Polestar

Polestar is preparing to expand its horizons from three-box cars to SUVs. The Polestar 3 will give the electric performance brand a presence in the SUV segment and promises to be a road trip- and adventure-worthy electric performance utility.

Back in October 2021, Hertz inked a deal with Tesla that would help the company build "the largest EV rental fleet in North America." Now the global car hire company has formed another EV partnership, this time with Sweden's Polestar.

The Tesla Roadster might have kickstarted the modern electric car revolution, but since then, electric convertibles have been very few and far between. Polestar is looking to spark a change with the sporty O2 convertible concept.

Using its all-electric five-door fastback as a jumping off point, Polestar has produced a vehicle carefully engineered for performance in the Arctic Circle. The Swedish automaker is using the one-off to drill into the fine details around EV performance.

Cake's all-new Makka, the "ultimate convenience machine," has gotten even more convenient in a collaboration with Polestar. The two companies team on a zero-emissions commuter tandem, a Makka that mounts on back of a Polestar 2 and charges on the ride.

In March, Polestar signaled its intentions to move beyond electric cars with an electric transporter concept for carrying goods around urban areas, and it has now turned up to IAA 2021 in Germany with a fully-functioning prototype.

Volvo's performance brand Polestar has revealed plans for a forthcoming model that will be entirely carbon neutral, which would involve a dramatic rethink of the company's entire production process to avoid the "cop-out" of carbon offsetting.

Advances in electric propulsion have opened up some interesting possibilities when it comes to moving goods through busy urban areas, and now automaker Polestar has leveraged its expertise in this area to cook up an electric cargo mover of its own.

Auto China (Beijing Motor Show) became the first international auto show of the post-corona era when it took place between September 26 and October 5. The show was quite different from past events but still brought plenty to see.

Polestar built its debut all-electric car to compete with those of Tesla, and while the Polestar 2 will demand a deeper dive into the pockets for now, the vehicle has come in a little cheaper than the price flagged last year.

The sporty, low-slung, all-electric Precept concept takes a decisive step away from from the toothy, repackaged Volvo styling of previous Polestar designs, looking every bit the part of a performance halo.

​​Following the reveal of its debut hybrid GT back in 2017, Polestar has now unveiled a fully electrified sedan it hopes will broaden the brand’s appeal, with a sub-five second 0-100 km/h sprint and a range to make some rivals sweat.​
