Judging by the picture, the car will have 4 doors and narrow tail light. Polestar reveals that this model will make the Google Android HMI system debuted with a “clever” Google Assistant, which features are close to Alexa’s Amazon.
The machine will be powered by an all-electric 249 kW power unit, equivalent to 400 hp. The battery will allow a 400 km mileage. The price of Polestar 2 will be similar to that of Tesla Model 3 sold in the US for 44,000 USD.
