New boss Michael Lohscheller prioritizes efficiencies and commercial uplift.

Polestar sold 44,851 cars globally last year , a 15 percent decline compared to 2023 .

Retail sales are up by 76 percent in Q1 this year , bolstered by the arrival of the 3 and 4.

The lack of a rear windscreen is a bold design choice.

The interior is strong on materials and ambient lighting.

The Long Range dual motor adds an identically sized motor on the front axle for 544 bhp overall, 367 miles of claimed range, and dispatches 62 mph in just 3.8 seconds .

The dual-motor version gains adaptive damping so it feels better planted on the road, and fidgets less over surface imperfections.

The full suite of advanced driver assistance is available, Polestar’s kinship with Volvo bequeathing it with a palpable sense of structural integrity.
