Last week's U.S. sales ban spurred a fire sale on the remaining Polestar 3 and 4 inventory—and you won't believe the deals. Polestar was forced to exit the U.S. market due to a change in federal regulations surrounding connected car services, which affects vehicles manufactured in China and Russia.
The U.S. government's decision to ban the Chinese-owned company from selling new cars on our shores has kickstarted a fire sale of existing Polestar 3 and Polestar 4 inventory at dealers across the country. Right now, you can qualify for up to $25,000 off a new Polestar 3 or Polestar 4. That would bring the price of a base, rear-wheel-drive Polestar 4 from $57,800 to a very attractive $32,800. For comparison, that's $195 less than a 2027 Chevy Bolt RS, one of the most affordable EVs on the market today.

The Polestar 3, which originally had starting prices higher than those of the Polestar 4, is also available with a large $23,000 discount, bringing the base price of a $74,800 Long Range Dual Motor model down to $51,800 with no options.
If you aren't able to pay cash for your new Polestar (or get financing from your bank or credit union), there are also compelling lease and finance deals. Polestar 4s are eligible for up to $19,000 in lease cash, bringing the monthly payment of a base single-motor model down to just $399 per month for 39 months. There's also a zero percent financing offer for 60 months with an $18,000 discount off the 4.
Taking a chance on a Polestar doesn't come without risk. Right now, it's unclear how service, maintenance, and warranty will be handled once the company exits the U.S. market, though Polestar says those will continue. It's possible that its sister brand, Volvo, will provide such services through its dealers, but specifics have not yet been communicated.
If the aforementioned deals sound attractive to you—and we wouldn't blame you if they do—we'd suggest acting quickly, as Polestar is limited to whatever existing inventory is on hand. You likely won't be able to be picky about options or colors, but a quick review of Polestar 4 inventory shows most of them are some shade of gray anyway.
