Arctic Circle Experience in Québec Canada
In February, we hosted the Arctic Circle Experience where guests were invited to test the Polestar 4’s performance, precision, and design in true winter conditions. As night fell, the Polestar 3 took center stage, illuminating the experience while demonstrating its bi-directional charging capabilities.
Polestar 4 was put to the test across a series of dynamic driving modules at Circuit Mécaglisse, a purpose-built winter driving facility in Québec. From controlled slalom and braking exercises to skid pad handling, each drive highlighted the vehicle’s balance, traction, and responsiveness. Professional drift driver, Tommy Lemaire, led hot laps in the Polestar 4 Arctic Circle Edition, demonstrating dynamic control and confidence on polished ice.
The Polestar 4 Arctic Circle Edition was engineered specifically for the Arctic Circle Experience and to push Polestar's performance boundaries to the next level. It is equipped with studded Pirelli tires, a raised suspension, and Öhlins racing dampers, all tailored for maximum capability on snow and ice. Its bold yellow exterior not only stands out vividly against the winter landscape but also showcases its rally-inspired design.
The Polestar 4 doesn’t just survive the cold. It thrives there.
