Credit: SugarDesign The Polestar 4 SUV was previously seen in China multiple times during road tests. It seems that the biggest part of its development cycle was held in the Middle Kingdom. Despite this fact, it was previously reported that the Renault plant in South Korea will take care of the Polestar 4 SUV’s volume production as the ties between Geely and the French automaker are getting stronger. It is also worth noting that Polestar closed its final direct sales store in China in October 2025 due to insufficient sales volume. According to China EV DataTracker, Polestar delivered 287 units last year. Statistics for 2026 are unavailable. It seems that the Polestar 4 SUV won’t try to win back China, as other automakers have superior technology, including 800V platforms and advanced assisted driving systems.
