First Aussie drive of the Macan EV challenger (Polestar 4 2024 Review)

After it was initially due to arrive in August, the 2024 Polestar 4 electric midsize coupe-SUV has finally arrived in Australia in November…just in time to be called an MY25.

While the local range kicks off at $78,500 for the Long Range Single Motor, right in Tesla Model Y territory, our 400kW Dual Motor on test clocks in at $88,350 before options.

Add Plus ($8000) and Performance pack ($7200) add-ons and the newcomer really makes a more logical cross-shop against the likes of BMW iX3, Audi Q4 E-tron and the soon-to-launch Porsche Macan EV. Call it around $112K with all the good stuff.

Chasing Cars contributor Nathan Ponchard takes the new third model in the local Polestar lineup for a spin to see how the newcomer fares on Aussie roads on its Euro correct suspension, and assesses whether or not there’s merit in Polestar 4’s premium, luxury and performance-infused EV pitch.
