Polestar 4 Review: The Futuristic Coupé-SUV You Didn’t Know You Needed
At Pendle Lease, we’re no strangers to the new and the bold — and the Polestar 4 is both. As the electric vehicle (EV) market in the UK shifts up a gear, this sleek coupé-style SUV from Volvo’s performance electric spin-off is making headlines. With its head-turning design, powerful EV credentials, and a backseat with no rear window (more on that later), the Polestar 4 demands attention.
Whether you’re a business lease customer with one eye on fleet sustainability, or you’re looking for a personal lease deal that’s anything but ordinary, the Polestar 4 might just be the future-forward option for you.
A Coupé-SUV That Breaks the Mould
The Polestar 4 is not your average SUV. It sits somewhere between the smaller Polestar 2 and the larger Polestar 3, and while technically it’s a mid-sized SUV, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a concept car brought to life.
Why? Because of that design. A swooping roofline, razor-sharp lines, and no rear window — replaced instead with a high-definition camera feed displayed on a screen in the rear-view mirror. It’s daring, it’s divisive, and we love it for that.
Polestar’s decision to remove the rear glass allows for a more aerodynamic body and creates additional space for rear passengers. It’s a bold move, but it speaks to the innovation this brand is quickly becoming known for.
Performance That Packs a Punch
The Polestar 4 comes in two flavours:
The dual motor version hits 0-62 mph in a brisk 3.8 seconds, making it the fastest production Polestar ever built — yes, faster than the Polestar 1 sports car. The single motor variant is no slouch either, offering a confident, composed drive perfect for city commuting or the open road.
If you're considering vehicle leasing for business use, the dual motor might be overkill unless you’re keen to get from head office to your next meeting very quickly. But for those seeking a personal lease with a bit of “wow factor,” the performance is seriously tempting.
Range and Charging
Range is a major talking point for EV leasing customers, and the Polestar 4 doesn’t disappoint:
With 200 kW rapid charging capability, you can go from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes at a high-speed DC charger — perfect for busy professionals or family road trips.
Business lease clients will appreciate the efficiency and downtime reduction. And for personal lease customers, the long range makes the Polestar 4 an ideal companion for weekends away or long commutes.
Interior: Minimalism, Meet Luxury
Inside, the Polestar 4 is just as futuristic. The minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired cabin features:
-
A massive 15.4-inch landscape touchscreen powered by Android Automotive OS
-
A 12.3-inch digital driver display
-
Sustainable materials like recycled PET, bio-based vinyl, and optional animal welfare-certified Nappa leather
-
Ambient lighting inspired by the solar system (yes, really)
It’s a cabin that feels premium without being showy, making it just as suited to the company director as it is to the eco-conscious commuter. With no rear window, rear passengers get a cocoon-like experience with reclining seats and plenty of legroom. A panoramic roof keeps things feeling airy.
And for business lease customers ferrying colleagues or clients? Let’s just say you’ll make an impression — a good one.
Tech and Safety
Polestar has packed in the tech, including:
-
Google Assistant, Maps, and Play Store built-in
-
Over-the-air updates (your car gets better while you sleep)
-
9 airbags as standard
-
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
-
Optional Pilot Pack with LiDAR for semi-autonomous driving
Whether you’re a tech-savvy solo driver or managing a company fleet, the Polestar 4 offers peace of mind, practicality, and plenty of innovation.
Leasing the Polestar 4 with Pendle Lease
So, how does the Polestar 4 stack up in the world of car leasing?
Personal Lease
For drivers who want something different — something modern, fast, and eco-friendly — the Polestar 4 is a stellar pick. With no need to worry about resale values, battery degradation, or committing to one vehicle for 10 years, personal lease customers can enjoy the future of driving without the long-term risk.
This is a car for those who want an EV, but not the usual suspects. The Polestar 4 is less common than a Tesla Model Y, and arguably much more stylish. Plus, leasing lets you upgrade when newer models arrive (and with Polestar, they surely will).
Business Lease
Polestar’s growing EV reputation and corporate appeal make the 4 a smart move for business lease clients. It signals sustainability, innovation, and attention to employee comfort — all good things in the eyes of stakeholders and customers.
Lower running costs, 2% Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax (correct at time of writing), and zero emissions mean this EV could be the perfect fit for company directors and fleet managers alike.
At Pendle Lease, we offer tailored Polestar 4 lease deals to suit both personal and business customers. Whether you’re seeking flexible terms, maintenance packages, or advice on which version suits you best, our expert team is ready to help you make the smart move.
Final Verdict: Is the Polestar 4 Worth the Hype?
If you’re after a car that turns heads, performs with precision, and makes a bold EV statement — all while keeping your carbon footprint in check — the Polestar 4 delivers. It may not be the most practical EV for everyone, and the lack of a rear window might take some getting used to, but this is a car that leads the charge in more ways than one.
For those exploring car leasing in 2025, this isn’t just an electric car — it’s a new way of thinking about driving.
