The Polestar is a thoroughly practical electric hatch which is good to drive, has a decent range, is packed with tech and could be cheaper to run than a diesel - especially for company car drivers.

Nicki Says

“The Polestar is an intriguing car which fills a big gap in the market. It's packed with Scandi-Cool features, has got a decent range and is practical and safe too, making it ideal for parents like me.”

Ginny Says

“The Polestar is a fascinating car for many reasons, but one of the most interesting features is how this new brand's cars will be sold. Boutique-style shops in malls will let you see and test drive the cars but all sales will be done online. It feels like a glimpse into the future.”

Is the Polestar a Volvo?

Yes, they are built by the same company and the concept was originally going to be a Volvo. But it was launched under the Polestar brand instead.

Is the Polestar 2 a hybrid?

No, the Polestar 2 is a full electric car.

Can you tow with a Polestar 2?

Yes – it can tow up to 1,500kg and a factory-fitted bar is a £1,000 option.

Are there any Polestar dealers?

Not really. The Polestar will be sold entirely online with direct links to the manufacturer through its website. However you will still be able to sit in the car and go for test drives at ‘Polestar Spaces’ which are shops located in shopping centres. There is one planned for London’s Westfield and Manchester too.

How do I get it serviced?

All servicing can be booked online and the car will be collected and dropped back to you.
