Polestar Opens Orders in Australia for 2027 Polestar 4 With Chassis-Focused Refresh

The company says the revisions sharpen handling, simplify options, lower production-stage emissions, thereby boosting the model's appeal in the midsize EV market.

Overview

  • Polestar opened orders on Wednesday for the 2027 (MY27) Polestar 4 in Australia with the entry Rear motor priced at $78,500 before on-road costs and deliveries scheduled for July–August 2026.
  • The update centers on chassis recalibration with revised spring rates, new high-capacity passive dampers, changed anti-roll bar settings, polyurethane rebound stops and a new steering tune to deliver a more controlled ride and crisper steering.
  • Polestar simplified the line-up to Rear motor, Dual motor and Dual motor with Performance pack, added a Comfort pack, repriced the Plus pack to $6,500, removed the Pro pack and made 22kW AC charging a standalone $900 option.
  • Powertrains and headline performance are unchanged: the Rear motor keeps a 200 kW/343 Nm motor with a claimed 0–100 km/h of 7.1 seconds and WLTP 620 km range, while the Dual motor remains 400 kW/686 Nm with 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and WLTP 590 km range.
  • Polestar says cradle-to-gate carbon footprints have fallen to 20.3 tonnes CO2-e for Dual motor cars and 19.4 tonnes for Rear motor cars, the Polestar 4 remains the brand's best-selling model in Australia and Polestar has confirmed a related crossover variant is due late 2026 to early 2027.
