Polestar 4, Euro NCAP wins highest safety rating
Jul 10, 2025

Euro NCAP, a European new car safety assessment program, has certified vehicle safety test results since 1997 and gives top-rated five stars only to vehicles with good crash protection and advanced accident prevention technology.
Polestar 4 was recognized for its outstanding performance by Euro NCAP with full marks on both the front offset and side column collision tests, and full marks on both the front offset and side collision tests. It recorded 92% in adult occupant protection, demonstrating the highest level of safety in the latest evaluation criteria in Euro NCAP. In addition, it recorded 85% in the child occupant protection category, 81% in pedestrian protection and 79% in safety assistance systems, with an overall score of 86% and 5 stars.
Polestar 4 is equipped with a total of seven airbags, including an internal side airbag to reduce collisions between occupants in the event of an accident. In addition, an SOS call system that automatically sends a rescue request in the event of a serious accident is applied. Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are provided as features to prevent accidents in advance, continuously detecting vehicle surroundings through 11 external cameras, 1 driver monitoring camera, 1 medium-range radar, and 12 ultrasonic sensors, and support safety through warnings or interventions if necessary. In addition, rear cameras mounted on the vehicle roof replace the existing rear glass, securing a wide viewing angle and improved low-light viewing, so that rear viewing does not interfere with the presence of luggage or passengers.
Michael Lohscheler, Polestar CEO, said, "The Polestar 4 is Polestar's newest model, and we achieved the highest safety rating in this evaluation, demonstrating how safe and high-performance electric vehicles we are building." In addition, "As soon as customers choose Polestar, they choose one of the safest vehicles in the entire automotive market, not just electric vehicles," he said.
Meanwhile, Polestar 4 is currently the third model in the Polestar lineup to achieve the highest Euro NCAP rating, making Polestar the EV brand with the highest safety rating for all vehicles. Polestar 2 received its highest rating in 2021, and Polestar 3 set new safety standards earlier this year, hitting 93% in the child occupant protection category.
