Polestar 1 : the Hybrid Gamble from Volvo Cars

This grand tourer model, the first bearing a star-shaped logo, has made Polestar into a separate car maker, aiming to make electric high performance vehicles.

The icing on the cake : the all-inclusive formula includes complete maintenance and a concierge service which provides highly exclusive assistance.
