The Polestar 4's intriguing design masks its middling performance in many other areas.

The all-new, all-electric Polestar 4 has impeccable interior design and flirts with controversy by eliminating its rear window. Unfortunately, these are its most noteworthy elements becasue its range, rear-seat space, technology interface, and cargo capacity all come up short against rivals.

Verdict: Unless avant-garde styling is your priority, you'd be better served by the competition.
