The first two prototypes of Polestar electric vehicles, called Polestar 1and2, developed under the leadership of Volvo head Thomas Ingenlath. The two models strongly resembled the design language of the Swedish auto giant. But the new model Polestar 3, although it retains some stylistic elements, has a more independent appearance.According to the carmaker, it is intended to show the general direction of design solutions, as well as “great ambitions and confidence that rely on the improved user experience provided by the digital technologies of electric vehicles of the future".

Technical details about the power plant of the electric vehicle were not announced at the presentation.However, the company claims that the Polestar 3 will have a range of 500 km with 80% battery charge, which corresponds to 625 km in full charge.

“This car is not just a dream, it conveys ideas with a realistic background, and the company is consistently trying to show the differences from the core Volvo line in sustainability and digitalisation. Bright examples include the eye-tracking sensor on the dashboard, which opens up new opportunities for the driver, or the vegan interior, which will most likely use cork, hemp and other natural materials. Leather will only be available on request and with a clear desire," said Maximilian Missoni, Director of Design at Polestar.
