 would be built China, but things have changed.<\/p>\n

Instead, the 2026 Polestar 4 EVs will be built in Busan, South Korea. Per the head of Polestar North America, Rick Bryant:<\/p>\n

Following the successful launch of Polestar 4 in other markets around the world, we\u00a0 are thrilled to open the order books for the 2026 Polestar 4 in North America, which will\u00a0 all be built in Busan, South Korea. Polestar 4 confidently enters the premium performance class within the D-SUV\u00a0 segment. Our SUV coupe\u2019s innovative design offers generous interior space and a\u00a0 stunning appearance. Coupled with the assembled-in-the-U.S. Polestar 3, we now offer\u00a0 two dynamic SUV options for North American customers<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a 2026 model, Polestar appears to have slightly trimmed down its 4 variants, now offering five options for North American customers. Here\u2019s how they break down:<\/p>\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
2026 Polestar 4 Variant<\/strong><\/td>\nDrivetrain<\/strong><\/td>\nBattery
Capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n		Max Charge Rate (DC)<\/strong><\/td>\nEPA Range<\/strong> (Est.)<\/strong><\/td>\nPower<\/strong><\/td>\nTorque<\/strong><\/td>\nAcceleration<\/strong> (0-60 mph)<\/strong><\/td>\nStarting MSRP<\/strong>*<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Long Range Single Motor (w\/ standard Pilot Pack)<\/td>\nRWD<\/td>\n100 kWh<\/td>\n200 kW<\/td>\n300 miles<\/td>\n272 hp<\/td>\n253 lb-ft<\/td>\n6.9 seconds<\/td>\n$56,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Long Range Dual Motor (w\/ Pilot and Plus Pack)<\/td>\nAWD<\/td>\n100 kWh<\/td>\n200 kW<\/td>\n270 miles<\/td>\n544 hp<\/td>\n506 lb-ft<\/td>\n3.7 seconds<\/td>\n$68,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Long Range Dual Motor (w\/ Pilot, Plus and Performance Pack)<\/td>\nAWD<\/td>\n100 kWh<\/td>\n200 kW<\/td>\n270 miles<\/td>\n544 hp<\/td>\n506 lb-ft<\/td>\n3.7 seconds<\/td>\n$72,900<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>
* \u2013 Prices do not include destination fees of $1,400.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can see how the promised initial variants compare here<\/a>. It looks like Polestar nixed any variant that initially had a \u201cPro Pack.\u201d The automaker has also removed the Long Range Single Motor trim, which was supposed to start at an MSRP of $54,900. That\u2019s why the current MSRPs seem higher, albeit only slightly if at all.<\/p>\n

Polestar pointed out that its Long Range Dual Motor variant of the 2026 4 is its fastest production model to date, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. I\u2019d take that all day.<\/p>\n

Per Polestar, customers who ordered the (original?) Polestar 4 last year as a 2025 model will receive delivery of a price-protected 2026 model.<\/p>\n

Production for North American customers of the 2026 Polestar 4 is expected to begin in South Korea this summer, followed by initial customer deliveries this fall. What do you guys think? Will the Polestar 4 be worth the wait?<\/p>\n
