According to reports, Polestar will showcase its full range of products at this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, including the global premiere of the Polestar 4 and the debut of the 2024 Polestar 2. In addition, the previously released Polestar 3 will also meet with consumers.
The Polestar 4 will be a mid-to-large-sized coupe SUV based on the PMA platform. Combined with the official teaser image and previous spy photos, the new car will adopt a split-headlight design, with a new shape on the upper part that looks very sharp when viewed from above. It will also be the first vehicle to mass-produce the design concept of the Precept concept car. Therefore, the overall front-end design is expected to be highly similar to the concept car.
Polestar 3 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under Polestar, and the domestic price has been announced earlier. The price of two versions is between CNY 698,000 and CNY 798,000. The new car will start production at the Chengdu factory in China in 2023 and is expected to begin the first batch of deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2023.
In terms of power, the Polestar 3 will offer two powertrain options: the dual-motor long-range version and the dual-motor high-performance version. The dual-motor long-range version has a maximum power of 490 horsepower, a maximum torque of 840 N·m, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds. The dual-motor high-performance version has a maximum power of 517 horsepower, a maximum torque of 910 N·m, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. It is worth mentioning that Polestar will launch an electric performance 4-door GT, the Polestar 5, in 2024. The new car will greatly restore the design of the concept car in appearance, with the biggest difference being the replacement of the concept car’s butterfly doors with ordinary front-hinged doors.
