Polestar, according to the original mission statement, is an electric premium brand that puts performance and design at its core. To which we might also add “it’s not Tesla” as an increasingly potent selling point. The lack of a rear windscreen is a bold design choice. The result is a pleasingly fastback silhouette and a uniquely cocooning rear compartment. Any incipient claustrophobia is offset by the presence of a huge panoramic roof and the option of electro-chromatic glass.
