The 2027 Polestar 4 coupe is available to order in several markets with revised suspension tuning and a lower manufacturing carbon footprint. Polestar's US site lists the coupe from $56,400, but buyers should confirm the model year and equipment of a US vehicle before treating that price as a 2027 quote.
What changes for the 2027 Polestar 4 coupe?
Polestar recalibrated the Rear motor and Dual motor chassis with higher-capacity passive dampers, revised springs and anti-roll bars, and polyurethane rebound stops. The company also refined the steering. Those changes target a specific job: control body movement over uneven pavement while preserving the quick response drivers expect from a performance EV.
The Dual motor with Performance pack takes a different suspension route. It uses active ZF dampers, firmer springs and anti-roll bars, 22-inch wheels, and larger Brembo front brakes. Its summer tires also demand a closer look from US buyers who drive through winter.
| Chassis detail | Rear motor and Dual motor | Dual motor with Performance pack |
|---|---|---|
| Dampers | High-capacity passive dampers | Active ZF dampers |
| Rebound control | Polyurethane stops | Polyurethane stops |
| Wheels | 20-inch wheels with all-season tires | 22-inch wheels with summer tires |
| Front brakes | 364 mm ventilated discs | 392 mm discs with four-piston Brembo calipers |
How do the US versions compare?
The current US specifications give buyers a useful performance and cost reference. The Rear motor offers 30 more miles of EPA-rated range and costs $6,500 less at the listed starting MSRP. The Dual motor supplies twice the peak power and raises the towing rating to 3,500 pounds, though towing can reduce real-world range substantially.
| US specification | Rear motor | Dual motor |
|---|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | $56,400 | $62,900 |
| Peak power | 272 hp | 544 hp |
| Peak torque | 253 lb-ft | 506 lb-ft |
| EPA range, up to | 310 miles | 280 miles |
| 0-60 mph | 6.9 seconds | 3.7 seconds |
| Maximum towing | 2,000 lb | 3,500 lb |
Both versions use a 100-kWh, 400-volt battery. Polestar quotes up to 200 kW of DC charging and a 10-80% charge in 30 minutes under its stated conditions. An 118-inch wheelbase supports cabin space, while the 190.5-inch length and 84.2-inch width with mirrors extended deserve attention in a narrow garage. Polestar says owners can use compatible NACS stations with an adapter purchased through a service point.
Does the sustainability improvement change the buying decision?
Polestar reports a cradle-to-gate carbon footprint of 19.4 metric tons of CO2 equivalent for the updated Rear motor and 20.3 for the Dual motor in its UK announcement. The latter figure drops 1.1 metric tons from launch. This measure covers production through delivery to the customer; it does not include charging, driving, or disposal.
The lower figure gives shoppers a clearer way to compare production impact, but electricity prices, insurance, tire costs, and depreciation will shape ownership costs. The Rear motor's higher EPA range and lower listed price make it the practical starting point. Choose the Dual motor when its acceleration or towing capacity serves a real need.
Pro-Tip: Before placing a US order, ask the retailer to identify the vehicle's model year, chassis specification, tire type, final price, and estimated delivery date on the order sheet.
