2027 Polestar 4 Priced for Australia: Coupe Now $73,900, New Polestar 4 SUV Matches It

Update, 1 October 2026: Polestar Australia now prices the Polestar 4 coupe at $73,900 for the Rear motor and $81,750 for the Dual motor, $4,600 below the figures we listed in June, and has added a new Polestar 4 SUV body at exactly the same prices. Both figures include GST and exclude Polestar's delivery fee and on-road costs; Polestar's own vehicle totals including GST and delivery are $76,900 and $84,750. The Performance pack is still $7,200 but requires the $6,500 Plus pack, so a Dual motor with Performance pack is $95,450 in either body. The SUV is open for orders, with the configurator estimating January to February 2027 delivery. ANCAP rates the Polestar 4 five stars (2025 datestamp).

If you have been sitting on a Polestar 4 quote, it is worth reopening it. The 2027 Polestar 4 coupe arrived mid-year with a reported chassis retune and an optional 22kW AC charger, and it now sits $4,600 below the prices we listed in June, with a second body alongside it. The Rear motor now starts at $73,900 and the Dual motor at $81,750, both including GST but before delivery and on-road costs, and the new Polestar 4 SUV sits at exactly the same prices.

The SUV is the bigger story for families. It keeps the coupe's wheelbase, powertrains and cabin, but trades the rear-window-free fastback roof for a conventional glass rear window, roof rails and a taller tail, and Polestar describes it as having "the space of a wagon". Choosing between the two bodies costs nothing, which makes it purely a question of shape, boot and whether you can live with a camera instead of a rear window.

Pricing

Polestar's configurator shows the car price before taxes and fees, a vehicle total including GST and its delivery fee, and a state drive-away price. The before-on-roads figures below are the car price with GST added, the same basis as the rival list prices quoted further down. Coupe and SUV are priced identically.

For a sense of the on-road bill, Polestar's configurator quotes a New South Wales drive-away price of $81,135 for the Rear motor, $89,380 for the Dual motor and $105,901.70 for the Dual motor with Performance pack, the last including $2,036.70 of luxury car tax. The main packs are the same across both bodies: Plus at $6,500 (Harman Kardon premium sound, Pixel LED headlights, three-zone climate and more), Comfort at $1,200 (heated steering wheel, power steering column and 12-way front seats, included when you take Plus) and Performance at $7,200. The 22kW AC three-phase charger is a standalone $900 option on every grade, which roughly halves a full home charge against the standard 11kW, where Polestar quotes 11 hours from 0 to 100 per cent.

Battery, motors and range

Underneath, both bodies share the same 400V, 100kWh battery (Polestar's capacity figure), the same single rear motor on the cheaper car and the same twin-motor layout up top. The SUV is slightly heavier but claims 10km more range, and it is a tenth or two slower to 100km/h.

At 620km WLTP, the coupe Rear motor sits well above the Tesla Model Y RWD's 466km, and the SUV adds another 10km. The Dual motor coupe's 3.8 second 0 to 100km/h is unchanged. Where Polestar still gives ground is charging: Polestar quotes a 200kW peak and 30 minutes for 10 to 80 per cent, while we list the BMW iX3 50 xDrive at 400kW and 21 minutes, which makes the BMW the quicker car to top up on a road trip.

What is actually new for 2027

For the coupe, the model year 2027 changes were mostly under the skin. At the June launch they were reported as fresh spring rates front and rear, higher-capacity dampers aimed at smoothing out low-speed bumps, recalibrated anti-roll bars and a steering retune. Polestar's Australian specification pages do not itemise those changes, though they do list high-capacity passive dampers with polyurethane rebound stops as standard. The Long Range naming went, leaving simply Rear motor and Dual motor.

The second change is the SUV body. It is the same length and wheelbase as the coupe, 22mm taller, and gains a heated curved rear window with a wiper and roof rails. The Performance pack is the same recipe for both: 22-inch forged wheels, specially tuned active ZF dampers, Brembo front brakes with Swedish gold four-piston callipers and gold detailing. It is a flavour, not a step change in pace, and it requires the Plus pack.

Equipment and cabin

Standard kit includes a 15.4-inch centre touchscreen with Google built-in, a 10.2-inch driver display, a panoramic glass roof, 8-way power driver and 6-way power passenger seats, an 8-speaker stereo, 20-inch alloys, a 360-degree camera and the Pilot pack of driver assistance systems. Harman Kardon sound, the head-up display and heated rear seats sit in the Plus pack, 12-way front seats in the Comfort pack, and the electrochromic glass roof is a $2,200 option. The coupe still has no rear window and relies on a rear-view camera feeding the digital rear-view mirror; on the SUV, which has a real rear window, that digital mirror is a $1,000 option.

Boot space is where the two bodies part ways. The coupe holds 526 litres with the rear seats up and 1,536 litres folded, plus a 15-litre front boot. The SUV holds 530 litres to the rear seat backs, 655 litres loaded to the roof and 1,665 litres with the seats folded. If you regularly fill the boot to the ceiling, the SUV is the one to look at.

Safety

ANCAP rates the Polestar 4 five stars with a 2025 datestamp. The rating applies to all variants built from August 2024 onwards, runs to December 2031, and scored 92% for adult occupant protection, 87% for child occupant protection, 81% for vulnerable road user protection and 79% for safety assist. ANCAP's record was published before the SUV body existed and does not name it, so until ANCAP says the rating covers the SUV we treat the SUV as no data. Standard safety on every car includes a centre airbag, autonomous emergency braking and a lane support system with lane keep assist and emergency lane keeping.

How it compares

At $73,900 before on-roads the Rear motor has closed some of the gap to the cheaper end of the class. The Tesla Model Y RWD lists at $58,900 and still has an obvious price advantage, but gives away 154km of WLTP range to the coupe. The Model Y Long Range AWD at $68,900 is now only $5,000 below the Polestar Rear motor and $12,850 below the Dual motor. For a wider segment lens see our CarSorted directory.

Above the Polestar 4, the BMW iX3 50 xDrive lists at $109,900. The Polestar 4 Dual motor at $81,750 is $28,150 cheaper, but gives up a lot of claimed range to the BMW's 805km WLTP figure. If you would rather take the next sibling up in the Polestar showroom, the Polestar 3 Rear Motor lists at $116,700, a $42,800 jump over the Polestar 4 Rear motor for a larger SUV body with more ground clearance.

Warranty and ownership

Polestar Australia backs the 4 with a 5-year vehicle warranty and an 8-year or 160,000km battery warranty, under which the battery is repaired or replaced if its state of health drops below 70 per cent inside that window. Five years of complimentary roadside assistance is included, along with over-the-air updates and one year of connected services.

The CarSorted angle

At the June prices we listed, the Polestar 4 Rear motor cost $38,200 less than the Polestar 3 Rear Motor; now the gap is $42,800, and the Polestar 4 Rear motor claims 620km (coupe) or 630km (SUV) WLTP against the Polestar 3 Rear Motor's 603km. With a Polestar 4 SUV now sitting underneath it, the Polestar 3 only really earns its premium if you want its larger body and higher ride height.

For novated-lease buyers, the tax line matters. Polestar's vehicle totals of $76,900 for the Rear motor and $84,750 for the Dual motor both sit under the $91,661 fuel-efficient Luxury Car Tax threshold for 2026-27, and Polestar's own price breakdown charges no LCT on either, which keeps them inside the electric car FBT exemption under current rules. The Performance pack, which requires the Plus pack, takes the Dual motor's vehicle total to $98,450, so that car does attract the tax, and Polestar's New South Wales breakdown adds $2,036.70 of LCT to it.

What this means for buyers

If you have been cross-shopping the Polestar 4 Dual motor and the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD, a price $4,600 below our June listing makes this a good moment to look again. If the missing rear window was the reason you walked away, the SUV fixes it at no extra cost and adds boot space. And if you want a single-motor EV for the daily commute with 620km or more of WLTP range, the Rear motor at $73,900 is $4,600 under the price we listed when the 2027 cars were first priced.

The reasons to hold off are narrower now. The coupe's rear-window-free design is still a personal taste call, 200kW peak DC will look slow next to 800V rivals, and the SUV has no ANCAP rating of its own yet, with Polestar's configurator estimating January to February 2027 delivery for a new order. For most buyers in the $70,000 to $85,000 EV bracket, none of that is a deal-breaker. Polestar's Australian site takes test drive bookings for both bodies.
