Performance Stories: Speed with Subum Lee

We delve into the world of Polestar performance by speaking with those who know our cars best. In this episode, we meet Subum Lee, Lead Exterior Designer of the Polestar 4, to find out how aerodynamics improves the car's performance.

With a 0–100 km/h time of 3.8 seconds*, the Polestar 4 is impressively quick for a SUV—thanks in no small part to clever aerodynamic engineering. A low, sleek front. Air curtains below the headlights. Rear side aero blades. Flush glazing and door handles. A completely flat floor. These are just some design features that make the Polestar 4 a thrill to drive.

To learn more about how aerodynamics enhance safety, energy efficiency, and driving excitement in your Polestar, read our in-depth feature on aerodynamics in the age of electric vehicles.
