Review: https://www.electrifying.com/reviews/polestar-reviews/4/review
After swapping her much-loved BYD for the striking new Polestar 4, Nicola Hume has been living with one of the most talked-about electric SUVs on sale. With its bold design, futuristic cabin and controversial decision to ditch the traditional rear window altogether, the Polestar 4 promises a very different kind of EV experience. But how does it hold up in real life?
In this long-term update, Nicola shares her honest verdict after several months behind the wheel. While she’s been impressed by the performance, comfort and standout styling, it hasn’t all been plain sailing. She talks about some early software teething troubles, how they affected day-to-day usability, and whether updates have improved things.
Nicola also explores how the camera-based rear view system works in everyday driving, and whether moving from a BYD she absolutely loved has made the transition easier or harder.
Has the Polestar 4 lived up to expectations, or have the niggles taken the shine off? Watch to find out.
