As the auto industry transitions to EVs, SUV-styled station wagons are coming back into focus. Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Opel, and several other brands already offer long-roofed EVs, while many others are planning such models.
Polestar has confirmed that it is introducing an SUV derived from the Polestar 4, which feels more like a wagon than a crossover. Here’s everything we know and expect from the upcoming Polestar 4 SUV:
Design
The Polestar 4 SUV will embody the brand’s current design language, sporting the same aerodynamic body and powerful proportions.
As shown in our exclusive renderings, at the front, we expect a low-set hood, dual blade headlamps inspired by the Polestar Precept, a covered nose section with an illuminated brand logo, and an A-shaped functional grille.
The side profile will blend SUV and wagon traits rather than follow a traditional station wagon form. That said, it will not sit low or feature a wide rear quarter glass or an upright D-pillar like a typical European wagon.
Retractable door handles, flush glazing with frameless windows, and 22-inch wheels are among the highlights that we expect.
Unlike the Polestar 4, its SUV version will feature a back glass, improving rearward visibility and comfort for rear passengers. Vertical aero blades, a clean tailgate with minimal surfacing, and a full-width light bar are among the other expected design details at the rear.
Interior
The interior of the Polestar 4 SUV will follow the same reductive design as the current model. This layout should continue using sustainably sourced materials such as fully vegan ‘MicroTech’ upholstery and technical mesh textiles. A discreet ambient lighting system should softly illuminate key areas of the dashboard, center console, and door panels.
Information and controls should largely rely on a spread of digital displays, including a 10.2-inch instrument cluster, a 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 14.7-inch head-up display, and a 5.7-inch rear comfort touchscreen.
The front seats should come with 12-way power adjustment, manual leg cushion extension, and easy ingress/egress function, massage, heating, and ventilation functions. In the rear, a dedicated third climate zone and power reclining and heating functions should be the highlights in terms of comfort.
During my time with the Polestar 4, I found the front seats to offer strong back and shoulder support, which should carry over to the SUV for long-distance comfort. The screen-heavy interior delivered a clean layout but required using the touchscreen for most controls, and I expect this setup to remain unchanged.
In the rear, knee room and back support felt good, and I expect the SUV to offer a similarly comfortable second row, bettered with a longer roofline.
While the Polestar 4 offers 18.6 cu. ft. of cargo space, its SUV version could offer around 22 cu. ft. of cargo space. The capacity with the rear seat folded could be around 60 cu. ft. instead of the SUV-coupe’s 54.2 cu. ft.
Specifications
The Polestar 4 SUV has been confirmed in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD variants. The base variant should have 200 kW (268 hp) and 253 lb.-ft. of torque and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in close to 7 seconds. The top variant may pack 506 lb.-ft. of torque and hit 0 to 60 mph in just under 4 seconds.
Both configurations should feature a 100 kWh module-less battery pack that supports charging at up to 11 kW (AC)/200 kW (DC). Fully charging it via an AC charger may take 11 hours, while charging from 10% to 80% SoC via a DC charger may take 30 minutes.
The brand has confirmed that the Polestar 4 SUV will deliver up to 630 km/391 miles (WLTP) in rear-motor variants, and up to 544 hp in AWD variants.
Production
Polestar will outsource production of the 4 SUV to Renault Korea, which will build the model at its Busan factory. Polestar’s parent company, Geely Auto, holds a 34.02% stake in Renault Korea.
Price & Release Date
During an online media interaction in February 2026, Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller confirmed that the Polestar 4 Wagon (as it was then called) is “absolutely” arriving in the U.S. However, the brand announced plans to exit the U.S. market in June 2026, ending any prospect of the model arriving here.
The Polestar 4 SUV could begin at close to GBP 60,000 (USD 80,718) in the UK market. Polestar has said that it will begin sales on September 2. European countries should get the wagon-like SUV first, well ahead of the BMW i3 Touring, followed by other global markets.
