Sleek, spacious and packed with tech, the Polestar 4 redefines the electric coupe but its missing rear window is a bold move that not every driver will love. What is it? Polestar’s fourth model is billed as a sleek, all-electric coupe — but with one very noticeable quirk: it has no rear window. Instead, drivers get a camera feed where the rear-view mirror usually lives. The brand argues this design improves headroom, boosts aerodynamics, and keeps passengers more comfortable. In practice, though, it takes some getting used to. Like a van driver, you’ll find yourself relying heavily on the door mirrors.

On the road, the Polestar 4 feels planted thanks to its low centre of gravity. The steering is nicely weighted, the handling assured, and while it isn’t particularly sporty, it strikes a balance between firmness and comfort. What About Inside? Step inside and things improve dramatically. The cabin is bright, airy, and cleverly designed. Buyers can opt for sustainable materials including textiles made from recycled PET bottles, bio-attributed MicroTech, or traced wool, alongside the more traditional Nappa leather. At the centre sits a huge 15.4-inch touchscreen running Google’s built-in software. It’s intuitive and responsive, though its lack of physical buttons may frustrate some drivers. For back-seat passengers, there’s even an optional entertainment screen (less fun for the driver when the kids take control...
