Polestar 4 electric SUV coupe makes North American public debut at the 2024 New York International Auto Show

POLESTAR - Polestar celebrates the North American public debut of Polestar 4, the all-new electric performance SUV coupe, at the 2024 New York International Auto Show (NYIAS). Polestar 4 has a starting MSRP of $64,900^[1] CAD for the Long range Single motor and $74,900^[1] CAD for the Long Range Dual motor with standard Pilot Pack. Polestar 4 will be available to order in North America beginning in late April 2024 with customer deliveries planned for the fourth quarter of 2024.

“Debuting Polestar 4 to the North American market on a stage such as the New York International Auto Show is a significant milestone for our brand,” said Gregor Hembrough, Head of Polestar North America. “Polestar 4’s innovative SUV coupe design offers the best of both worlds for those seeking the ultimate driving performance without sacrificing occupant comfort and a captivating exterior design. Together with Polestar 3, we transition from a one-car to a three-car company, with two luxury SUVs arriving this year.” These two SUVs are the result of what Polestar has set as its goal: combining performance and luxury in a new way, creating a new standard in the electric age.

 

Positioned between Polestar 2 and Polestar 3 in terms of size and price, Polestar 4 is the second SUV in the brand’s dynamic lineup as it rolls out its model offensive and grows from a one-car to a three-car company this year. The new addition transforms the aerodynamics of a coupe and the space of an SUV into a new breed of SUV coupe.

 

Polestar 4 features a plethora of standard content including 20-inch 5 V-spoke black diamond cut alloy wheels, panoramic glass roof, adaptive cruise control, 360 parking camera with 3D view, energy saving heat pump, front illuminated Polestar logo, e-latch doors, power operated tailgate with soft close, Polestar digital key, wireless phone charging, and 8-way electrical driver seat and 6-way electrical passenger seat.

 

Pilot Pack, which is standard on the Long range Dual motor variant, features Pilot Assist and Lane Change Assist. Pro Pack brings 21-inch Pro wheel with black seat belts with a Swedish gold stripe and Swedish gold valve stem caps.

 

Plus Pack provides customers with a graphical head-up display, automatically dimmed exterior mirrors, 12-way electrical seats with manual leg extension, electronic reclinable rear seats, MicroTech upholstery, 3-zone climate control, rear control and entertainment screen, heated steering wheel and rear seats, 11 kW AC charging, and Harman Kardon premium audio system.

 

Performance Pack is available on Long range Dual motor only and features 22-inch Performance forged wheels, Brembo brake calipers in Swedish gold, summer performance tires, Polestar engineered brake discs, Polestar engineered performance chassis, Swedish gold seat belts and valve stem caps.

 

Polestar 4’s innovative design maximizes aerodynamic efficiency with a low nose, retractable door handles, flush glazing with frameless windows, rear aero blades and airflow optimization around the rear light bar. The rear glass has been eliminated and replaced by a high-definition screen that shows a real-time feed from a roof-mounted rear camera, enabling a far wider field of view compared to what is found in most modern vehicles.

 

The fastest production car the brand has ever developed to date, Polestar 4 can accomplish a 0-100 kph sprint in 3.7 seconds^[2] and has a maximum power output of 544 hp. In line with the Polestar brand, driving dynamics and performance are a priority, with sharp steering and handling responses that result in a thrilling and nimble experience for all occupants.

 

The Long range Single motor variant features a rear-wheel-drive powertrain capable of delivering 272 hp and 253 lb-ft of torque with a preliminary range target of over 483 km EPA^[2]. A 102 kWh battery is fitted to both long range versions, with up to 200 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging included.

 

Polestar 4's infotainment system is powered by Android Automotive OS, and the Snapdragon Cockpit Platform now utilizes a 15.4-inch landscape-oriented screen.

Thanks to Google built-in, including Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play, Polestar continues to offer a leading connected in-car experience. As with all other Polestar cars, regular over-the-air (OTA) updates allow for new features and improvements to be sent remotely to all vehicles.

 

Polestar recently announced the expansion of its manufacturing footprint into South Korea, through an agreement between Polestar, Geely Holding and Renault Korea Motors (RKM). Expected to begin in 2025, the agreement will bring contract manufacturing of Polestar 4 vehicles for the North American and domestic South Korean markets to RKM’s Busan, South Korea plant.

 

Polestar 4 premiered globally at the Shanghai Auto Show in April 2023 and went on sale in Europe and Australia in January 2024. The vehicle joins the Polestar 2 fastback and Polestar 3 SUV in the brand’s electric lineup as it transitions from a one-car to a three-car company in 2024.

Mercedes-Benz Canada Announces Pricing for the all-new E-Class Sedan

MERCEDES-BENZ CANADA - The Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan – the standard for mid-range luxury sedans for more than 75 years – is ready for its next chapter. Arriving in Canadian dealerships in April 2024 at an all-inclusive cash purchase price of $79,8401(European model 2024 E 350 Sedan pictured, price includes optional 20" AMG Multi-Spoke Alloy wheels, base MSRP of $73,900, plus fees and additional charges), the new E-Class seamlessly brings together tradition and modernity, pairing classic sedan proportions with distinctive new design elements, and featuring the very best of digital and analog luxury throughout its spacious interior. The new E-Class is both an homage to its roots as a luxury sedan and a technological powerhouse, with significant advances throughout. It introduces a new third generation MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, creating a foundation for an immersive entertainment experience, including the optional MBUX Superscreen. The E 350 sedan offers a 2.0L Inline-4 Turbo with 48V Mild Hybrid System, while the E 450 sedan features a 3.0L Inline-6 Turbo with 48V Mild Hybrid System.

The all-new E-Class greets the driver and passengers with a premium mix of the highest quality interior surfaces, which feature a new fine-grain finish. A high-resolution 14.4" central multimedia display appears to float in the centre of the dashboard. Customers who opt for the MBUX Superscreen Package will enjoy the additional 12.3" front passenger display, privacy function for passenger display, and the all-new selfie and video camera. The large glass surface of the MBUX Superscreen extends from the A-pillar on the passenger side to the central display, giving front passengers their own personal display and control area. The new E-Class offers extensive standard equipment, including Panoramic Sliding Sunroof, Heated Front Seats, Heated Steering Wheel, KEYLESS-GO, MBUX Navigation Premium, 64-Colour Ambient Lighting, 14.4-inch central multimedia touchscreen display, Blind Spot Assist, Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC and much more.

The electronic architecture in the new sedan is more software-driven, which makes individual updates easier in the future. Numerous functions are powered by a new central onboard computer, including: a zero-layer design which reduces user scrolling for common functions and an optional MBUX Interior Assistant. Artificial Intelligence adapts to personal habits and helps customers with their daily routines.

The available Burmester® 4D Surround Sound with Dolby Atmos® Spatial Audio features 17 premium speakers (including speaker units in the headliner), 15 amplifier channels, a total system output of 730 watts and Dolby Atmos® technology for compatible audio formats, including playback via online music streaming services like Apple Music2 and Amazon Music2.

The new exterior features the proportions of a classic 'cab-backward' design (a short front overhang and long hood) as well as progressive design elements, including a black panel connecting the radiator grille with the headlamps. High-performance LED headlamps are fitted standard, with the optional DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps constantly adapting to the illumination of the road to the lighting conditions, traffic situation, course of the road and weather. Highlights at the rear include the two-section LED taillights with a new contour and unique star motif design.

When it comes to spaciousness, the E-Class is one of the favourites in its segment. The driver enjoys five millimetres more headroom than in the previous model. The rear passengers particularly benefit from the two centimetre-longer wheelbase: knee room and maximum legroom are increased by 10 and 17 millimetres respectively. The increase in elbow width in the rear is even greater: it is now 1,519 millimetres. This is an increase of 25 millimetres, and almost S-Class level. The luggage capacity is up to 540 litres.

Customers in Canada can further sharpen the look of the E-Class sedan with an array of paint options, including a new Verde Silver Metallic finish, a variety of wheel designs in 18" to 21" sizes, and an optional illuminated grille, where the contour of the radiator grille lights up as a perimeter light. The available DIGITAL LIGHT LED headlamps constantly adapt the illumination of the road to the lighting conditions, the traffic situation, the course of the road and the weather.

Standard 4MATIC all-wheel drive and AGILITY CONTROL suspension with selective damping delivers outstanding ride comfort and agile handling. Available 4.5 Degree Rear Axle Steering, part of the optional AIRMATIC Package, further enhances handling stability and maneuverability. The package also includes AIRMATIC suspension with air springs and adaptive ADS+ dampers controlled automatically for each individual wheel, and separately during rebound and compression.

The new Mercedes-Benz Digital Vehicle Key, standard on the new E-Class, enables users to unlock, lock, and start the vehicle with a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch. Key sharing is also possible. In doing so, the main user of the Mercedes me Connect account can assign different access for each device3.

The New Ford Explorer: It’s All in the Name

FORD CANADA - The adventure continues. Ford Explorer^® sets a new standard again with an updated lineup of models, all featuring a redesigned interior, advanced new technology and bolder exterior styling to create Ford’s best Explorer yet.

For more than three decades, Explorer has helped define SUV comfort, performance and functionality. The new 2025 Explorer lineup – from well-equipped Active to stylish ST-Line to high-performance ST and top-of-the-line Platinum – continues that legacy with a more refined cabin that features sophisticated new colour, texture and material choices, and introduces the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system.

 

And for the first time, Explorer drivers who opt for ST-Line, ST and Platinum models can enjoy the convenience of Ford BlueCruise² hands-free highway driving.    

 

“For nearly 35 years, families have chosen the Ford Explorer, making it America’s all-time best-selling SUV. We have refined almost every part of the new Explorer – focusing on a redesigned interior, additional technology like BlueCruise hands-free highway driving and special editions like the 400 horsepower Explorer ST. It’s the right combination of delivering what the next generation of customers want and love in a large SUV,” said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue.

 

Explore with More

• Travel in comfort – Redesigned interior with softer touchpoints and premium materials makes for more comfortable journeys.
• Hands-free exploring – Available Ford BlueCruise² makes hands-free highway driving a reality for Explorer owners.
• Extend your digital life – The Ford Digital Experience infotainment system enables drivers to access their favourite apps and services from Google and Amazon³, through the new integrated native experience, as well as with Apple CarPlay^® powered by iPhone and Android Auto™ through other compatible devices⁴.

 

A new level of Explorer comfort

Explorer’s redesigned interior catches the eye with fine details, surfaces and colours, including new wrap-and-stitch soft-touch surfaces on the center console, door panels and redesigned dashboard, and available ActiveX^® durable and premium synthetic seating material. Silver mesh accents further the premium feel of the updated interior.

The dashboard has been pushed forward to give front-row passengers a more open and spacious cabin. An integrated tray below the touchscreen houses an available wireless phone charging pad and there are USB connections to charge mobile devices in all three rows.⁵

“The new Explorer starts with a great foundation. Customers told us they love the way it drives and the all-wheel drive. So, we focused on improving other areas including redesigning the interior with new materials, textures and colours to make sitting inside Explorer as enjoyable as driving one,” said Kelley Clark, Explorer chief engineer.

 

Explorer brings new standard interior colour schemes across the lineup:

• Platinum
• Mojave Dusk leather instrument panel, door panels and console with matched accent stitching
• Mojave Dusk leather seats with matched accent stitching
• ST
• Black Onyx instrument panel, door panels and console with red accent stitching
• Black Onyx ActiveX^® seats with Miko suede inserts and red accent stitching
• ST-Line
• Black Onyx instrument panel, door panels and console with red accent stitching
• Black Onyx ActiveX^® seats with cloth inserts and red accent stitching
• Active
• Ultra Dark Space Gray instrument panel, door panels and console with Harvest Bronze accent stitching
• Dark Gray soft-touch seats with Black Onyx inserts and Harvest Bronze accent stitching

 

Colour your adventures

Standard on Platinum and ST, and available on ST-Line, Explorer customers can choose from seven ambient lighting options: Ice Blue, Orange, Soft Blue, Red, Green, Blue and Purple.

 

Elevate your driving experience

Explorer is the first Ford vehicle to include the new Ford Digital Experience, which allows customers to access their digital life inside the car. It is designed to allow greater connection and personalization for our customers through profiles, content, and apps, helping make time behind the wheel more enjoyable, even when parked.  

 

The displays on the 13.2-inch touchscreen allow for easy control, and integration with Google Maps allows navigation screens to be displayed on both the touchscreen and the 12.3-inch digital cluster.

 

Designed to prioritize the use of voice, Google Assistant serves as the default voice assistant and Alexa Built-In is also available as an alternative for in-vehicle controls including to set in-vehicle temperature, search information, find and set a destination and request a specific broadcast or satellite radio station. It can also help with making calls, sending texts, setting a meeting, and controlling connected home devices.

 

Customers can enjoy streaming music, audiobooks, and podcasts using entertainment apps downloaded on Google Play, including Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and iHeartRadio, as well as embedded SiriusXM⁶ with 360L for a personalized listening experience so they are always available in the vehicle, regardless of whether a smartphone is connected in the vehicle. 

 

While parked, Explorer customers can:

• Watch videos and stream their favourite movies and TV shows with apps such as YouTube, Prime Video and more to stay entertained while out and about on daily journeys.
• Surf the web using the available Vivaldi Browser app – as well as Google Chrome coming soon – including with a Bluetooth-connected keyboard to make typing easier.
• Play games on the touchscreen by selecting from a growing list of games available on Google Play, including a Ford-exclusive version of racing game Asphalt Nitro 2; users can connect a Bluetooth-enabled gaming controller for a more immersive experience.

The Ford Digital Experience platform is designed to enable more apps and services in the future and help make the vehicle better over time thanks to over-the-air software update capability, available for the first time to Explorer owners.

 

Plus, 5G wireless technology⁷ brings incredibly fast connectivity and, with a Ford Premium Connectivity plan, it will provide the best possible in-vehicle experience. Customers also have the option to activate a Wi-Fi hot spot that gives Internet access to up to 10 mobile devices.

 

Hands-free highway driving

Select trims of the new Explorer are equipped with Ford BlueCruise hardware, enabling hands-free highway driving that helps make long road trips or navigating stop-and-go traffic easier and more enjoyable. The system includes features such as Lane Change Assist, allowing a driver to switch lanes hands-free with a tap of the turn signal when the path is clear, and In-Lane Repositioning, which helps provide more space by subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes. With BlueCruise assisting with the braking, accelerating and steering, it helps reduce some of the stress of driving, allowing you to arrive more energized and refreshed at your destination.

 

New Explorer customers with BlueCruise-equipped vehicles can choose to activate a Connected Services plan at the time of vehicle purchase for one year or experience hands-free highway driving with a complimentary 90-day trial. At the end of the trial, customers have the flexibility to activate annually or monthly, based on their needs.
