The mules of yesteryear are back! The future Polestar 4, the new electric coupé SUV that the Swedish brand will launch in 2024, has begun its development. These are the first spy photos of a curious test mule. The rival of the Porsche Macan Electric, developed in Sweden, hides under this amalgam of part.
How much we missed the curious mules with which the manufacturers developed the new models. It’s been years since I’ve had a test mule like these spy photos that we have just received carrying out a series of tests in the vicinity of with an important specialized engineering consultancy in Spain.
A very early mule of the new electric SUV coupe that the sports brand from Göteborg has already started to develop. The firm has already taken care not only to confirm the commercial name, but also to show some of the future production models hidden under sheets. The future Polestar 4 2024 hides under this curious mule in which we can see Part of the Volvo XC40 body. And it is that the body of this model has been modified deeply to adapt to a new specific platform of electric cars.
The future Polestar 4 2024 hides under this interesting mule
just see that the wheelbase is longer than it really appears, because the rear wheel arch has been generously enlarged and the rear wheel has also been pushed backso the battle will be larger than that of Volvo’s own SUV and also that of the Polestar 2. In addition, it will also be wider, as evidenced by the bulging front and rear wheel arches. A detail that generously attracts attention is not the Polestar 2 pilots in the rear precisely, but the big brake discs on the front axle.
These are accompanied by a powerful tweezers, which gives an idea of the potential that will hide under the passenger compartment. For the first time, this mule has escaped the zeal with which the Swedes, Polestar and Volvo, develop their new models, so we are already looking forward to the prototypes of the electric future being hunted, whose hallmarks of the on-board motor system look on the hood, windshield and door handles.
The future rival of the Porsche Macan EV, Audi Q6 e-tron and Maserati Grecale Folgore, will be positioned as an alternative with a sportier set-up. One of those who expect it to be one of the best sellers by being in the D-segment. Under the bodywork, will present features of the Precept conceptwill have one or two electric motors, with rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive and a wide range of powers that will reach 600 hp. Between the axes, a powerful battery with a high capacity to reach the 700 kilometers of maximum autonomy.
