Hey Jordan, it's great to see you back in front of the camera. I appreciate your journalistic style.

It has to be one of the most stylish EV manufacturing car companies. Their designs are so hot. The missing back window has helped make the rear of the car look so sleek and very unique.

I agree. Jordan is a superb presenter. And he managed to cover everything I was curious about.

Thanks, Jordan, for another RELEVANT video! Kyle has gotten SO FAR OUT INTO THE WEEDS with his $100,000 to million-dollar "race cars," I've virtually stopped watching Out of Spec content over the past year or more. Thanks for bringing me back!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve looked through the rear glass window to check. I’ll look over both shoulders to check for oncoming cars, but I always use a backup camera, as it gives a wider, clearer view behind me. Rear window or not, who cares.

I prefer the camera mirror anyway! Seems like the experiment to get you more rear space was a success.

Polestar is really going in an interesting direction. Building out a real portfolio of vehicles. I like the numbering system, but it should make more sense in terms of size of car IMO. Hoping they keep the 2 in the line-up as an "entry-level" hatch long term. Also let's see if they are brave (foolish?) enough to bring a real wagon to the market. That's the dream!

@@TuomasLeone the numbers refer to the models when released. I doubt they will make it that high when they've already got all the major bases covered aside from a truck or van. The Polestar 2 has already been refreshed. It's simply the 2024 Polestar 2. Considering the advancements between each model I'd say the model number matters unless you're decided on a particular vehicle type. The Polestar 4 is more advanced than any of there vehicles so far. It builds on the 1, 2 and 3 models while bridging the gap between the 5 & 6 coming next.

Great video, as always! The concept of rear view camera and no rear window is 100% right, but the rear mirror screen shouldn't sit in the roof but be integrated in the center infotainment screen. Why, you say? Progressive glasses. Yes, progressive glasses. A lot of people ion the target group have progressive glasses, allowing you to focus (your old and tired 40+yo eyes) on things far away in the upper region and nearer things in the lower region of the glass. For these people (yes, me included) focusing on something less than a meter away that sits in the roof just doesn't work without changing glasses or pointing your nose upward (and thus losing focus on the road). What polestar should do is to present an option in the menus, mirroring (haha pun not intended) the rear view in an area of the center screen.

Love everything about it!

I like the way Jordan speaks

Really excited for this car, wish you had mentioned the ride quality when they took you out.

Thanks for explaining the digital rear view.

Amazing design. Good walk through of the car.

missing back window, super weird... I don't know if I could get use to it? is there blind spots LOL Great job you guys!!

I was there, too, as a happy Polestar owner. Was a fun event and I enjoyed seeing the 5 and riding in the Polestar 3 & 4. Thanks for the invitation, Polestar, and thanks to Jordan and OoSR for another great review. I'm considering the 4 as the future replacement of my 2. BTW, my husband's Silverado has the camera rear-view mirror and he never switches it to the glass mirror mode, so it must be good enough even in the rain and at night. FWIW, the Polestar team member driver for my ride-along mentioned that the rear-view mirror can flip to mirror mode so the driver can make eye-contact with the rear-seat passengers/back-seat children.

Love how this car look

Polestar's only issue is their pricing. P2 and P4 should start a bit lower imo.

@Isaac-un4cn

Agree, especially P2, when you consider that it's a compromised car in terms of interior space. However, in their latest earnings call, they said their gross margin is only 1%, so they can't afford to reduce prices without taking a loss on every car they make.

I actually love this car as it is they could totally release it like this and it would be gr8

I actually like the idea of having no back glass. It’s quirky but offers a lot of benefits. I would consider one but efficiency is such a let down. Just throwing a big battery at it is not a valid solution. This get about the same range as my Kona with 35 extra KWhs. (Yes I understand it’s bigger and more powerful but still.)

@Kurre.

8 ай бұрын

You do know that the kona is that efficient because its light!? Kia and Hyundais large cars have unfortunately been seriously inefficient. I recently drove a Kia EV9 here in Sweden and it got 21 kWh/100km at parking lot speeds which is awful. The polestar 3 manages 21 kWh/100 at motorway speeds…

I am in love P4! I have Volvo C40 that has rear window but it’s small and if headrests are up or there is somebody sitting on rear seat you cannot see nothing. I also hate to see audirings and bimmerpropeller at rear view mirror so I have adjusted it showing the sky from panorama window. Actually when you have proper side mirrors and blind spot warning, 360 cameras and cross traffic warning, you don’t need rear view mirror and rear window anymore.

I recently added PSNY shares. Hopefully they fixed the gap variations between panels and doors. Paint quality is amazing. The exterior and interior is just stunning. 😍

I’m actually digging this new model. Glad they’ve move the infotainment screen horizontally. I’m looking to get my first car after 12 years without one and am excited to see what electric cars are becoming. Was considering Tesla X but is it really worth it for the price?!

I really like the rear view camera

It isn’t difficult to add a pressurised water jet to clean the review camera mirror. Land Rover has been fitting a washer jet to their back up cameras for years now, not to their Clearsight rooftop rear view cam mirrors because you don’t need one that high up. Also on more recent cars JLR allows you to view the back up cam all the time while driving if you want to.

I really want to know if this has an integrated front and rear dash cam. Dash cam is a must for me. I would normally be cool with installing myself. But, without a rear window, I need Polestar to have one that comes with the car.

My lease is up on my P*2 at the end of 2024. Im really excited by this car, but I’m also kinda holding my breath for a revamped 2 on a dedicated platform.

LOVE YOUR POLESTAR HAT!!

If I can get passed the lack of physical rear-window, think I might trade-in my P2 for this.

Love the digital rearview camera

Looks like the almost 5 year old Jaguar I pace has a doppelganger... especially side profile and back

It will constitute a qualitative leap and shift in design and engineering in the automotive industry. The best shape ever, these are the cars of the future

Does it have double glazed windows both front and back?

I really like this - I’ve had a Polestar 2 for 3 years now, which is going back before Xmas. I wanted a Polestar 3 as a replacement but that was delayed until Q4 2024, so I went with a BMW iX, which is being delivered in 3 weeks. For my next car I’m looking at a Lotus Eletre, Polestar 3 or this Polestar 4. Polestar making some desirable cars !

Hammer Design.

Loved the car!!!!

Is the camera on the rear window heated? For example, in Norway it often happens that the snow that falls is slightly wet and in the morning at in the morning it is very frosty, so there will be a lot of ice on the rear camera that cannot be removed manually. Did the manufacturer remedy this somehow?

my next car for sure

I think it no rear window and camera is great! If there was a rear view window it would be limited visibility anyway.

I would love polestar 4 to have rear glass. They acually can make the panaromic glass all the way to the back , but the trunk door will be a lot smaller .

Does anyone remember the Jaguar i-Pace? One might be excused for believing they just tweaked that design and did something weird with the rear hatch. I prefer the look of the i-Pace.

Getting one

RIDE is the same as LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION for me - lousy ride and noise, no deal. These guys need to remember that they are making cars and not iPhones on wheels.

Thanks for the review. When you are assessing space, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us some context. We can see you are not fat or especially broad, but what is your height? We don't have the pleasure of knowing you personally, so don't know if you are 5ft or 7ft. Just saying 'this is fantastic... there is so much headroom' makes little sense without a frame of reference. What is it like if you are over 6ft 5? Average sized viewers probably don't care as they rarely struggle for space or subsequent comfort, but those of us gifted with extra height, width or odd body shapes really want to know how comfortable it might be for our needs. I do hope this is taken constructively, I have no intention of knocking what is a very watchable and informative video from one of my favourite channels. I loved your Polestar range recap at the end, thanks.

Jordan go open the blazer EV charge port. It opens even slower.

Keep it numeric.

Great video. My next car! (Big sis to my Polestar2)

Finding a place to take a polestar for service is kinda wild though, no? In NY state, I think there’s one location outside of Manhattan, just 2 in the entire state. And I don’t see a single Polestar location in the USA that exists west of Cincinnati. How does that work? Can you take it to Volvo?

I have the Polestar 2 and it’s a great drive so far, but I’m definitely upgrading to the Polestar 4 once my lease ends. Really don’t mind the lack of rear window, but I love SUV coupes and this feels like it’s the perfect combo size of sporty crossover and big sedan.

Good to get rid of the rear window as long as I can get something in return -- that is to get more storage room in the trunk. I only look at the rear view mirror, not the rear window anyway.

Jordan ❤❤❤ I love your reviews. You need to do them more often.

What I don't understand is, without a rear glass but with the digital mirror which uses a camera, what happens when the camera lens is wet during rain or snow? That camera will be useless which means the digital rear view mirror is also useless. Am I wrong in thinking this?

As a @GenesisUSA GV-60 owner the moment we got to the headlights I was rolling my eyes and muttering “how original”, then we got to 2:40 and I 😂 Lower side trim to achieve slimming effect… even less original Electro chromatic roof is cool. Bar taillight.

Thicker bezels on displays add a feel of solidity.. I s a Volvo type thing and I hope they don't drift too far away from the core look and feel

It really looks like a solid built car. If it was an SUV I would seriously consider it. Intresting design though......

Please tell me you’re doing one for the polestar 3 performance too. I have one ordered. It’s coming second quarter 2024. I can’t wait.

I would prefer a longer(wider) rear view monitor device to feel width of the rear window.

Front lights very Urus looking which is a compliment.

On exterior styling: 4 > 3. If I knew nothing about either models, I’d guess the 4 was the pricier Polestar.

The usb-c is labeled with 60w I believe

Promising vehicle. Like the design, it's so weird in the back that that's what attracts me to it Not better than the BMW iX, but somehow close. I would consider it

Heavy rain on the way in?

I love the car, the looks and specs. The fast charging at max 200kwh/400volt charging is a missed change. Only the higher models will get the 800volt charging. I hope with an update with 2025/2026 will upgrade to 800volt.

So where is the logic in allowing digital rear view mirror but not side view?

looks like the dual motor is 316 miles of range, id guess the rear wheel drive is between 330-350.

The problem I'm having is all the talk of no rear window dominating the impressions of this car. The biggest takeaway I take from the Polestar 4 is it has the same problem as the new Volvo EM90. It's not as obvious but it is really more based on a Zeekr design than a Polestar/Volvo design. I don't care about the platform because you can tweak the chassis to drive the way a signature brand drives. And motors and such don't matter as much as engines. The SEA had a Swedish head engineer anyway and it is solid. But this car has a different feel to it than does the 2, 3, and upcoming 5 and 6 as from what we know of them so far, they follow the formula of other Polestars. I do like that it looks like a sedan but I'd rather a non-bloated tall sedan. Still, good enough. This is potentially Polestar's best seller.
