Who it suits. Drivers wanting an all-wheel-drive electric SUV Owners who can charge at 240 volts overnight Buyers comfortable with a 255-mile EPA range
The Polestar 4 makes sense for an electric-SUV buyer who can live with 255 miles between full charges and an 11-hour 240-volt charging period. All-wheel drive adds a clear drivetrain choice, while 77 MPGe combined and 44 kWh per 100 miles describe its energy use. EPA puts annual fuel spending at $1,000. Pick it when those range and charging numbers fit your routine, not when you need fast charging or more distance than this battery estimate provides.
What it is
This 2026 Polestar 4 is a standard sport utility vehicle with all-wheel drive. It runs on electricity and uses a 200 kW PMSM motor system with an automatic transmission.
Its defining EPA number is a 255-mile range. That is the estimated distance on a full charge.
The numbers
EPA rates the Polestar 4 at 77 MPGe combined. Energy use is 44 kWh per 100 miles.
The 255-mile range suits drivers who can charge regularly and plan longer trips around charging stops.
What it costs to run
EPA estimates yearly fuel cost at $1,000. Here, fuel means electricity rather than gasoline.
Charging at 240 volts takes 11 hours. That timing makes overnight charging a practical fit for many regular routines.
How it compares
The Polestar 4 has an EPA range of 255 miles. That figure indicates the estimated distance between full charges.
Who it suits
This SUV suits a driver who wants all-wheel drive, electric operation and an EPA range of 255 miles. It also fits owners with access to 240-volt charging and time for an 11-hour full charge.
Trade-offs
The 255-mile range is useful for daily driving, but longer trips require charging plans. The 11-hour 240-volt charge time favors overnight charging rather than quick turnarounds.
Its 44 kWh-per-100-mile energy use and $1,000 EPA annual fuel estimate give you two ways to judge running costs against other electric SUVs.
Verdict
Choose this Polestar when an electric SUV with all-wheel drive matches your driving and a 255-mile charge distance is enough. Its running profile is clear: 77 MPGe combined, 44 kWh per 100 miles and an EPA annual energy estimate of $1,000. The 240-volt charging window is long, so home charging habits matter. It is a straightforward fit for drivers who value electric power and can organize regular charging around that schedule.
