Segment
Mid SUV
Polestar's coupe-SUV — and the brand's most controversial design choice yet: no rear window. Instead, a roof-mounted camera feeds a digital rear-view mirror. Built in China by Geely on the SEA platform (shared with Smart #1). 100 kWh battery, single rear motor (268 bhp) or dual-motor AWD (536 bhp). 0–62 in 7.1s (RWD) / 3.7s (AWD). Range 367 miles WLTP RWD, 332 miles AWD. 200 kW DC charging. Cabin is a step on from Polestar 2 — bigger, plusher, more space. The no-rear-window decision is genuinely strange the first time you sit in the back, but the digital mirror works well in practice.
