Polestar removes the rear windshield
This page is translated from the original post "Et Polestar supprima la lunette arrière" in French.

The SUV from the new Chinese company Polestar, the Polestar 4, will feature an extremely aerodynamic concept in 2024 to maximize range.
No more acts of vandalism on the rear window… since it has disappeared. We will also need to learn how to park without turning around, unless the car can do it better than you in autonomous driving. Which will be a real possibility in 2024.

A single motor version with 270 hp and 102 kWh battery (0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds), and a second with two motors totaling 540 horsepower. (0 to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds).
Meticulous aerodynamics will be essential for a vehicle claiming 2.2 tons on the scale. The range is promised to be around 560 km homologated, approximately 450 km real-world. Polestar aims for the stars, but not through a rear window…
