It isn’t often that one gets to experience the fruits of a Chinese-Scandinavian partnership, but that’s exactly what the Polestar 2 is.
This is, as its name would suggest, the second car from Polestar, formerly Volvo’s performance division – a bit like AMG is to Mercedes – but now a sister brand that, like Volvo, is owned by Chinese automotive giant Geely.
Geely also owns Lotus and the London Electric Vehicle Company, producers of the electric London taxi. But like those, Polestar has been given the autonomy to stand on its own two feet and forge its own identity.
The Polestar 1 was something of an experiment for the new company. A limited-run, high-performance hybrid super-saloon with a six-figure price tag and the most handsome of appearances. I’ll hopefully have more to share on that later in the year, but for now I have the Polestar 2 at my disposal, a mass-production, all-electric car that is priced from $63,000 in the US and £49,900 in the UK - Link
