Buy Used Polestar Models

Polestar is co-owned by Geely and Volvo Cars and builds only alternative-propulsion vehicles. Originally the performance arm under which Volvo went racing in numerous Touring Car racing series, Polestar became an in-house performance division before being spun off entirely into a standalone brand with a focus on performance EVs and hybrids. The current business plan seems to involve releasing a single model each year, be it sedan, coupe, SUV, or any other body style.

  • Premium interior spaces
  • Rarity factor of just one model per year
