Image Credit: Cars Uncovered/YouTubeEarlier this year, Polestar announced that it would stop selling cars in the United States beginning with the 2027 model year. This was because the US Department of Commerce did not grant it authorization to do so under the new US Connected Vehicles Rule.In short, this restricts the import and sale of certain cars that have vehicle technology linked to both China and Russia. Polestar is owned by Volvo and Geely, which is a Chinese company. Volvo itself was allowed to carry on selling its cars in America at the end of May this year.For now, Polestar will sell the existing stock of Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 models until supply has dried up. Given that 94 percent of its sales in the first quarter of 2026 were outside America, it might not feel like it is a big deal.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor consumers, there is a massive upside to this. Because now, you can buy a Polestar 4 with a discount roughly the equivalent of a Toyota Corolla. That is a potential saving of around $25,000 on what the cars cost originally, as the company looks to shift its remaining stock.How Does the Polestar Discount Work?Image Credit: PolestarHead to the Polestar website, and there is something called a "$25,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive." This is applied towards a cash purchase of the cars and is valid from July 1st to July 31st, 2026. While only eligible if you pay for a Polestar 4 in cash, it knocks a massive $25,000 off the price of the car, be it the dual motor or rear motor model.At the time of writing, a rear-motor Polestar 4 would cost $56,400 without the discount, and this drops to $31,400 with the discount applied. For the dual motor model, the original price was $62,900, and that now drops to an amazing $37,900 with the discount. The current Toyota Corolla has a starting MSRP of $23,125, so you are saving more than the cost of a Toyota on the EVs.That is an insane saving. It gets better when you look at the stats for the two cars. The rear motor car will get you 310 miles of range, with the dual motor offering 280 miles. The latter is also more powerful, with 544hp compared to the 272hp in the rear motor Polestar 4. If anyone in America is considering buying their very first EV, then this is an incredible way to break into the segment and save a ton of money at the same time.Polestar Is Offering Other Incentives for BuyersImage Credit: PolestarShould you not be able to pay for the cars with cash, or not be willing to, then there are other offers from Polestar as it looks to shift its remaining stock. For example, you could have $19,000 cash applied towards a lease. Another is $18,000 cash with a zero percent APR for up to 60 months. You can also get a $1,000 loyalty bonus towards a purchase or lease of a Polestar EV.AdvertisementAdvertisementSome may find the leasing option incredibly attractive, especially as support for the cars might be a problem when they pull out of the American market. A long-range single-motor version of the Polestar 4 could cost $399 per month for 39 months, with just a $1,000 down payment and the $19,000 incentive. But there is still a chance Volvo will be able to service Polestar cars when the brand is out of North America. So it might not be all bad news for those buying one, or for those who already have one.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
