Used Polestar 4 for sale

What types of used Polestar 4 cars are there?

The Polestar 4 arrived in 2024 at a similar time to the more conventional-looking Polestar 3. It introduced a whole new, tech-first look for Polestar, following on from the huge success of the Polestar 2.

Described as a coupé-SUV, it combines the looks of a coupé with the five-door, big-boot practicality of an SUV.

Polestar 4 history

It's still a pretty new car, but there've been plenty of meaningful upgrades over time.

> Polestar 4 (2024) – the unique-looking '4' went on sale with rear- and all-wheel drive

> Updated Polestar 4 (2026) – some minor revisions to the car's setup and trims/options

> Polestar 4 SUV (2026) – Polestar added a more upright SUV model alongside the regular model, now named 'Polestar 4 Coupé'

What features does the Polestar 4 have?

One of the Polestar 4's most unusual features is the lack of a rear windscreen – instead, it just uses a digital rear-view mirror via a live camera feed. That's a unique feature to the '4 Coupé' because the '4 SUV' has a glass rear windscreen.

Though Polestar does now sell the Polestar 4 with a rear window, should you want it.

There's also plenty of tech inside, including a large central touchscreen running very responsive Android Automotive software with built-in Google services.

Depending on model year and trim, the '4' comes with things like a head-up display, Harman Kardon audio, electrically reclining rear seats, a rear control screen and heating for the seats and steering wheel.

Is the Polestar 4 reliable?

Being an electric car, there's a lot fewer moving parts underneath to go wrong in the first place. It's also a tech-first car, which means any minor niggles get responded to efficiently via over-the-air (OTA) updates.

Safety is another strong point, because the Polestar 4 achieved the maximum five-star rating from Euro NCAP.

How much does the Polestar 4 cost to run?

With a large 100kWh battery, Polestar says a range of very nearly 400 miles could be possible, and 200kW rapid charging provides a 10-80% top-up in around 30 minutes.

Charging at home should make running costs much lower, but beware that some elements like insurance and tyres could cost more due to the car's value, weight and performance.

Who is the Polestar 4 suitable for?

A used Polestar 4 could be the perfect car for families who need something spacious and comfortable, but it also makes a lot of sense for long distance commuters and businesspeople.

It faces SUV competition from the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q6 e-tron, as well as saloon competition from the BMW i5 and Audi A6 e-tron.
