The Polestar 4 electric coupe SUV has been spied testing in China for the first time, according to a Weibo user.

- Polestar 4 coupe SUV potentially spied for the first time
- Smaller, lower, sleeker footprint compared to Polestar 3
- Expected to debut this year
It appears to have a smaller, lower footprint than the forthcoming Polestar 3 large SUV, with a sloping crossover-style roofline similar to the Jaguar I-Pace and Kia EV6, and the same split headlight signature as previewed with the Polestar 5 electric sedan set to follow in 2024.
The Sino-Swedish automaker is expected to debut its fourth vehicle later this year with a similar powertrain setup to its Polestar 3 counterpart.
The photographer snapped it next to the Zeeker 001 and other Geely models – all corporate stablemates to Polestar and Volvo Cars.
For reference, the Polestar 3 is based on the dedicated SPA2 electric vehicle platform shared with the flagship Volvo EX90 luxury electric SUV, using a 111kWh battery to deliver an estimated 610 kilometre driving range on the WLTP testing cycle.
On the flagship Long Range Dual Motor variant with the optional Performance Pack fitted, it produces 380kW of power and 910Nm of torque and is all-wheel drive.
Before these bespoke Polestar EVs, though, a major update to the Polestar 2 liftback is coming locally in the second-half of this year.
It brings a revised front grille design, larger battery on the long range variants, shifts to rear-wheel drive on single motor configurations, more power, faster charging and more standard safety assistance equipment, but adaptive cruise control will still be an option under the Pilot Pack.
