Polestar’s latest coupe-SUV slots between the 2 and 3 both in terms of size and price. It has windowless rear-end, dual blade headlights, retractable door handles, flush DLO with frameless door glass, rear aero blades, and rear light bar in single- and dual-motor versions.

Polestar’s first SUV will arrive this month, the ‘3’ a mid-sized electric offering available initially with 360kW or 380kW Long Range Dual Motor drivelines, standard air suspension, panoramic glass roof, LED lighting inside and out, and 21-inch alloy wheels. RWD model to follow soon.

With pricing aimed squarely at Tesla’s Model 3, which is also imported from China, this Volvo off-shoot could help make EV ownership more mainstream.
