Did Polestar LISTEN TO me? The 2026 Polestar 4 is MUCH better!

At first glance, this Polestar 4 might look identical to the version I tested last year (here’s the review). And in fact, it is: the design is the same, as is the overall layout. But beneath the surface, there are a few updates—small on paper but substantial in everyday use. I’m talking about both hardware tweaks and software updates that have refined its on-road behavior. Improvements that mainly address the practical limitations I found in the very first version.
