The Polestar 4 splits the difference between a sleek crossover and a lower-slung four-door sports saloon. Generally, its closest rival is the Porsche Macan Electric, but the Porsche is considerably more expensive. The Polestar 4’s lack a rear window (there’s a camera system instead) is meant to be about better aerodynamics and packaging, but it’s also a heck of a talking point. The cabin is roomy and classy, and the 4 is also very rewarding to drive, with excellent range thanks to that sleek shape. A bit of a star car, really.
