In the lead-up to the Chinese New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, the electric car industry has set its sights on the boom of the holiday rush, and Swedish electric performance car brand Polestar has taken center stage at the celebration. With a growing influence in China, Polestar has partnered with Chinese influencers and social media users to usher in the Year of the Rabbit with their latest model, the Polestar 4.

Celebrities and guests attended an event where the Polestar 4 was unveiled, with the focus on the car's performance and sustainable features. The Polestar 4, a fully electric, high-performance SUV, aligns with the company's commitment to lowering carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly travel. According to the Polestar website, the vehicle produces only 19.4 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent throughout its entire lifecycle, making it the company's lowest-emitting mass-produced car.
As the new year gets underway, many Weibo users have taken to social media to share their excitement and experiences with the Polestar 4. Polestar Experience Officer, Wang Yang (@王阳0313), shared a video of themselves driving the car, wishing their followers a prosperous and sustainable 2024. They urged their followers to embrace low-carbon travel and sustainable development, citing how the Polestar 4 aligns with this goal.
Other users shared their own videos of themselves with the car, expressing their enthusiasm for the Polestar 4 and the brand's commitment to sustainability. Singer and Polestar fan Johnny Yang (@杨琴Johnny) received a surprise gift from Polestar - a chance to test drive the Polestar 4 in Shenzhen. Yang's reaction to the car, captured in a video, showcased the car's performance, safety features, and sleek design.
With the Year of the Rabbit symbolizing hope and good fortune, many Weibo users took the opportunity to make wishes for the year ahead. Some users wished to explore new destinations with the Polestar 4, including the Arctic and Turkey. Others expressed their desire to buy the car, highlighting its zero to 100km/h acceleration of only 3.8 seconds and maximum continuous acceleration of 8 times without power loss.
In the spirit of the Chinese New Year, Polestar launched a digital campaign encouraging users to collect and share "Star Cards" for a chance to win cash prizes. By collecting virtual cards featuring different Polestar models, users could participate in a digital lottery and win red envelopes, a popular tradition during the holiday season.
As the electric vehicle market in China continues to grow, Polestar has focused on its commitment to environmental protection and low-carbon travel. The Polestar 4's unveiling ahead of the Chinese New Year celebrations signals the company's ambition to become a leading player in the country's rapidly evolving market. The influence of social media and the support of Chinese influencers and users will undoubtedly play a key role in its success.
In an interview with Automotive News Europe, Polestar CEO Thomas Ingenlath spoke about the brand's increasing presence in China and its plans for the future. "China is very important for us," said Ingenlath. "It's the biggest car market in the world and the number one market for electrification." He also touched on Polestar's commitment to sustainability, stating, "The Polestar 4 aligns with our goal of reducing carbon emissions and promoting eco-friendly travel."
As 2024 begins, the Polestar brand is poised to make an even greater impact in the Chinese market and beyond, with the Polestar 4 leading the charge for a more sustainable and prosperous future.
