The Polestar 4 arrived in 2024 as one of the more architecturally unusual production vehicles of its era. Built on Geely's SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform, it occupies a specific niche in Polestar's line-up — positioned as a performance-oriented SUV coupé above the Polestar 2 in body style terms. Norev's die-cast interpretation in Storm Grey brings that distinctive silhouette to the display cabinet at 1:43.
The Car Without a Rear Window
Officially revealed in April 2023 and launched for sale in 2024, the Polestar 4 is a long, wide SUV coupé with a notably long wheelbase. Its most debated engineering decision is the complete elimination of the rear window: a rear-facing camera feeds a live image to an interior display instead. The dual-motor Long Range variant produces 400 kW (544 hp), while single-motor configurations deliver around 200 kW (272 hp). The Long Range battery has 94 kWh of usable capacity.
Busan, South Korea — and a Pivot in Polestar's Production Geography
Production of the Polestar 4 takes place at the Renault Korea Motors plant in Busan, South Korea — the first time a Polestar model has been assembled outside China for global markets. The SEA platform underpinning it is shared across several Geely Group EVs, making the Polestar 4 a tangible artefact of European-Chinese automotive co-development. Storm Grey, the colour reproduced here, is a standard Polestar factory option consistent with the brand's desaturated Scandinavian palette.
Norev's 1:43 Die-Cast Interpretation
Norev — a long-established French die-cast brand with deep roots in accurate road car representation — renders the Polestar 4 in die-cast metal at 1:43. The Storm Grey finish replicates a production colour that suits the coupé's flush surfaces and minimal chrome. For collectors tracking modern EV releases in die-cast form, this is among the earliest authorised replicas of the Polestar 4 available in this scale. The sealed body construction concentrates all fidelity on the exterior surfaces, including the camera housing that replaces the conventional rear screen.
In the Display Cabinet
At 1:43, the model sits comfortably on a standard collector shelf alongside Norev's own Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 releases, making a coherent brand sequence. It also pairs naturally with Norev's Volvo EX90 — a model sharing adjacent platform development context. The neutral Storm Grey works alongside both warmer and cooler palette pieces without visual conflict. For collectors assembling a modern EV or Scandinavian design-focused display, this Polestar 4 represents the most architecturally distinctive entry in the series to date.
