Polestar 4 SUV Confirmed for Canada — With a Rear Window This Time

The Polestar 4 is getting a more practical sibling, and Canada is on the list. As Drive Tesla Canada reported September 3, Polestar will bring a Polestar 4 SUV to the Canadian market as a 2027 model — a straighter-roofed, upright-tailgate version of the coupe-style electric fastback already on sale here, and famously launched without a rear window.

The SUV fixes that. A conventional rear-view mirror is now standard on this variant, with the camera-based digital mirror becoming optional. The change adds practicality where the original traded it for design: second-row headroom grows by 2.5 cm, cargo space measures 530 litres behind the rear seats and 1,665 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded, and roof rails are standard, rated for a 100 kg dynamic load.

Powertrains: same SEA architecture, 100 kWh battery

Both trims use the same SEA architecture as the coupe and a 100 kWh battery:

• Rear-wheel drive: 200 kW (272 hp), 0–100 km/h in 7.3 seconds, up to 630 km of range on the WLTP cycle.
• Dual-motor AWD: 400 kW (544 hp), 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, up to 600 km WLTP range.

Charging peaks at 200 kW on DC fast charging, while the AC onboard charger handles 11 kW. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) will be available on the Polestar 4 SUV, but not at launch — Polestar says it will arrive "in a future software update." Official Natural Resources Canada range and efficiency ratings are not out yet, so treat the WLTP figures as optimistic until the NRCan numbers land; Canadian winter range is typically well below European-cycle figures.

Deliveries in Q4 2026 — but no Canadian pricing yet

Deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, including in Canada. Pricing for the Canadian market has not been announced, and no Canadian figure has been published for the SUV variant yet. When it arrives, the 4 SUV's added practicality will position it against the Tesla Model Y and other mid-size electric SUVs — we'll publish the Canadian figures as soon as Polestar Canada confirms them.

The U.S. can't buy it at all

The strangest part of this story is the geography. American buyers are shut out of the 2027 Polestar 4 entirely after the automaker was banned from selling its cars in the United States under the connected-vehicle rule targeting Chinese-linked software and hardware. Canada, which has pursued its own approach to Chinese-connected vehicles, remains a Polestar market — making the 4 SUV one more electric vehicle Canadians can buy that Americans, directly across the border, cannot.

That asymmetry is now a running theme in the Canadian EV market, and it cuts both ways: some models skip Canada, but increasingly, some ship here while the U.S. market closes. For Polestar — a brand with Swedish design roots and Geely manufacturing behind it — Canada has become one of the more important open markets in North America.
