Design round-up: Polestar 4 coupé; Renault Megane E-Tech facelift; Jeep teases 2027 Cherokee Trailhawk

Polestar 4 coupé updates 

Alongside a series of motor recalibrations, the Polestar 4 coupé has also received a revised trim level structure – rear motor, dual motor and dual motor with performance pack – with subtle design differences between them.

The seatbelt and rotary controls appear in black on the rear motor pack, black with a Swedish gold stripe on the dual motor pack and full Swedish gold for dual motor cars with the performance pack. 

A new prime trim level adds interior upgrades such as Harmon Kardon sound, illuminated star knit door cards, 12-way adjustable seats and reclining and heated rear seats.

Renault Megane E-Tech facelift

Following the EV’s debut four years ago, the Renault Megane E-Tech has received a design update – with a new front end and lighting signature. 

An extra shot of personality has been injected, with a more prominent, sportier bumper and the side air intakes replaced by a new light signature with eight diamond-shaped components in a chequerboard pattern positioned at the outer edges of the bumper – making the vehicle look wider. 

Another design adjustment comes via the Renault logo, which is now positioned under the bonnet. The grille is now closed with a gloss black finish and diamond pattern.

Jeep teases Cherokee Trailhawk 

Jeep has released a teaser image of the new Cherokee Trailhawk that appears to lean into the vehicle’s off-road nature, with a rugged looking front face and U-shaped lighting signature. 

No other details have been released yet, so you’ll have to remain on the edge of your seat.

BYD set to unveil eight new models across three brands at Goodwood 

The BYD group is going hard, as opposed to going home, at Goodwood FOS this year. These eight car debuts will range from global reveals to UK releases, with the Denza brand taking centre stage at the event. 

What’s particularly interesting is the world debut of the Denza Z coupe and Denza Z racing, with this pair of electric coupes offering the latest interpretation of the ‘pure emotion’ design philosophy.

Oilstainlab x Delphi art car 

Oilstainlab, creatorsof the Half-11, has partnered with automotive supplier Delphi to reimagine the Half-11 as an art car. 

The exterior artwork leans into an almost Bunsen-burner like colour palette – with electric blue, red and orange tones layered over a black base colour. Blue lines swirl across the wheelarches and the bonnet, but the focal point of this art car is the roof and rear spoiler, which burn into a bright red/orange tone surrounding the exposed rear engineering. 

This car will embark on a European tour, making its premiere at Ultrace in Gdańsk, Poland, on June 27.
