Polestar unveiled their upcoming Polestar 4, a small SUV which the company is calling an “SUV Coupé,” at the Shanghai Auto Show today. The new Polestar 4 will be Polestar’s fastest car yet, capable of 0-60 in 3.8 seconds from 400kW (544hp) of motor power in dual-motor configuration.

GM flew us out to beautiful Park City Utah to take a look at the Cadillac Lyric EV last week. It was our first hands-on drive of GM’s first mass market Ultium drivetrain (with apologies to the 9000lb gorilla in the room, niche HummerEV) vehicle. With Cadillac no longer releasing ICE vehicles and going full EV in just 8 short years, it isn’t a stretch to say that the brand is betting the company on the success of its first EV. So, how’d it do? First of all the Lyriq is a stunner in terms of outward appearance. It…
