Polestar has confirmed unchanged pricing for its MY26 Polestar 4 mid-size electric SUV range, as well as a few minor specification changes for the electric vehicle (EV) brand’s Tesla Model Y rival.
The entry-level single-motor variant will continue to retail from $78,500 before on-road costs, while the dual-motor flagship is priced at $88,350 plus on-roads.
Updates for 2026 include the introduction of physical steering wheel buttons which replace the touch-sensitive controls found in MY25 examples. Polestar has also tinkered with the option packs available for the Polestar 4, moving an illuminated front Polestar logo, high-level interior illumination, and boot storage net to the $8000 Plus Pack.
The Nappa leather upgrade pack is now between $900 and $1300 cheaper, depending on the chosen colour.

The distinctively styled Polestar 4 has quickly become the Chinese-owned Swedish brand’s most popular model in Australia, with 151 registrations in September contributing to a 2025 tally of 1033 units in its first full year on sale.
That puts the sleek SUV ahead of the ageingPolestar 2fastback (661 sales, down 48.64 per cent), and the Polestar 3 large SUV (173 units).
The Polestar 4 is also outselling rivals such as the Skoda Enyaq, Kia EV5, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and Audi Q6 e-tron. However, the Tesla Model Y still dominates the mid-size electric SUV segment (and Australia’s EV market overall).
