America Won’t Get This Practical New Version Of The Polestar 4

Image
A camouflaged Polestar 4 SUV hit the track for development testing. Spy photos reveal the redesigned tail with a hatch and a rear window. The prototype is likely the performance flagship with dual motors. Blame Washington for missing out on this one. The U.S. declined to authorize Polestar to sell cars here after the 2027 model year, right as the brand is gearing up for its next big debut. That model is a new variant of the 4, due in September. Shortly after the official teaser surfaced , a camouflaged Polestar 4 SUV prototype turned up lapping the Nurburgring, giving us our first proper look at what American buyers will not get.

Over Half A Million Subarus Recalled Over A Wrong Sticker

General Motors is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Hummer H2 by introducing the Hummer EV Icon | 25. It’s a special edition “born from a legacy of bold design, cultural impact and unmistakable presence.” That’s overly ambitious praise for a slow-selling EV lineup and a brand that was dead for a decade, but the model wears a bright yellow Icon paint job inspired by the eye-catching hue offered on the H2. It’s contrasted by a number of black accents including the wheels, cladding, mirrors, and roof. The model also has black recovery points and skid plates.
