Polestar: a history
With its origins in Swedish Touring Car Racing, the first petrol-powered Polestar was commissioned in 1996 to help the Volvo team take out pole position in the championship. This incredible showcase of innovation in the automotive arena led them to be acquired by Volvo in 2015.
Fast forward to 2017, and Polestar was reinvented as an electric car brand. The first Polestar 1 – a 4-cylinder, 1969 cc, plug-in hybrid coupe hit showrooms in 2018. Although discontinued, the Polestar 1 pushed boundaries and inspired its all-electric descendants, the Polestar 1 and Polestar 2.

For those looking for a mid-size luxury crossover SUV, the Polestar 3 is for you. Featuring a Long-Range Dual Motor, capable of travelling an impressive 610km on a single charge, with 360kW power. For caravan or trailer owners, the Polestar 3 can be fitted with a folding towbar capable of towing up to 2,200 kg.

To turbocharge the car’s abilities, the Polestar 2 and 3 have Performance Pack upgrades available. This option tunes the powertrain, adding extra horsepower, torque and speed. You’ll also get special edition Swedish gold seatbelts, upgraded brakes, and dampers.
Polestar: superior standard features
Polestar comes straight out of the box with a range of premium features like heated front seats, automatic high beam, and a digital key with pre-climate control as standard.
In addition, Polestar is the world’s first car with Google built into its Android™ Automotive operating system, displayed on a generous 11.2-inch centre display connected to 5G internet for live updates.
Polestar: alluring on-board technology
The Android™ Automotive operating system offers intelligent route planning, Google Assistant voice commands, and in-car apps like Spotify and Google Maps. A suite of smart Advance, Driver Assistance Systems, like Run off Road Mitigation and Post Impact Braking, top the charts on safety features.
Polestars come with top-spec Bowers & Wilkins Audio. Twenty-five speakers positioned around the car (including the headrest) deliver 3D surround sound. Pair your EV with the handy Polestar smartphone app to remotely activate climate control, lock and unlock, check battery status, and more.
Polestar: stylish, sustainable interiors
Polestar takes great care to source its manufacturing materials sustainably, with circularity and traceability in mind. Car seats are crafted in bio-attributed MicroTech vinyl using recycled plastic, while all nappa leather is chrome free. A composite of flaxseed, natural material, is used in place of synthetic. Polestar models use recycled aluminium, with 80% of the raw material coming from post-consumer waste.
Futuristic and fully customisable, you can choose from a selection of upholstery colours and textures for your spacious Polestar interior. Rear seating offers plenty of legroom, and the Polestar 3’s front seats have a memory function that remembers your preferred seating position.
