NEW POLESTAR MODELS are beginning to come along like buses. While there's currently only one model in the brand's line-up, another three will be arriving in quick succession. And this one - the Polestar 4could be the most appealing of the lot.

It ticks a lot of the most fashionable boxes: not only is it fully electric but it's also a coupé SUV, meaning it aims to provide family-friendly practicality in a sleek, eye-catching shape.

With its slim LED lights, flush door handles and 22in alloy wheels, the Polestar 4 certainly looks the part, and it needs to, because it faces premium competition from the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron and Volvo C40 Recharge, as well as from the cheaper Skoda Enyaq Coupé iV and Volkswagen ID 5.

The Polestar 4 will be available in both single and dual-motor forms. The former, with 268bhp, has rear-wheel drive and can officially hit 0-62mph in 7.4sec, with an estimated range of up to 372 miles. That's farther than any version of the Q4 Sportback or C40 Recharge can go and will take you from London to Leeds without stopping, if the mood should ever take you.
