Polestar, the electric vehicle brand spun off from Volvo, just unveiled a new SUV that will be for sale in the US next year

Polestar, the electric vehicle brand spun off from Volvo, just unveiled a new SUV that will be for sale in the United States next year. It finally does away with something that’s become increasingly pointless in new vehicles, anyway: The back window. The Polestar 4 is a “coupe-shaped” SUV, with a rear roof that slopes down rather than having a flat back end. This has been a trendy vehicle style for years now, with many models from brands like BMW, Mercedes and Audi adopting the style.

At any rate, back windows are not expressly required by US auto safety regulations, according to Polestar. Beside that, many vehicles also have camera-based rear view mirrors inside the cabin instead of just the regular reflecting mirror. These show a view behind the car that’s actually from a camera on the back of the vehicle. That way, the rear view “mirror” always has a clear view, even if there are tall passengers or cargo in the back.

Taking on the Merc GLC coupe? Looks pretty slick!

CNN disinformation! Polestar is run by a Chinese conglomotate that bought Volvo so that they could incorporate Volvo's designs. The CNN wording makes it sound the other way around.
