Polestar is launching a redesigned version of its electric SUV featuring a traditional vertical rear window, expanded cargo capacity, and unchanged pricing starting from 579.900 kroner, according to manufacturer specifications and reporting by TV 2 and Broom. Production of the new variant began in the second quarter of 2026 at a facility in Busan, South Korea, with initial customer deliveries planned for October 2026.
Redesigned Exterior and Increased Cargo Space
The newly unveiled Polestar variant departs from the sloping coupe roofline of its predecessor, adopting a higher and straighter profile designed to improve rear-seat headroom and cargo utility, according to Polestar. The redesign eliminates the missing rear window that drew significant attention during the initial launch of the original 4 model, returning to a conventional window layout.
Cargo capacity in the updated SUV measures 530 liters up to the rear seatbacks and expands to 655 liters when packed to the roof, according to the manufacturer. Folding the rear seats in a 60/40 split increases the total rear volume to 1,665 liters. An additional 15-liter front trunk, or frunk, remains available, alongside full-length roof rails supporting up to 100 kilograms of roof load.
Pricing, Powertrain Options, and Driving Range
Polestar has maintained identical pricing across the lineup compared to the coupe edition, keeping base costs from 579.900 kroner for the rear-wheel-drive variant and from 629.900 with 4×4, as reported by Broom. The Performance package costs from 744.900 kroner.
The all-wheel-drive model generates 544 horsepower, achieving a zero-to-100 kilometers-per-hour acceleration time of 3.9 seconds and a driving range of up to 600 kilometers, according to Polestar data. The rear-wheel-drive configuration removes the front motor, producing 272 horsepower with an acceleration time of 7.3 seconds, while extending the maximum driving range to 630 kilometers.
Pro tip: When utilizing the new camping mode on the Polestar SUV, drivers can turn the parked vehicle into a climate-controlled living space with a single screen tap, granting access to interior lighting and entertainment systems from both front and rear displays.
Charging Capabilities and V2L Technology
Both powertrain configurations utilize a 100-kilowatt-hour battery pack capable of DC fast charging up to 200 kilowatts, according to vehicle specifications. Maximum towing capacity reaches up to 2,000 kilograms, with an electrically deployable tow bar available as optional equipment.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology is integrated across all Polestar models, allowing the vehicle battery to function as a mobile power bank. The system delivers up to 3.3 kilowatts through a certified V2L adapter, with power automatically shutting off once the battery reaches a predefined minimum limit configured on the central display, according to Polestar documentation.
Interior Features and Production Timeline
Inside the cabin, the driver retains a dedicated instrument display alongside a central infotainment screen that now incorporates nine customizable shortcuts instead of six. Customers can also specify an optional Harman Kardon Premium Sound system featuring 12 speakers and a 1,400-watt amplifier tailored specifically for the SUV architecture.
Production is currently underway at the manufacturing plant in Busan, South Korea. Norwegian customers can expect the first vehicle handovers to begin in October 2026, according to production schedules released by Polestar.
