Polestar 1 review - was this £140k hybrid ahead of its time?

• Polestar 3 electric SU...
It's hard to believe the Polestar 1 was ever given the green light for production. Just like the best-selling Polestar 2, the Polestar was originally a Volvo concept car.
But when Volvo and its parent firm Geely wanted to create a standalone performance division using the Polestar name, putting the Volvo Concept Coupe into production as Polestar's first ever car was seen to be the perfect way to get people to notice the new brand.
Unlike all the Polestar models to follow it, the 1 is a plug-in hybrid. It uses the same hybrid system as you'll find in a Volvo - in fact, as it was a Volvo concept car, it uses the Volvo S90 'SPA' platform, its interior and a lot of S90/V90 design cues.
It was only ever available in left-hand drive and came with a £140,000 price tag - unsurprisingly only a handful were sold here in the UK.
In this video I take a look at this truly special car.

@@Jur1986 Is that you Sam Bankman-Fried?
140k used to be the preserve of proper luxury marques like RR and Bentley. This is 100k too much, ludicrous prices have become normalised; nobody will pay 140k for something as mundane as this.
Who else noticed the gold seatbelts and gold pants?
Thanks! It was deliberate!
Thanks! 👍😃
Too expensive and just a Volvo.If had been top brand the price seemed perhaps reasonable.If the EV manufactures want to sell EVs a reasonable price should be set !
WTF a Dream Car and Mega Emotional....

@@batchreviews I’m a car trader and petrol head myself. It’s called industry diversification!!!!! That 4 tall red glasses so so under the weather with food bug dad pick up Xmas party story is as James B said. Probably the best story he knows. !!!!
Brilliant I would love to drive in absolute terror just to keep me alive 😂 😂
140K for a Chinese saloon. Nope.
You should stop using your phone so because the majority of that us Chinese too and like it or not the future is Chinese and if the legacy car makers do not wake up and make either cheaper or better products that they can sell then they will disappear in time sad as that is.
So? Wat is ur point?
@@georgedowns4034 nearly all phones and cars as well as electronics on the planet are made in China or have Chinese components in them.
