Importing this model

Prices abroad

Not enough listings collected yet in Germany, Belgium, Spain, Italy or the United Kingdom for this model.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Source: BOFiP (French tax doctrine), CO₂ and weight malus · CO2 malus and weight malus: imported used car in France

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Polestar Polestar 4”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

Battery warranty : Battery warranty not collected yet for this model: ask the seller or the manufacturer.

A 2024 Polestar 4 (2 years old) keeps about 95% of its original capacity on average: an average loss of 2.3% a year measured on more than 22,700 EVs, higher with a lot of rapid charging. Only a battery test gives a car's real figure. Geotab (new tab)

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier chez Polestar les rappels et mises à jour logicielles effectués.
  • Tester l'écran central, les aides à la conduite et la connectivité pendant l'essai.
  • Contrôler l'état de santé de la batterie et l'autonomie réelle (batterie de 100 kWh brute).
  • Vérifier la garantie constructeur restante : le modèle est récent.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Quelle version (272 ou 544 ch) et quelle autonomie réelle observez-vous ?
  • Des rappels ou mises à jour logicielles ont-ils été effectués en concession ?
  • Y a-t-il eu des interventions sous garantie ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Polestar 4 I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
