Although deliveries of the 2026 Polestar 4 won’t begin until the fall, you can already place an order. All Polestar 4 models bound for the U.S. market will be manufactured in South Korea. The base price has increased by $ 1,500 since its initial release in 2024 to $57,800. The Polestar 4 had a lengthy development period before reaching production. The Swedish automaker first showed off the futuristic 4 SUV in the spring of 2023. In place of a traditional rear window, it features a digital rearview mirror. The company also said that it would go on sale in 2024. Polestar confirmed that time frame when we drove it in the summer of 2024. However, by the time 2025 came around, the Polestar 4 had not been seen in the United States. Polestar states that people in the United States can now officially place an order for the small electric SUV, although it will take several months to arrive. The delay is due to taxes imposed by the US government on cars manufactured in China. At the time of our test drive of the Polestar 4 in June 2024, Polestar stated that the first batch of cars destined for the US would be manufactured in China and that these early cars would likely face high taxes. To circumvent the tariffs imposed by the Biden administration, American production was slated to relocate to South Korea in 2025. Since then, the global political landscape has shifted, and the Trump administration has imposed tariffs on all imported cars. Polestar has announced that all four SUV models sold in the U.S. will be produced at its facility in Busan, South Korea. However, because foreign cars now face a 25% tariff, those SUVs will still have to pay additional taxes when they are imported. The power rate given differs slightly from what was initially stated for 2024. The Single Motor version now delivers 272 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque from its rear-mounted motor, an increase from the previous 268 horsepower. The Dual Motor model’s motor can now make 544 horsepower and 506 pound-feet of torque, up from 536 horsepower. Polestar states that the Dual Motor variant can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The Polestar 4’s price has changed slightly since its initial announcement in 2024, and it will now be available for the 2026 model year. The Single Motor type now costs $57,800, which is $1500 more than it did before. The Polestar 4 Dual Motor still costs $64,300 to buy. The company Polestar says that sales will start in September.
