I took the rear-windowless Polestar 4 on a three-day road trip – here’s why ditching the back glass was a good (and bad) idea

The Polestar 4 has arrived in Europe first and Australia only a couple of months later.

Unlike the 2 , it was developed on an EV -only platform.

The car is more luxurious, inheriting a change in focus at the Swedish automaker.

The 4 adopts a unique coupe-SUV design that makes its shape different to most things on the road.

It packs a bunch of interesting features that justify its higher price point.

Unlike a Tesla , there’s also support for using an iPhone to connect via Apple CarPlay , with Android Auto (the lighter, phone-based Android interface) in development for the car.

The Polestar 4 is one of the best-feeling electric cars I’ve ever driven.

The long range, rear-wheel-drive model that I tested never felt heavy or sluggish.

Despite the car feeling pleasant to drive and not cumbersome, the goal of creating an SUV-coupe has come with its own shortcomings.

The Polestar 4 is the luxury EV that other carmakers will aspire to beat.
