A major car brand has finally released its highly-anticipated new electric vehicle, becoming the first car without a rear window to hit UK roads.
The new Polestar 4 has finally landed in the UK with deliveries of the SUV coupe commencing this month. Prices start from £59,990 and a staggering battery range of 385 miles.
Polestar, the Swedish performance electric vehicle brand, has opted to roll its new car out without a rear window, choosing instead to install a digital rear-view "mirror".
This has been shown to offer drivers a much broader view to the rear of the vehicle and improve night-time visibility, in addition to improving space in the back of the car.
The rear view "mirror" uses a high-definition screen that shows a real-time feed from a roof-mounted rear camera, allowing for a far wider field of view than normal.
I have to say, I have a bad feeling about this... what happens when the camera breaks down, and then you can't see out of the back at all?
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure the rear camera will have benefits - but I wouldn't want to be totally reliant on it.
