The short version
The Polestar 4 is a five-door electric SUV coupé with no rear window: a rear-view HD camera feeds the rear-view mirror instead. Polestar New Zealand lists two versions, the Long range Single motor from $99,900 and the Long range Dual motor from $119,900, both with a 100kWh battery and the Pilot pack included. The Single motor has a 620km WLTP range target and 0–100km/h in 7.1 seconds; the Dual motor has 400kW, 0–100km/h in 3.8 seconds and a 590km target. DC charging runs at up to 200kW, with 10–80% in about 30 minutes.
This summary is based on Polestar New Zealand’s Polestar 4 coupé overview, technical specifications and configurator on 5 November 2026, plus ANCAP’s 2025 rating. It is not a road test: ev.nz has not driven this car and does not give it a score.

It has no rear window: a rear-view HD camera feeds a digital rear-view mirror instead, and a panoramic glass roof is standard.
“Coupé aerodynamics. SUV spaciousness. Electric age innovation.”
The NZ configurator lists two versions. The Long range Single motor costs from $99,900 and drives the rear wheels with 200kW and 343Nm, reaching 100km/h in 7.1 seconds, with a 620km WLTP range target. The Long range Dual motor costs from $119,900 and has 400kW and 686Nm, 0–100km/h in 3.8 seconds and a 590km target. Both use a 100kWh, 400-volt lithium-ion battery, and the configurator showed delivery from March 2027.
