There is a lot of revolutionary tech in the Polestar 4, the latest EV produced by a partnership of Sweden’s Volvo and its majority shareholder, China’s Geely Motors. And one of the biggest is a lane guidance system not found in any other vehicle.
Google Maps’ new live lane guidance detects which lane the car is in by using Google’s advanced AI to analyse elements on the road, like lane markings and road signs. The info is shown on the car’s 10.2-inch driver display that highlights all possible lanes for the chosen route including which lane the car is in.

A Cabin Designed Around Screens and Simplicity
It’s just the latest in a rich offering of technology that makes this one of the smartest production cars on the road. Command central is a 15.4-inch infotainment display, so logically and intuitively organized that it has won two design awards.
Although the Polestar 4 has been available in some world markets for more than a year, it arrives in North America in December, coming from its new production facility in Busan, South Korea.
Functions as basic as exterior mirror adjustment, direction of cabin ventilation and even opening the glove box are all accessed through the display.
Scandinavian Calm Meets Space-Age Comfort
The elegantly understated and quiet interior features solar system-inspired lighting and a full-length fixed moonroof. It can be rendered opaque with the optional electrochromic feature, controlled through the UI screen. The pet mode keeps the car cool with a screen message for passersby: “My owner will return soon.”
Cameras Replace Mirrors — and Even the Rear Window
In all, 12 cameras provide every imaginable view of the front, back, rear and sky view of this luxury compact crossover. Even the “mirror” is a screen fed by a roof-mounted camera, which pivots slightly toward the lane you are entering. The rear-facing camera eliminates the need for a rear window, and Polestar used the space gained to create more head and leg room for rear passengers (and even optional reclining rear seats).
The handsome exterior styling has unicorns like a hood logo with a lighted underlay and air channels in the corners of the front bumper. The dual-blade style headlamps add to the techno-sleek feel.
