2027 Polestar 4 coupe drops $4600 to match SUV pricing

Key takeaways

• 2027 Polestar 4 coupe prices cut by $4600 across the range
• Coupe and SUV now share identical Australian pricing
• Updated coupe gains a recalibrated chassis and sharper steering

Polestar has slashed pricing on the 2027 Polestar 4 coupe in Australia, cutting up to $4600 off the range to match the newly revealed Polestar 4 SUV.

The change is effective for all customers from 2 September 2026. It means buyers no longer pay a premium for the coupe's sleeker, window free tail over the more practical SUV body style.

Rear motor variants now open at $73,900 before on road costs, down from $78,500. Dual motor versions drop to $81,750, a saving of $4600 on the old $86,350 asking price.

What else has changed for MY27

The pricing cut lands alongside a broader MY27 update for the Polestar 4 coupe, revealed back in June.

Rear motor and Dual motor grades get a recalibrated chassis, with higher capacity dampers, revised spring and anti roll bar rates, and polyurethane rebound stops in place of the old internal coil springs. Steering has also been retuned for sharper precision.

Polestar CEO Michael Lohscheller said the updated coupe delivers "a more refined ride with enhanced driving pleasure, and stronger sustainability credentials."

Emissions are also down. Polestar now quotes a cradle to gate footprint of 20.3 tonnes of CO2 equivalent for Dual motor versions, a cut of 1.1 tonnes since launch, and 19.4 tonnes for Rear motor cars.

The trim naming has been simplified too, moving from Long Range Single Motor and Long Range Dual Motor to a straightforward Rear motor, Dual motor and Dual motor with Performance pack structure, each with its own interior trim detailing.

Rivals and local availability

The Polestar 4 coupe competes with premium electric SUVs like the Tesla Model Y and BMW iX3 in Australia. Matching coupe pricing to the incoming SUV variant removes one obvious reason for cross shoppers to pick the wagon bodied car over the coupe on cost alone.

The Polestar 4 SUV is due in Australia before the end of 2026, with the updated coupe already arriving in local showrooms.

Why the Performance pack barely moved

This is a pricing led story, and the detail worth watching is the gap between cuts. Base Rear motor and Dual motor grades fell by $4600 each, but the range topping Dual motor with Performance pack dropped by just $100.

That is not a rounding error. It signals Polestar is happy to sacrifice margin on volume grades to win cross shoppers away from the Tesla Model Y, while protecting the profit built into its highest spec, highest margin variant.

If that pattern holds as the SUV arrives locally, expect any future Australian discounting to keep landing on entry and mid tier Polestar 4 grades rather than the Performance pack cars.

The bottom line

Buyers choosing between the Polestar 4 coupe and SUV can now decide purely on styling and practicality, not price. The real question left is whether that $100 gap on the Performance pack variant closes too, or whether Polestar holds the line there while the SUV settles into local showrooms.
