Polestar, a Swedish automotive manufacturer owned by Volvo Cars, is set to bring its all-electric Sports Utility Vehicle to South Korea. The company specializing in EV production will release its Polestar 4 electric vehicle model in the country in June.
The Korea Herald reported that Polestar will soon deliver the coupe-style pure electric SUV to the Korean market. The company's Korean unit confirmed on Friday, April 19, that Polestar 4 is coming and that it will be its second EV model to debut in the region.
Polestar 4's Late Launch in Korea
While this is the first time Polestar has introduced its pure electric SUV to the Korean market, the Polestar 4 EV has been around for a year already. It was first unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023 and went on sale in Australia and Europe earlier this year. It is finally landing in the country, and automotive enthusiasts are excited.
"The Polestar 4 is an all-around premium EV that has an outstanding commercial value in many aspects ranging from design, performance, sustainability, safety, spaciousness and advanced driver assistance system," Polestar Korea's managing director, Ham Jong Sung, said in a statement. "We are working on various preparatory measures such as certification, and we will do our best to launch the vehicle in June and deliver it to customers in October."
Special Features of Polestar 4 EV
One of the unique features of Polestar's electric SUV is that it does not have a rear window. The EV maker explained that it was designed this way so there would be more space in the second row.
Korea Joongang Daily further reported that the world's first mass-market EV unit has a very smooth roof line, with the glass panel stretching above the passengers' heads while making room for spacious reclining rear seats.
Moreover, according to Europe's Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) standards, it is powered by a 100-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery that allows Polestar 4 to travel up to 610 kilometers on a single charge. Lastly, the Polestar 4 SUV is built on Polestar's EV-dedicated platform, the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA).
