testdriwe when?

🎉 what was the last music, that one was niiice!

I will buy Kia Ev 9

This is some fastback cross countrified. Polestar 4-XC

Great review Chris! Is Tidal an option built in to Android Automotive for this car? Wondering how the hifi quality coming from Tidal in this car compares to Spotify over Bluetooth in your test.

Kris. I have always enjoyed your reviews when I was researching the P2 which I ended up leasing in the US. I'm definitely going to lease the P4. I can't wait for your drive test. On the sound test, I don't know how you do this but others reviews don't play songs for copyright. Kudos. Please post your drive test as soon as you do it.

I dont get that point if someones are against that no rear window thing. I never turn my head to look straight back, I just watch that rear view mirror. Many times rear view mirror view is not that good and those cameras does make it way better in that Polestar 4.

Hey you probably may not see this but are you going to review the Renault Scenic E-Tech long range 87kwh

The audi Q4 etron looks very plastic - its rounded design and plastic type front makes it look bad - a step back for audi. The 55 etron design to the right is still very nice, even today holding up nicely from 2018 design wise.

Mine's ordered, estimated delivery in November. Excited to see your test drive of the 4!

Call me what you will but I vote with my dollars and I refuse to buy a car that puts simple functions like vent direction into a touchscreen. It's terrible unnecessary design and would drive me crazy because I actually adjust my vents fairly regularly depending on the circumstances and who has been driving the vehicle. I am not giving up physical vent controls. Now get off my lawn! 😆

Swede here who are often in Copenhagen so that could be a cool meet up! I've already checked out the car last weekend. It's quite nice but I think it's a bit too expensive in Sweden for what you get and too touch screen centered which most other car makers are guilty of these days.

Kris, great review! Thanks for the Harmon Kardon test, I was still wondering about the sound quality. I ordered the LR Dual motor in Storm color with Pilot, Plus and Performance pack. Also added the Nappa leather in Charcoal , Electrochromic glass roof, Color-matched mouldings and the Tow bar hitch.. Because of the Electrochromic glass roof, the delivery is pushed to Q1 2025 instead of August this year. It's a beautiful car and worth to wait.

This needs more power in RWD trim (+50kw/65hp) IMO. For a premium vehicle with an equally premium price, it should have premium level performance. This has the same 0-60 time as a $35k (USD) Toyota Camry Hybrid/Honda Accord Hybrid.

Not really sure how you determined that the Tesla Model S and BMW i5 are comps for the Polestar 4? Doesn't make any sense to me. It's going to be competing with other small, premium SUV EVs like the Porsche Macan Electric and the BMW iX3.

Can you demo CarPlay on the car for us?

Is it higher than a Ferrari Purosangue?

When I first heard about the missing back window, I did not like it. But then I started to think about it. That is not really that bad. Maybe even a really good choice. When I look into the rear mirror of my Polestar 2, I can see just a small part of the window. A camera for sure will have a much wider sight. So the only problem with this car is that I already have a great car.😂

Great review i like thr polestar 4 and thr polestar 5. Im between this and the taycan

I'm with you on the vent controls being in the screen. What's even the point of having them motorized if there aren't any oscillating patterns you can choose?

wireless apple car play ?

When I set the seat and steering wheel position to fit me the Steering wheel blocked the view so the left lower corner of the middle screen wasn’t visible.

Looking forward to the test drive

Welcome to Gothenburg :)

Thanks for testing out the sound system. I do appreciate your opinion on this, and for me the sound system is a big part of a car. Had a chance to look at one for the first time yesterday. If I was in the market for a sedan this would be really high on my list. SUV? Eh, no. It really looks good in person! The lack of rear window which I really thought was an own goal when it launched didn't actually bother me much when I sat in it. The landscape screen and the better layout for 360 camera and backup camera next to eachother helps too. Sure, actually driving it on the road in real world conditions will finally tell how well the digital rear view mirror works in practice. One omission I did notice looking at the car is the lack of a ski hatch... Not ideal to have to fold a seat in order to load skiis. The little hach behind the rear hedrests is simply too small to fit skiis through. The boot without the rear window is otherwise actually very practical! We rarely fill it above the boot cover in our cars not to leave things on show and without the rear window it makes all the space usable and if you put the boot floor to the lowest level with a load lip it is very large. I'd also like a 230V plug socket in the boot/cabin to be able to tap in to the massive battery for various things when on the road on top of the rather weak 12V 120A outlet.

Would very much to meet up and also see and test the 3 and 4 i Stockholm!

Thanks Kris, it does indeed look great, sat in one at Battersea this week along with the P*3. Delivery in the system was saying late 1H 2025 so I may end up extending my current P*2 for a year and jump in next year, hopefully with upgraded 800V architecture. May even start seeing some price competition kick in by then :)

Thanks for the review! Did they disable the rear view mirror?

Love the GT!

Looking forward to your test drives P3, & P4. I viewed the P4 Performance in Sydney a week ago. What an awesome machine. Camera resolution is way, way better including dynamic range of cameras. Would be a great upgrade from my P2 MY24 LRSM. I can't complain though. Will be up sort of your way next Feb - Helsinki. Loving your You Tube channel and hopefully pushes the share price up in time.

Thank you Kris for the audio test. Audio tests are so important for people like me who enjoy listening to music when traveling . Yes, I'm an audiophile who bases his car considerations on the audio system.

Thanks!

..you have good consumption because speed limit there is 110 km/h on highway & 80 national...

Is there a reason why I can't get 7 seats with long range on the EV9? Why must they nickel and dime the consumer?

Thanks Kris, great video. I'm considering buying the EX30 and have been very impressed with the test drives I've had, love the work you've done proving range and charging. Probably will buy, can't make up my mind on which motor, twin or single.

95% of your charging will be done from home or work...Why this would change anything, is news to me...🙄A new EV that has a range of 400km that cost 15.000€ will change everything...

Great news but not needed all the time. This means you will have to stay with the car so that you can move on to free up the charger after say 15 minutes. We have all got familiar with plug in and leave the car for some refreshment. We will need destination chargers rated at say 100kW to allow you to go and get food and a toilet break as well. This development will need a new mindset.

Very nice car !

The efficiency is terrible. I am looking to buy an EV but these figures make me want to keep my A4 diesel.

I have the same car in UK and the range is awful, on good roads in good weather at a steady 68mph on ACC its range is 30 to 32 KWh /100 miles. The car has been back to Volvo main dealer for two weeks for checks and latest updates, no improvement. Average 200 miles instead of Volvos sales 298 miles. Comments please

I would be happy with 15 to 20 minutes chargering speed as technology improves say in next 5 years but also preserving longevity for battery pack.

Great car an nice video as always 😊

A good list, i would probably change the order a bit, but the list is valid anyway. 👍

CCS max voltag ist 1000v but Batterie voltage ist raising during charging (different soc) and depanding on Chargerate

As someone who pretty much never road trips, my future electric car will need to get me through one week of work on one charge.

Great review but the overarching issue with EV cars is range anxiety. You can spend the entire journey working out where a charging station is, will you make it etc instead of just enjoying the drive. What if the EV charging points that you went to were closed/broken - with only 4% residual charge, you’d be up the creek!

Måske, hvis du får mulighed så kom forbi Odense med dit event 😊 Hilsen En følger fra din allerførste video på UA-cam 😊

The CCS2 handles 3-phase the CCS1/J3400(NACS) cannot is my understanding therefore don't try to merge countries there will be areas of different standards and plugs. US/Canada with J3400, Most of the rest of the world on CCS2, China with replacement of their GPT connector and Japan with Chademo(but maybe changing as well). 5-10 min only satisfies those ICE-heads who always claim it only takes them 5min to refill their car but never empty their bladder even on a 1000km trip which of course they do non-stop. I think charge times of 15-30min is perfectly fine. Also remember charging depends on a variety of factors from battery temp, ambient temp, SoC, etc, etc and that excludes the charging infrastructure as not everywhere has 350kW DCFC there are many sites with 50-150kW only chargers.

I think that Polestar is steaming ahead with their Tech and this will really help their sales, totally awesome!

It’s neither a SUB or a coupe 😂
