When Coca-Cola introduced Coke Zero, it quickly became the brand’s fastest-growing version of the drink; appealing to a new market of buyers who wanted a sugar-free drink that shares its taste with the best-selling original. That’s exactly the case with the Polestar 4 SUV.

You see, while the Polestar 4 – now rechristened the Polestar 4 Coupé – is currently the brand’s best-selling model, Polestar hopes the 4 SUV will be an even stronger-seller. Indeed, the company predicts 70% of Polestar 4 sales will be SUVs.

The Polestar 4 SUV is no longer or wider than the 4 Coupé. Instead, it features a more squared-off rear end, including a conventional glass rear window; something famously missing from the 4 Coupé.

And despite what its name suggests, the 4 SUV’s boxy shape yet low roof line means it's more likely to appeal to estate car buyers; rivalling the Audi A6 Avant e-tron, BMW i5 Touring and Volkswagen ID 7 Tourer.

At 530 litres, the Polestar 4 SUV’s boot is only four litres bigger than the 4 Coupé’s, although those figures are measured from the boot floor to the parcel shelf. The more squared-off 4 SUV has significantly more room above that for bulkier items, not to mention its rear window means it’s far better suited for carrying dogs. The 4 SUV’s boot also outclasses the Avant e-tron’s (502 litres), but the i5 Touring (570 litres) and ID 7 Tourer (605 litres) have even more luggage space.

Much like its coupé counterpart, the 4 SUV also features a 15-litre compartment underneath the bonnet, offering just enough space for a charging cable.

The Polestar 4 SUV’s power options mirror the 4 Coupé’s, with the cheaper Single Motor version accelerating from 0-62mph in a healthy 7.3sec. However, for genuine high-speed thrills, there’s also the 4 SUV Dual Motor, which sends 536bhp to all four wheels. Reaching 62mph in 3.9sec, it’s faster off the mark than the ID 7 Tourer GTX and similar to the most powerful i5 Touring.

Every Polestar 4 SUV comes with a 94kWh (usable capacity) battery, which gives the Single Motor version an official range of 391 miles; beating the i5 Touring (up to 351 miles), although the A6 Avant e-tron and ID 7 Tourer can travel even further (437 and 422 miles respectively).

One feature introduced with the 4 SUV – and set to be introduced to existing 4 Coupés via an over-the-air update – is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L), which allows owners to power appliances via the car’s battery.

Polestar 4 SUV interior

Inside, the 4 SUV feels just as upmarket as the 4 Coupé, with plenty of plush materials. The standard-fit panoramic glass roof helps to make the interior feel particularly airy, and is available with an electrochromic layer; allowing you to make the glass appear opaque to reduce glare.

The 4 SUV offers good all-round visibility, thanks to slim rear pillars and a sizeable rear window. A conventional rear-view mirror comes as standard; however, the 4 Coupé’s ‘digital mirror’, which gives you a wider view and is clearer at night, is offered as an option.

There’s plenty of leg and head room up front, but having to adjust the steering wheel position and door mirrors through the 15.4in touchscreen isn’t the easiest task.

Fortunately, the screen is crisp and responds quickly to prods. What’s more, Polestar’s latest infotainment system is intuitive and allows you to add shortcuts for the features you most commonly use. What’s more, a ‘Camp Mode’ – which will be subsequently added to the Polestar 4 Coupé – means the touchscreen can be used for entertainment or climate control when the vehicle is otherwise switched off.

Polestar 4 SUV rear seats

In the back, the 4 SUV is positively limo-like. There’s more than enough leg and head room for six-footers, and – unlike the A6 Avant e-tron – a near-completely flat floor, meaning a middle passenger has plenty of space for their feet. Opt for the Prime Pack and the two outer seats are heated and electrically recline.

As standard, every Polestar 4 SUV features heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear privacy glass and dual-zone climate control. However, like other Polestars, buyers can add optional ‘packs’ with extra goodies.

These include the ‘Prime Pack’ which features a head-up display, a power-opening tailgate, heated and reclining rear seats and pixel LED headlights with adaptive high beam, and the ‘Performance Pack’, which adds larger 22in alloy wheels, stiffer suspension and gold trim.

The Polestar 4 SUV is already available to order with the first UK deliveries expected to take place before the end of the year. Priced from £54,750 for the Single Motor version, the 4 SUV is more expensive than the equivalent Volkswagen ID 7 Tourer (£52,225) but undercuts the Audi A6 Avant e-tron (£64,390), BMW i5 Touring (£70,045) and Polestar 4 Coupé (£56,750).
