2025 Polestar 4's Final Pricing Reveals Higher Base MSRP, But It's Still a Decent Deal
The 2025 Polestar 4 is a quick and quirky coupe-bodied luxury electric SUV. While somewhat compact, the 4 enjoys a super-long wheelbase and is still able to seat five, jumps out of the gate like a scalded dog, and comes with an uncommon feature: no rear glass. It's a rather fun-to-drive all-electric SUV with an unusual, almost car-like shape—so how much will it cost?
At our First Drive of the 2025 Polestar 4, we were told to expect the performance-focused SUV to start at around $56,300 for the single-motor, rear-wheel-drive model with its conventional suspension system and $64,300 for the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive variant with air suspension and semi-active dampers. With the Polestar 4 now on sale, it appears those prices have gone up slightly.
The entry-level Polestar 4 now runs $57,800, including destination charges; the dual-motor AWD Polestar 4's price hasn't changed, so it still costs $64,300. The single-motor 4's new price tag closes the gap between it and the dual-motor version to just $6,500.
That's still a decent amount of room between the two, but close enough that choosing between the two versions will come down to each buyer's priorities. If that's driving range, then the base Polestar 4's extra 30 miles of range (the two 4s share the same 400-volt, 100-kWh battery pack) and lower price make it an easy choice. If you're looking for ultimate speed (such as the dual motor 4's claimed 3.7-second zero-to-60-mph time), a 3,500-pound towing capacity, and a more adaptive suspension, then the dual motor's price premium is easy to justify.
Something else to consider: The dual-motor Polestar 4 is the only version to offer the Performance Pack (a $4,500 add-on) that includes a sport-tuned suspension, 22-inch wheels, and Brembo four-piston front brake calipers. Selecting this option requires first spending $5,500 for the Plus Pack, meaning the ultimate Polestar 4 will cost a grand total of $74,300. In spite of the Performance Pack's name and cost (effectively an extra ten grand), however, it doesn't add any extra power—Polestar 4s so equipped make the same 544 hp and 506 lb-ft of torque as other dual-motor models.
The Plus Pack is also offered on the single-motor 4, and selecting it on either Polestar 4 opens up the option to add the electrochromic glass roof ($1,500) that electronically changes opacity at the touch of a button, color-matched bodyside moldings ($1,000) for a sleeker look, and a Nappa leather interior ($3,700). While you can only get the 22-inch Performance wheels on the AWD Performance Pack, you can get a set of 21-inch Sport wheels on the single motor version and non-Performance-Pack dual motor for $1,800 while adding the Towbar Hitch—rated as a Class 2 with its two-inch tow ball and includes a seven-pin trailer connector—at an additional $1,895.
How does this pricing compare to the vehicles the Polestar 4 competes with? Even with its higher entry price, the 2025 Polestar 4 RWD is cheaper than the internal-combustion-engine 2025 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 4Matic Coupe that starts at $60,450 while the Polestar 4 AWD is $3,850 more. When you compare to similarly sized all-electric luxury SUVs, the 2025 Polestar 4 AWD is much cheaper—try fully $16,495 less than the Porsche Macan 4 Electric ($80,795), $14,750 less than the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV 4Matic ($79,050), and $2,895 less than an entry-level dual-motor Jeep Wagoneer S ($67,195). You're also getting more power from the Polestar 4, at least compared to the Macan and EQE (the Jeep is available with up to 600 hp), though the Porsche and Jeep beat the dual-motor Polestar 4 on range. The single-motor Polestar 4, on the other hand, similarly undercuts its equivalent Mercedes-Benz EQE 350 and Porsche Macan rivals, and Jeep doesn't offer a lower-cost, single-motor Wagoneer S.
Of course, none of those electric luxury SUVs look anything like the Polestar 4, and all have conventional rear windows. But the Polestar 4 otherwise represents a decent value in its segment, at least price-wise.
