The Polestar 4 more directly rivals the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6 GT, Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, and a growing group of go-fast electric crossovers.

The driving range of all-wheel-drive versions has improved as well, and a new front-end design more cleanly packages active-safety hardware.

In what appears to be a North American market first for EVs, Polestar is offering the upgrade on a wide range of Polestar 2 dual-motor cars going back to the 2021 model year.

The Polestar 3 is twinned with Polestar parent Volvo's upcoming electric successor to the XC90, recently confirmed to be called EX90. They're set to be made at the same facility, but Polestar promises many of its own core EV components.

The U.S.-made electric SUV will be shown and detailed on October 12, the brand revealed—with a Performance Pack option, air suspension, adaptive damping, and clutch-based torque vectoring.

That would undercut the BMW iX M60, Audi E-Tron S, and Tesla Model X if performance is a priority for the entry model.

The flagship EV expected for 2024 takes aim at the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, and Mercedes-Benz EQS.

The Polestar 5 is due to go on sale in 2024 and is heavily based on the Precept concept. Rivals might include the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, Mercedes EQS, and Porsche Taycan.

The fully electric Polestar 3 will be built in South Carolina and could be an alternative to the BMW iX M60, Audi E-Tron S, and Tesla Model X Plaid.

Remember Tesla's $1,000 incentives for referrals? You won't find that, but Polestar wants to recognize the power of word-of-mouth marketing for its electric cars.

Building on plans to add Tesla vehicles to the Hertz EV fleet, the Polestar 2 electric hatch will be to regular renters as well as ride-hailing drivers.

The base single-motor Polestar 2 will start at $47,200 and offer an EPA range of up to 270 miles.

Is the Polestar O2 hinting at an EV that might rival the Tesla Roadster? The Porsche 911? Yes and yes.

The EV maker Polestar maintains that planting trees won't make a sustainable car—and it's looking to some well-known suppliers for the project.

Polestar is showing its independence in electric vehicle development—to be pushed to new levels with the upcoming Polestar 5 fastback.
