Five Features That Make the Polestar 4 Worth a Look

In this episode of Top 5 Things, we take a closer look at the Polestar 4 and highlight the features that impressed us most during our time with the car. Starting with the ambient lighting, Polestar has taken a more unique approach by using themes inspired by planets in the solar system. Combined with the bright interior, it creates a cabin that feels modern and genuinely different at night. We also spent time with the Mist Tailored Knit interior with Zinc Deco trim — a name that’s definitely a mouthful, but more importantly, it feels comfortable, premium and refreshingly bright compared to darker interiors often found in performance-focused EVs. One feature that stood out quickly in day-to-day driving was the one-pedal driving system. The regenerative braking is strong enough to bring the car to a complete stop, meaning once you get used to it, driving starts to feel smooth and effortless around town. Of course, we also had to mention the lack of a rear window. Instead of traditional rear glass, the Polestar 4 uses a solid rear panel paired with a digital rear-view mirror. It helps maintain the sleek coupe-style shape while also improving rear passenger headroom — and surprisingly, the camera system feels incredibly natural to use. Finally, there’s the performance. The long-range dual-motor version delivers 536hp and a 0–60mph time of just 3.7 seconds. It feels fast, responsive and planted, while still remaining comfortable enough for everyday cruising. At Leasing Options, our Top 5 Things series focuses on the features drivers genuinely notice when spending time with a car. Rather than diving deep into technical detail, we highlight the touches, technology and driving characteristics that help vehicles stand out in everyday use.
