Polestar Recalibrates Polestar 4 Coupe as Prices Fall and Busan Output Secures Market Access

Overview

• Polestar opened Canadian orders for the MY27 Polestar 4 coupe on Wednesday with headline prices of C$67,700 for the rear‑motor and C$72,700 for the dual‑motor, each figure including a C$2,800 destination charge.
• Polestar cut Australian coupe prices effective Sept. 2 by up to A$4,600 to match the newly launched Polestar 4 SUV, with rear‑motor and dual‑motor variants now starting at A$73,900 and A$81,750 respectively.
• The MY27 update centers on a chassis recalibration that uses higher‑capacity passive dampers, revised spring and anti‑roll bar rates, and polyurethane rebound stops to sharpen steering and control ride without changing powertrain outputs.
• Building the Polestar 4 at Renault Korea’s Busan plant keeps the model outside Canada’s quota on Chinese‑built EVs and outside the U.S. connected‑vehicle restriction, letting Polestar sell the updated coupe in Canada while the U.S. remains closed for 2027 connected models.
• Polestar simplified trim names and kept existing option packs and performance specs, reported a small cut in cradle‑to‑gate CO2e for the coupe, and faces narrower U.S. access alongside weaker H1 2026 profitability that makes overseas volume and pricing alignment commercially important.
