The most powerful engine version for models
Polestar 1 Performance Hybrid AWD
Engine: 2.0L turbocharged + supercharged I4 + dual electric motors
Torque: 1,000 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.2 s

The Polestar 1 was not merely a halo product — it was a technological statement. Its hybrid system paired a 2.0‑liter four‑cylinder engine, both turbo‑ and supercharged, driving the front wheels with two high‑output electric motors independently driving the rears. Combined output stood at 619 hp and a staggering 1,000 Nm of torque, launching the coupe to 100 km/h in just over 4 seconds. Instant electric thrust filled in any gaps in combustion power, creating a seamless surge of acceleration at any speed.

Handling was equally advanced. The carbon‑fiber‑reinforced body shell kept weight in check, while the adaptive Öhlins dampers and torque‑vectoring rear axle gave the Polestar 1 remarkable agility for a large GT. Steering was precise and naturally weighted, with the car feeling secure and planted even in fast, sweeping corners. Regenerative braking blended smoothly with the mechanical brakes, allowing both precise control and efficient energy recovery.

The Polestar 1’s character was about blending electric immediacy with long‑distance GT poise. It was not a raw track weapon but rather a grand tourer for the electrified age — able to cruise silently for up to 125 km on electric power alone, then unleash supercar‑rivaling pace when the hybrid system called upon all its reserves.

Body Styles

The Polestar 1 was a two‑door, 2+2 luxury grand touring coupe with a fastback silhouette. Based loosely on Volvo’s SPA platform, it shared styling DNA with the Volvo Concept Coupe but sat lower and wider, with a more muscular stance. The long hood, short rear deck, frameless windows, and wide shoulders gave it an elegant yet purposeful profile. Subtle performance cues included deep air intakes, sculpted side skirts, and a discreet active rear spoiler. The roofline flowed into a sharply cut rear with full‑width LED taillamps, framing a minimalist yet aggressive rear fascia.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“Polestar 1” simply indicates that it was the first production model from Polestar after its evolution from Volvo’s performance division into a standalone electrified performance brand. The numeric naming system was designed for simplicity and hierarchy, with the “1” representing exclusivity and positioning as a flagship coupe.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The Polestar 1 was offered in a restrained but premium color palette: Magnesium, Snow, Osmium, Midnight, Thunder, and matte “Space” black. These finishes emphasized the car’s carbon‑fiber body panels and clean Scandinavian surfacing. Gloss black exterior trim replaced traditional chrome, reinforcing its modern, minimalist identity.

Inside, the cabin reflected Polestar’s Scandinavian design ethos — minimalistic but richly executed. High‑quality Nappa leather or wool blend upholstery came in shades like Charcoal, Barley, or Slate. Structural carbon‑fiber trim elements were visible inside, reminding occupants of the coupe’s lightweight construction. The driver‑focused cockpit integrated a fully digital instrument cluster, vertical infotainment touchscreen, and a crystal gear selector crafted by Orrefors.

Wheel options included lightweight multi‑spoke forged alloys in 21 inches, available in polished silver or diamond‑cut two‑tone finishes, paired with high‑performance tires that balanced grip and ride comfort.

vs Competitors

The Polestar 1 occupied a niche all its own. Against the BMW 8 Series M850i, it offered more exotic drivetrain technology and significantly greater electric‑only range. Compared to the Lexus LC 500h, it delivered sharper performance and a more advanced plug‑in hybrid system. Against pure EVs like the Porsche Taycan, it traded all‑electric focus for long‑range flexibility and GT touring capability. It was a technological flagship rather than a mass‑volume performance coupe, designed to demonstrate that electrification and high‑end craftsmanship could coexist without compromise.

Fun Fact

Production of the Polestar 1 was strictly limited to 1,500 units worldwide, hand‑built at the Polestar Production Centre in Chengdu, China. It also held the record for the longest electric‑only range of any plug‑in hybrid in the world at the time of its debut, making it not only a statement of design but also a benchmark in electrified grand touring.
