Wen 2 taels. Polestar is a global high-performance electric car jointly owned by Geely and Volvo, and they all know that Geely acquired Volvo, so this brand can be largely regarded as Geely's layout in the global high-end electric car field.
Polestar currently has three models on sale, including two SUVs, of which the Polestar 3 will start production in Chengdu this year, and the South Carolina plant in the United States is scheduled to start production in mid-2024.
As the flagship SUV of the Polestar brand, the Polestar 3 is priced at a price range of $6980-79.800,000, as far as the domestic tram market is concerned, this ** is quite luxurious, and in this luxury tram you can see many designs similar to Volvo full of delicacy and quality.
In terms of appearance, the Polestar 3 is full of strong Volvo shadows, simple design style, the most eye-catching on the front face is the classic pair of "Thor's hammer" headlights, full of technology, while the front bumper of the new car adopts a through-type decorative strip and connects with the triangular ventilation openings on both sides, which widens the visual width of the front of the car.
The Polestar 3 is more like a crossover SUV, similar to the design concept of the BMW IX that was previously launched, unlike traditional SUVs with a high chassis and square body, but with a lower front bonnet to improve the car's aerodynamics.
The Polestar 3's sleek silhouette gives it a sleek look, with a sleek roofline, flat side windows, 'semi-hidden' door handles and frameless mirrors that not only have a sense of design, but also optimise aerodynamics to achieve a drag coefficient of 029。
The rear of the new car is equipped with a roof spoiler, the tail light group adopts a through-type design, the ring light strip is also very Geely family shadow, the trunk ** is inlaid with the Polestar logo, and the rear of the car is also equipped with silver vent decorative plates on both sides, with the two-tone design of the rear surround of the car, so that the rear of the new car is more three-dimensional.
The interior of the Polestar 3 is more Volvo shadow, and the center display is a large vertical center display, combined with the ** channel area knob-type electronic gear shift mechanism, showing the Polestar brand's ultra-simple car manufacturing concept. In addition, a large number of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials are used in the car, taking into account the luxurious texture and touch, and the car part uses the native Android in-vehicle system jointly developed by Polestar and Google, and also supports iFLYTEK, AutoNavi Map, Huawei AppGallery, NetEase Cloud** and so on for the Chinese market.
The quality of the Polestar 3 is also reflected in the details, with LED headlights that can project light by adapting to the vehicle's surroundings, using cameras to identify oncoming cars on the road, blocking some of the beams to avoid dazzling the oncoming driver, and the lighting system that automatically adjusts the intensity, size and height of the beam based on light, weather conditions and the speed of the car. This is similar to the headlight function of the M9 released by Wenjie.
Written at the end: At present, Polestar's sales in China are not high, after all, the domestic market competition is too large, and Geely has many more cost-effective products, so Polestar needs to enhance its brand awareness if it wants to improve its competitiveness in China, and Polestar has a broader market prospect for Geely overseas.
