Poco a poco Polestar is shaping an interesting and attractive range of XNUMX% electric models. When Volvo took over their reins and announced their plans it seemed crazy, but now that we see them rolling down the street things change. As much as They want to attack what is already their largest market in the world: the United States.. For this they have been working on the development of a series of very special models.
The first of them all is the Polestar 3, an large SUV that wants to stand up to all the rivals that the premium firms launch on the market. The first time we saw him was last June, but he did it with something of a trick: covered under a tarp. Now, when a few months have passed, the Swedish premium firm takes a step and publishes a "spy photo". You can't see much in it, since it's camouflaged, but gives us clues as to how it will be...
The new Polestar 3 will be twinned with the future Volvo XC90
As Polestar explained when announcing the development of the 3, will be twinned with the future Volvo XC90. Well, this is the first thing that is not seen in the stolen image because it gives the feeling that it is much smaller. Of course, the situation could arise that even being developed on the CMA basis belong to different segments. In any case, to answer this question, we will still have to wait a few more weeks.
If you look at the picture, we can notice some design features of the Polestar 3. We do not know if it is a coincidence, but it seems that the creative team would have been inspired by the XC40. Especially when you see the shape of the "C" pillar or the line that have the frame of the windows. The rear is not seen as clearly as we would like, but it seems that it is not the same as the prototype that we saw covered by the canvas. Unless, they played cluelessness...
Regarding his technique, little new under the sun. Polestar is not about to uncover its "charms" yet but that does not prevent us from reviewing what we know. An electric drivetrain with two configurations will be added to its CMA platform: single motor and double motor. Also that it will offer enough space to accommodate up to four passengers and that it will be the first Polestar vehicle to be manufactured in the United States…
According to Thomas Ingenlath, CEO of Polestar...
“We will build in America for Americans” […] “Polestar 3 is scheduled to launch in 2022 as a Premium electric performance SUV that will define the look of SUVs in the electric age. It will also be the first Polestar vehicle to be built in the US."
