Polestar Polestar 4
The Polestar 4 is an electric coupe SUV launched in 2024, slotted between the Polestar 2 and 3 in size and price. It stands out for the absence of a rear window, replaced by a high-resolution camera displayed on a digital rearview mirror, and for its sleek roofline. Built on Geely's SEA architecture, it is offered with a single motor (rear-wheel drive) or dual motors (all-wheel drive) reaching about 544 hp, with a 102 kWh battery. It appeals to a premium clientele drawn to bold styling and strong performance. Produced in China (Hangzhou Bay) and Korea (Busan). In Quebec, its wheels up to 21 inches and wide fitments make properly sized winter tires essential for this heavy and powerful EV.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Les Polestar chaussent des jantes de grand diamètre, typiquement de 19 à 22 pouces, avec un entraxe (bolt pattern) de 5x108, partagé avec plusieurs Volvo et Ford européennes, ce qui élargit le choix de jantes compatibles. Les berlines (Polestar 2) montent souvent du 245 de largeur, tandis que les SUV (Polestar 3, 4) recourent à des montes plus larges et parfois étagées (avant/arrière différents). Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires : pour ces VE lourds et puissants, des pneus hiver homologués au bon indice de charge et de vitesse sont essentiels, idéalement montés sur un second train de jantes en diamètre légèrement réduit pour le confort et l'autonomie.
