Polestar announced it has officially opened up sales of its long-promised 4 crossover SUV as a 2026 model, available to US customers starting today. Below, we’ve included performance specs and pricing separated by each model variant.

The Polestar 4 is the, you guessed it, fourth model from the Geely-owned, Swedish-designed automaker. The 4 was unveiled in 2023 before it kicked off production in China later that year.

Those EVs were followed by deliveries to Europe and Australia in 2024, although US customers have had to continue to wait. In April 2024, Polestar said it was officially opening orders for the 4 in the US, starting at $54,900 and available in eight (yes, eight) different variants, built in North America.

Deliveries were expected to follow in Q2 2025, but Polestar faced several hurdles, including the appointment of a new CEO and the looming threat of tariffs from the Trump Administration. As such, Polestar has regrouped and returned with updated timelines for its latest model.

As of this morning, the Polestar 4 is on sale in the US as a 2026 model that will initially be assembled in Korea. It starts at $56,400. You can learn more below.

The 2026 Polestar 4 is FINALLY on sale in North America

Per the automaker, the 2026 Polestar 4 is officially on sale in the United States and can now be configured at Polestar.com. When it was still a 2025 model, Polestar said the 4 would be built alongside its 3 sibling in North America, but things have changed, at least as US sales begin.

2026 Polestar 4 EVs destined for North America will instead be built in Busan, South Korea. Per the head of Polestar North America, Rick Bryant:

Following the successful launch of Polestar 4 in other markets around the world, we  are thrilled to open the order books for the 2026 Polestar 4 in North America, which will  all be built in Busan, South Korea. Polestar 4 confidently enters the premium performance class within the D-SUV  segment. Our SUV coupe’s innovative design offers generous interior space and a  stunning appearance. Coupled with the assembled-in-the-U.S. Polestar 3, we now offer  two dynamic SUV options for North American customers

As a 2026 model, Polestar appears to have slightly trimmed down its 4 variants, now offering five options for North American customers. Here’s how they break down:

You can see how the promised initial variants compare here. It looks like Polestar nixed any variant that initially had a “Pro Pack.” The automaker has also removed the Long Range Single Motor trim, which was supposed to start at an MSRP of $54,900. That’s why the current MSRPs seem higher, albeit only slightly if at all.

Polestar pointed out that its Long Range Dual Motor variant of the 2026 4 is its fastest production model to date, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. I’d take that all day.

Production for North American customers of the 2026 Polestar 4 is expected to begin in South Korea this summer, followed by initial customer deliveries this fall. What do you guys think? Will the Polestar 4 be worth the wait?

Tesla’s sales continue to crash in Europe despite the availability of the new Model Y and record discounts.

However, the automaker clings to a good month in Norway, which is not particularly impressive in comparison and could prove to be a fluke.

More data is starting to come from European markets about Tesla sales from May.

Yesterday, we reported on Tesla’s disastrous performance in France, which was even worse than the first quarter despite the new Model Y now being available.

Now, the latest data confirms that similar declines are continuing for Tesla in Europe in Belgium, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, and other markets:

The only two markets that haven’t seen declines in May are Norway and Austria.

While Tesla isn’t commenting on any of the markets where its sales are crashing, the automaker quickly promoted its surprising performance in Norway:

However, it is worth nothing that the 213% increase in deliveries is compared to a particularly bad May 2024 for Tesla.

For comparison, here are Tesla’s deliveries in the second month of each quarter over the prior two years:

It’s clear that the anomaly was more with May 2024 than incredible performance in May 2025 – even though there’s no doubt that Tesla’s sales have recovered in Norway last month.

That’s partly due to Tesla offering record discounts, including zero-interest financing on the new Model Y.

The automaker has been offering similar incentives throughout Europe, but it isn’t having as much success with it.

With most of the data from the month of May coming in, Tesla’s Q2 deliveries in Europe are currently tracking below the already disastrous Q1 performance, which Tesla blamed on the Model Y changeover.

Electrek’s Take

Tesla can try to frame this however it wants, but the data is clear: Tesla’s sales are dropping like a rock in Europe despite the availability of the new Model Y and record incentives like zero-interest financing.

2,500 Norwegians buying Tesla vehicles in May isn’t compensating for the declines in other markets and I doubt that the surge in May in Norway is going to be sustainable in the second half, especially if Tesla ends the zero-interest financing when it claims it will at the end of the quarter.

At this point, what Tesla needs in Europe is to be completely dissociated from its CEO and a more updated EV lineup that includes smaller and more affordable vehicles, like the Kia EV3, Volve EX30, etc.

Unfortunately, its CEO is too focused on false promises regarding autonomy to bring those vehicles to market.
