Polestar 4: The first car without a rear window to make its way onto British roads
The Swedish-made Polestar 4 will be fitted with a high-definition screen that shows a real-time feed from a roof-mounted rear camera instead of a rear-view mirror.
The first car without a rear window is set to make its way onto British roads.
The Swedish-made Polestar 4 will have a high-definition screen instead of a rearview mirror that shows live video from a camera on the roof. To make more room for the driver’s head, the Volvo-owned car company took out the back window and put in a camera instead. It said that drivers would have a “unique experience” and be able to see the road behind them better.

Reporter for Sky News Quentin Willson said, “Rear windows on cars have been getting smaller and smaller, and as more people want more curvy shapes, you have a problem because the window keeps getting smaller and you need more headroom.”
“Volvo did the smart thing by getting rid of the back window and giving us this new one.”
It’s been out in China since December, and no one has said anything bad about it.
“The argument is, I think, that it gives you a better view because the camera is high definition, it’s a wider arc, and you see more than you would through that grimy rear window.”

There are examples of this before. Many cars don’t have windows that let you see what’s behind them, and many trucks now have cams instead of wing mirrors.

“We see so many cars on the roads with obscured windows because the car’s full of stuff, and if you get one passenger in the middle, it’s hard to see out,” stated Willson.
“That means we shouldn’t scream in fear that we’ve lost it.”
“It’s just the stylistic evolutionary process of the motor car.”
“It’s bold and challenging—that’s what we need in car design,” he said.
“We’ve been through a stage where everything was homogeneous and boring, and this is actually very revolutionary, so let’s welcome it rather than decry it.”
People in the UK should be able to buy the Polestar 4 in August. It will cost at least £59,990.
Max Missoni, Polestar’s head of design, said, “With the Polestar Precept, we showed a stunning new occupant experience by removing the rear window and moving the rear header, which is an important safety feature, further back.” This means that people in the back can now have a unique experience in our SUV car.
