The Polestar 4 feels like a luxury upgrade over the 2.

The car is more luxurious, inheriting a change in focus at the Swedish automaker.

The Polestar 4 is a genuinely phenomenal drive.

Underpinning this entire experience is the Android Automotive OS theoperating systemthat Polestar and Volvo employ for their EVs.

Oh, I almost forgot about the missing rear window its the feature of the moment, right?

Interior-wise, the removal of that rear window doesn’t feel claustrophobic.

Rather, it allows the design to accommodate a gorgeous, roof-spanning glass that illuminates the rear seats.

Dont take this praise as if Im all aboard the rear-windowless train (or car).

Android Automotive is still tough to go up against, too.

It also has some new tricks that are uniquely its own.

See the planet on the screen?

you’ve got the option to turn the lights down or off if you elect to.

(And no, Pluto is not included, sorry Pluto truthers.)

That screen also includes all the drive options.

Suspension is well tuned, and the road noise is barely noticeable.

I absolutely loved the range this car was capable of.

But thats where Im going to leave compliments.

The only other issue I have with the car is its actuated charge door.

While not priced over-the-top, it feels exceptionally premium inside and looks the part on the outside.

Im very excited to see what other luxury automakers produce to compete with the Polestar 4.

Its priced below these cars in Australia, but is much closer to them in the UK.
