On April 23, Buycar learned that on the eve of the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, at the Polestar brand night press conference, national actors Zhou Xun and Chen Kun made a stunning appearance and joined forces to become the spokesperson of Polestar. At the same time, the Polestar 4 Dual-Star Connected Edition was officially launched, and the new car was launched in two configurations, including the official price of the single-motor standard range Plus dual-star connected version is 339,900 yuan, and the official price of the dual-motor long-range Plus dual-star connected version is 399,900 yuan. At the same time, the first Polestar AI flagship mobile phone, the Polestar Phone, was also officially released, priced at 7388 yuan, and the official said that the phone is seamlessly connected to Polestar cars through Polestar Link, thus bringing users a cross-terminal connected intelligent ecological experience.
It is understood that users who buy a car from April 23 to May 31 will not only give away a Polestar Phone worth 7,388 yuan, but also provide limited-time car purchase rights, including a deposit of 5,000 yuan that can be extended to 35,000 yuan, a free upgrade of the Polestar Navigation Pilot intelligent driving kit worth 35,000 yuan, and a new user who enjoys a value preservation of 25,000 yuan 2. Owners can enjoy a 25,000 yuan subsidy for a limited time to purchase a Polestar 4.
In terms of appearance, the front face of the new car adopts the familiar Thor's hammer headlight cluster, and the shape of the double L is full of strong visual recognition. In addition, the front of the car is equipped with millimeter-wave radar and a 360-degree panoramic image camera.
The Polestar 4 has a sleek side line with a fastback shape and black accents on the underside of the doors, which gives the entire side look a flatter look. At the same time, the new car also adopts frameless doors, hidden door handles, and frameless exterior mirrors, which further demonstrates a strong sense of technology and fashion.
The rear of the car is also designed to be simple, with zigzag taillights running through, and an interesting detail is that the car is not equipped with a rear windscreen, but instead transmits the image directly to the interior mirrors through the top camera.
IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH 22-INCH FORGED WHEELS WITH 4-PISTON BREMBO BRAKE CALIPERS FOR A VERY SPORTY VISUAL EFFECT, PAIRED WITH PIRELLI'S P ZERO TYRES IN SIZE 265/40 R22.
In addition, the launch of the Twin Stars will take the experience of driver connectivity even further, with the latest Polestar Phone enabling Polestar Link technology, which enables owners to share software, connect, access location services, and camera hardware.
At the launch event, Polestar showcased a number of new features that will be available on OTAs this year, including UWB digital keys, cross-device visibility and talk, mobile assisted vehicle OTA, unbounded photo album streaming, address replication and routing, global gesture control, and more. With Polestar Phone, users can also download the upgrade package locally on their phone, making the OTA stable and convenient for the car.
In terms of interactive experience, the Polestar OS intelligent cockpit system will bring new improvements and optimizations in gesture control and voice control, which can realize cross-terminal intelligent voice control, and you can enjoy Douyin without using your hands. At the same time, Polestar will also develop one-click scene functions for high-frequency scenarios such as car washes, naps, and pet rides, as well as CarPlay for Apple users, making it easier for users to use their cars.
It is also worth noting that at the brand night, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath and Polestar Design Director Maximilian Missoni unveiled their single-seater electric super concept sports car, the Synergy, for the Chinese debut.
Specifically, the Polestar Synergy Concept supercar is inspired by the hammerhead shark, with exaggerated wheel arches and a huge front lip at the front. At the rear, the rear wing and eye-catching light clusters are reminiscent of a Formula 1 car.
At the same time, the interior of the Synergy adopts a single-seat floating layout, using a fighter plane-like monocoque cockpit, and is equipped with racing seat belts, a digital instrument cluster and several small digital screens that can display information such as battery level, external temperature and more. It is understood that the concept of "floating" is inspired by the camera stabilizer, providing users with a new performance driving experience of "floating, comfort and control", and expressing the driving concept design with "control" as the core.
