The electrification of the automobile sector is causing a avalanche of premium novelties. Until now we have never known so many firms and models framed in this part of the market. And the most important thing is that almost all, with some honorable exceptions, come from China. One of the most powerful is Polestar and the reason is very simple to understand: behind it is Geely's money and the technological capacity of Sweden's Volvo.
The last time we talked about the Swedish-Chinese firm was a few days ago. To be more exact for the leak of the patent that affects the design of one of its future novelties, the liftback «5». But now they are the ones who return to the front line to publish a photo of their most important model: the Polestar 3. Also a short video clip that shows some design details, but the most important thing is under the skin of it. Attention…
The Polestar 3 will have a dual-motor electric drivetrain and more than 600 kilometers of autonomy (WLTP)…
As you can see in the image, the Polestar 3 sideline is now official.. We still do not know what its external dimensions are but, knowing that it will be located as the top of the range, it could be around 5 meters. And if we look closely, it does not seem that this "3" has such a generous size. Even so, there are design elements that hide it, such as the roof downline, the high waist line, the "C" pillar cap or the generous wheel arches.
Nor can we ignore the handles to open the doors integrated in the sheet metal or the black plastic that goes in the lower area of these and runs along the lower contour of the bodywork. If we go to the front we can see some vertical style Full LED optics as well as some sharp, sharp lines. At the rear, a spoiler crowns the upper part of the rear window and optics, also Full LED, located in an elevated position with a horizontal layout...
According to statements by Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar…
"Polestar 3 is the SUV of the electric age. Our design identity evolves with this great high-end luxury electric vehicle, with strong individual brand character” [...] “With this car, we bring 'sport' back to the SUV, staying true to our performance roots. »
In terms of technology, just take a look at the press release to find out what some of its innovations will be. The Polestar 3 will include, among others, Autonomous Driving with LiDAR Radar and NVIDIA Software. On the other hand, the powertrain will have two electric motors and a large battery for a range of more than 600 kilometers (WLTP). However, the data that remains to be seen will be released before its debut in October...
