Polestar Guide

Polestar has evolved from Volvo's performance division into a standalone premium electric car brand focused on minimalist Scandinavian design, cutting-edge technology and long-range EVs. Sharing engineering with Volvo and Geely while developing its own identity, Polestar has rapidly expanded from a single fastback into a growing range of SUVs and grand tourers.

Clean Scandinavian styling, high-quality interiors, impressive performance and a strong focus on innovation have established Polestar as one of Europe's leading premium electric vehicle manufacturers.
