Since 2018 and independence from the Volvo brand, Polestar has not yet set foot on our French roads. However, it is sold in most major European markets! But one a lawsuit with Citroën, which accused him of a logo too similar to his own initially banned the brand from offering its models in France. After two years of litigation, Citroën withdrew the proceedings in August 2022. So Polestar now has complete freedom to come and trample our flowerbeds. Let’s remember three years after the planned date. But who exactly is Polestar? Originally founded as an independent sports labelthe cook announced himself in reduction of Volvo models in sports versions. Creations that caught the attention of the main stakeholder, who has been associated with Polestar several times.

Polestar 1, 2 and 3…

In 2015, this partnership changed character and Volvo acquired Polestar was the first to make it his sports label. Since 2018, it is a separate brand, dedicated to premium models, and above all 100% electric from the Volvo group. To attract the public’s attention and make a statement, his first model was the Polestar 1 hybrid coupe, which developed more than 600 horsepower. It was limited to only 1,500 units, and very quickly the brand was able to focus on its edge. Electric! That’s how it turned out Polestar 2 in 2020, a four-door sedan to compete with the Tesla Model 3. With 231 horsepower, it provides a range of up to 481 kilometers on electricity! Its great success is prompting Polestar to expand and diversify its range in Europe. At the end of last year, she lifted the curtain Polestar 3, its first large electric SUVwhich will be launched this year.

…waiting for 4 and 5

It just launched in China (since 2010, Volvo belongs to the Chinese group Geely), and Polestar took the opportunity to announce their next models… Although these are only prototypes, we already know a little more about them. Polestar 5 will be a large sedan with a coupe profile. For example, in the style of the Audi e-tron GT. It was already known, but even more is being revealed with a barely disguised specimen, which allows you to appreciate all its proportions. This is especially true of the Polestar 4, which is long overdue, always well disguised. It will be a crossover coupewhich will share its underpinnings with the Polestar 3. In the images, his profile is very fastback, practically a sedan ! He will be represented in his serial version from this autumn ! The first teasers for its sister Polestar 5 should arrive in the coming weeks. Hopefully by then Polestar will confirm its arrival in France…
