Polestar 4 has received the highest safety rating of five stars from Euro NCAP (The European New Car Assessment Program).
Euro NCAP, the vehicle safety assessment program in Europe, has been certifying vehicle safety test results since 1997, granting the highest rating of five stars only to vehicles that excel in crash protection performance and are equipped with advanced accident prevention technology.
Polestar 4 achieved a perfect score in both side impact and side pole crash tests and was recognized by Euro NCAP for its excellent performance with perfect scores in front offset and side crash tests as well. It recorded 92% in the adult occupant protection institutional sector, proving the highest level of safety under Euro NCAP’s latest evaluation standards. Additionally, it recorded 85% in the child occupant protection institutional sector, 81% in pedestrian protection, and 79% in safety assistance systems, achieving an overall score of 86% and five stars.
Polestar 4 is equipped with a total of seven airbags, including an internal side airbag to reduce passenger-to-passenger collisions in the event of an accident. It also features an SOS call system that automatically sends a rescue request in the event of a serious accident. To prevent accidents in advance, it provides an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), continuously monitoring the vehicle's surroundings through 11 external cameras, one driver monitoring camera, one mid-range radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, and supporting safety through warnings or interventions when necessary. Moreover, a rear camera mounted on the vehicle roof replaces the traditional rear window, ensuring a wide field of view and enhanced low-light visibility, without obstructing the rear view, even with cargo or passengers present.
Michael Lohscheller, Polestar CEO, noted, “Polestar 4 is the latest model from Polestar, and achieving the highest safety rating in this evaluation proves how safe we are in making high-performance electric vehicles.” He added, “When customers choose Polestar, they are choosing one of the safest vehicles not only in electric cars but in the entire automotive market.”
Polestar 4 is currently the third model in the Polestar lineup to receive the highest rating from Euro NCAP, positioning Polestar as an electric vehicle brand with all models achieving the highest safety ratings. Polestar 2 received the highest rating in 2021, and Polestar 3 recorded 93% in the child occupant protection category earlier this year, setting new safety standards.
