Polestar 4 on salary sacrifice: 4% BiK, from £56,750, up to 385 miles

At 4% benefit-in-kind for 2026/27, the Polestar 4 lands squarely in the sweet spot that's making salary sacrifice schemes so hard to argue against right now, per The Electric Car Scheme. The Long Range Single Motor's 385-mile WLTP figure, from a list price of £56,750 according to Polestar UK, gives drivers Model Y-rivalling range, though the Tesla is cheaper to buy and charges faster. The Electric Car Scheme says salary sacrifice takes 20-50% off a personal lease, depending on the driver's tax band. For fleets still weighing SUV-coupé novelty against practicality, the tax maths alone should get this onto the shortlist — the low BIK does most of the persuading before range or charging speed even enter the conversation.

Correction, 16 October 2026: this article gave the Polestar 4's starting price as £53,750, the figure in The Electric Car Scheme's post. Polestar UK's list price at the time was £56,750. We have also attributed the salary sacrifice saving to The Electric Car Scheme.
