They’ve 4 doorways and trip excessive like SUVs however have the low-slung, aerodynamic traces of sportier coupes. Assume BMW X4 and Audi Q5 Sportback.
The Polestar 4 is maybe the coupiest of them, sitting low sufficient to the bottom to name the “SUV” half into query.
Its most uncommon trait, although, is its rear window. It lacks one.
You see what’s behind you because of a roof-mounted digicam. Polestar says it allows “a far wider area of view in contrast to what’s present in most trendy autos.” KBB’s Colin Ryan has pushed it and says the impact works nicely, and means rear-seat passengers don’t present up in your mirror view.
The design is in any other case smooth, with a needle-nose profile (for a crossover, should you’re keen to stipulate that it counts as one) and hammerhead headlights.
