True, good first attempt, nice interior, exterior slightly nicer than a Model 3. As regards fit and finish, let's see when the first lot have been here for a year or so. On all other metrics the Model 3 has it.

@@gordonmcmillan883 Volvo builds cars with great fit and finish. That's not even a question.

I agree, pretty much anything is better than a model 3, so there is no distinction to be made.

michaelfink64 the reason they do that is just to put the word Tesla in the title because it’s searched more and the video will get more views.

I wish people could spell "Tesla" correctly.

@@nelsonclub7722 it's not there is big price difference

As another comment pointed out, though it makes it confusing and makes the Polestar sound worse than it really is, the Model 3 Long Range beats the Polestar 2 on acceleration, and the Model 3 Performance beats it on range. Both of which have a 3kwh smaller battery too, as said in the video though, the Polestar 2 beats most other EVs though by a long shot, it's a really good attempt!

@siliara Acceleration is about equal between the Model 3 LR and the Polestar performance I'd say, but the base Polestar will be beaten by the Model 3 LR. :)

Yes, that's how you do it when you want to make sure that Tesla comes out looking superior. Obviously this model should be compared to the Tesla 3 model that has the same price. But there are plenty of Tesla fanboys out there that start to cry and downvote if you say there are other cars that can compete.

Great point

As some notes on those: - Tesla's on-board autonamous driving hardware is a lot more advanced, though it's pending a re-write that will allow it to navigate itself around intersections hands free to follow navigation. (Planned for release later this year) - Currently implemented Tesla's vehicles can change lane automatically and take on/off ramps automatically too to follow navigation. I'm a bit sad that Polestar didn't implement any future proofing in the car in case they needed to do this in the future! - Some Model 3 Long Range's have been hitting around 4.1s 0 to 60 also, with the $2,000 'boost upgrade' you can order that's just enabled through software the car is capable of around 3.6s 0 to 60. With this optional upgrade, the Model 3 Long Range would still be cheaper than Polestar 2. Can't deny the Polestar's interior is nice though! It looks very refined, very Volvo! But man, can a manufacturer place cup holders in a good place for once!? It doesn't even need a gear stick, it's electric, just have a button then you could put the cup holders in the place were you hand rests like in a Model 3. I swear, I'm going insane seeing cup holders in places that make no sense in every new vehicle, EV or not.😅

Clearly you miss the point. If the Polestar is compared only to the Tesla 3 LR then Tesla won't win everything and then the Tesla fanboys will cry and cry. So obviously they get to pick the Tesla model that can beat the Polestar in each category.

Made in China. Hard pass. Won't sell well in the US due to import tariffs.

infotainment , something that no-one mentions is that android auto (and apple xxx later) works across both screens unlike plugin phone version, and apps can be written/added - whereas tesla controls entirely the apps in its system

Curtis English they got the price wrong in this video. The Tesla 3 LR is £46,990 with grant applied and not £43,990 quoted. They took the grant off the Tesla web price which already has the grant applied. Polestar have now also started to quote the price online with grant applied as it was confusing people...

He didn't compare it, but, he did say potholes are very loud. Another video I watched said it was quite loud inside (Car Pervert I believe), but that's likely due to the 20" wheels; The Model 3 Performance gets a lot of noise for the same reason too. (The Model Y had better seals at release and is much quieter inside, this hasn't been pushed back to the Model 3 yet though to note! You still likely want aftermarket door seals to improve window noise in the Model 3)

Jeff S there looks is what some people like. I like the simplicity of a Tesla. The main reason is that Tesla isn’t a full car manufacturer yet so they can’t spend time on the interior and quality. They need to pump these cars out fast. The lead designer has made some beautiful cars, they just don’t have the capital or the buying renown to take the time for interior design. Within a decade or so they will release a new line and I can bet the interior will look better since they are doing much better.

Looks are subjective. I think the model S is one of best looking cars out there. This Polestar looks like a typical square shaped Volvo to me.

That's the main reason I didn't get a Tesla it's just not very appealing inside and that's what you'll be seeing a majority of the time.

@@roodick85 I'd say if you've not had the opportunity, try one out in person first! The Model 3 has a really good forward view due to the very low dashboard with no instrument cluster on it. Seats and sound system are exceptional too, which is what you'll care about most of the time. :) It's one of those cases were in images it looks stupid, and I myself thought it was a dumb idea too but the Model 3 was all I could afford, then when I got it and used it for a while my mind changed. The slab of wood grew on me. 😅

@@VoxelLoop typical american design right there for ya, " just put a slab of wood, they will grow to like it" a few decades ago it was hard plastic and other shit, and why is that?, because the american public has very low expectations when it comes to car interiors, here in europe, where we had decades upon decades of plush interiors from the likes of mercedes , audi, BMW, volvo etc, for us the tesla interiors are atrocious to say the least.

Actually, it's exactly 1000kg now (from Sept '19 models and up).

not to mention is a hach. A hatch is always more superior than a sedan

And build quality most definitely. 😁

Lol I thought people nowadays care too much about acceleration instead of quality of car itself, but after reading your comment I am glad that costumers want a good car rather than a car that does 0-100 in 5 seconds or something

Walter Pfannschmidt Exactly. When in the real world will 0-60 acceleration be meaningful? Leaving the grocery store parking lot? Stuck in bumper to bumper "rush" hour traffic? Pulling out of your driveway? Picking up the kids from school? Range, comfort, handling, safety and reduced operating costs are what matter (to me anyway).

@@gwarlow 0-60 is much more common than top end speed of 150 mph. I use it all the time - not to 60 maybe but zero to posted speed limit. Love it - that Porsche behind me never knew I was even gone already.

Yes couldn’t agree more. I suspect the if it was cheaper I might consider it but on so many fronts Model3 is better but I do like its additional display. Supercharging network has no competitors. Real range is probably 75 % of claimed = 219 miles.

Bjorn Nyland will get that done for you, could either way. (Relative) lack of technology rules it out for me

Yes but model 3 is cheaper more efficient, faster, has longer miles, better software, supercharger network

It would be hard to make it worse...

I'll leave your "build quality" way behind at every red light and stop sign. Also at charging stations and over-the-air update capabilities. Our June 2019 Model 3, after a year, has had ZERO build quality defects and believe me I've been looking.

Yeah, well, I'm very happy with my Model 3 build quality. There's really nothing I would change or complain about. I'm wondering what you have in mind.

Dieter Zerressen Lol, you street racer! Yes it’s fast, yes it has a great charging network etc etc but it’s build quality is one of the worst in the industry.

And no panel gaps, misaligned windows, paint defects, and bumpers tearing off in the rain. And let's not forget the nightmarish Tesla service.

@goodfella21f It's made in China now. So ultra garbage.

Suspension needed to be adjusted in a service center? Whats the point of that???

Sadly it doesn't add any juice. This car is most comparable to the Model 3 Long Range, imo.

@@bluebikerathar You are thinking about it in the wrong way. The setup is supposedly really good, however if you find out you want it a little different you can have it altered or even do it your self. Not many cars where that is possible without swapping parts. Of course being able to do it using just a mode button would be nice, however that would add weight, cost and complications and most people would never touch that setting anyway. I think the Polestar choice is a good one.

@@bzdtemp These people prefer those adjustable suspension that break after 5 years and cost an arm and a leg to repair.

@@bluebikerathar No you can adjust them yourself, it's all in the handbook

Yes, but cars are a large investment for most people. Do you go shopping for one and pick the good enough one, knowing that there is one better than good enough? Polestar decided to go the shared platform route, and that one decision resulted in an EV inferior in many ways. It, and the form factor of the batteries they chose, is why the Polestar is a lot heavier than Model 3. That weight costs the Polestar in range, acceleration, handling...it has a heavy cost. The shared platform and battery form factor also gives you the limited rear head room, the hump in the floor for the middle rear seat passenger... The "advantage" of a shared platform is that it gives you flexibility of production to deal with the unknown rate of increase in EV demand. The downside is that a shared platform ensures that the demand that exists for EVs will mostly be for cars from other automakers and not Polestar. No one wants to spend $50,000 for good enough.

@@tribalypredisposed It's exactly what tesla buyers do. They just buy and don't even test drive. How do they ever know that their car is better? I drove a model s. Awful car for the price. There's car from many carmakers at that price that were much better. They're not electric but a car is still a car and there are better ones.

@@SDav21 You drove the wrong car. Knowing the cars you like you should have tried a M3P. While the ride is harsher than most 2/3 series BMWs it definitely handles track turns like an A4 or 340i would. It slides a little more in turns but comes out of the turns like a bat out of hell. The Model S is basically a Mercedes E class with a C class interior but AMG levels of acceleration with 3 Ipads on the center stack - for some that is attractive :P

@@Tokamak3.1415 The model s is still a tesla. It's not about the handling but the comfort and refinement which is lacking in the tesla compared to cars of the same price. The model 3 interior is worse with one large ipad sticking out.

SDav21 well of course it is inferior, they have only been marking cars for 8 years. You can’t expect them to be as finished and as high of quality as other companies that have been around for 60 or 70 years. That’s like getting annoyed a baby isn’t as smart as a college professor. It takes time to develop and get better.

It's direct comparable is the Model 3 AWD (non-performance) and the Polestar is about £2,900 more expensive (see 8:39); the fully decked out Polestar is likely in the same neighborhood as the M3P.

Strange, this preview seems to indicate the opposite ( aside being a better built interior)

lots of Saab people design it..

Both Polestar and Saab are Swedish

The residuals look fantastic at the moment. Have you seen the lease pricing compared to the M3?

It's a liftback.

Mark Browell i3 seems to be the cheapest premium electric car right now, what’s the pricing for this?

@@DashCamSerbia a liftback is a subset of hatchback... and not really an official category. (I don't think this is substantially longer than it is deep either... so it's not a liftback)

Model Y kind of does the hatchback part better than this car as well 🤔 maybe it's just the stupid parcel shelf that makes it look smaller.

Really? The interior in this is very conventional and uninteresting. The exterior is just bad. It resembles a Dodge Avenger.

@@doubleclutchonline5811 But judging by your comments you seem like a Tesla fanboy who unironically thinks that they look better then a Taycan, get real son

The ‘AI smarts’ in my model 3 are really just radar cruise control and lane keeping. Full self driving was over 10% extra, and mostly not allowed in my country anyway. Great motors and battery though, and superchargers are great. If Polestar can make a car that has good paint and doors that fit then I’d be tempted. Sick of looking at the average build quality on my cars body.

Looking down is less movement for the eye and thus is faster.

​@@Xanthopteryx that's stupid... obviously whatever keeps more of the road in your peripheral vision is safer.

The mark 1 Toyota Yaris had an absolutely central speedometer twenty years ago, but nobody ever talked about it... It's almost like the motoring press are looking for reasons to mark down EVs.

Never buy a Tesla, best charging network but poor design, poor build, poor ergonomics, if Tesla just built a car that was happy to be a car, they would be unbeatable

@@TheAegisClaw the Yaris Speedo was in the middle but high in the dash so you didn't have to look down like the model 3

Like many objective people have realised. This is just another OK competitor that isn't that special and in fact does quite a lot of things worse than a 3/Y. Competition is good for the long term goal

Well thanks for the suggestion, but I think this is a decent first bash at a competitor. 8-) What I want is a better built / finished Tesla. At least my Cybertruck won't have paint problems when it gets here ( about 2025 probably )

@@gordonmcmillan883 It's a good first effort. But it ain't a real threat to the model 3. Should sell decently well still though.

@@stinger15au My thoughts pretty much exactly. I know a few Volvo owners that would be delighted to have one of these.

And space.

I just can't see how anyone can match Tesla on a overall car. No matter which angle, from speed to range to space to autonomy to infrastructure to price. Nothing is going to be able to compete overall. There will still be people who won't buy a tesla on principle or brand loyalty but it's going to be a long time until there is a genuine reason why people shouldn't

@@stinger15au Exactly that. Plus the elon army kids that are just growing up and wanting a Tesla. This will be the iPhone of the 20s.

@@marcusbiller867 I am not agree. Tesla has much worse finishing than this polestar but apart from that, Tesla is better in any point we look at. The only thing that polestar can do better is the car servicing and the client management. Said that, this car is the only that can hold more or less the comparison with Tesla. Welcome that.

Honestly the Model 3, and honestly Tesla in general, just has a very sterile/appliance-like feel to it. It looks decent from the front but all soft and uninteresting from the side and back. It is done that way for Aero probably but still, why so bland. I don't really like over styled cars like the Civic and also like minimalist stuff like the A-class, but the Model 3 just looks so uninteresting, bland, soulless. It drives pretty well though. The interior is another thing that keeps me away from leasing a Model 3. It is a bit like a plank from a DIY shop + a steering wheel because they needed to have one and a 15 inch laptop screen stuck on a stick. It works well but to me it looks awful and again, just bland. It reminds me of an Apple store where they have an iMac on a standard on top of an empty desk, and not in a good way. Compared to the Polestar 2 Tesla feels like an amorphous blob gliding down the road with nothing interesting about it, other than the software and the performance. To me the Polestar actually looks like a car, am in love with how it looks inside and out. The range and charging network is a big miss but honestly, Tesla fans, where are your "you just charge from home" arguments when comparing a Tesla with another car? You use it all the time against ICE cars but now it doesn't matter all of a sudden. What I am trying to say is: for most daily commutes the Supercharger network doesn't matter. The range is fine, still above average and will do the job for now. If I Absolutely had to get me an EV, it would be, without a doubt the Polestar 2.

Its not that much more and it does have alot more style in look imo

Theta Amen.

@@remco6816 the style is much more polarizing. many people hate the looks of tesla's, many more people will hate the looks of this car 🤣

I don't think people who think model3 is better than modelY, are going to be drawn to consider polestar2. Much more likely the opposite, this is obviously a higher sitting hatchback like the modelY...

It isn't more expensive. This review contains loads of factual inaccuracies. This car is slightly cheaper than the Model 3 Long Range

Would be nice to hear if that addresses the handling concerns and general speed vs tesla. I'm leaning towards the polester purely for looks and interior quality

I agree with better insidematerials but, people buy teslas for the tech and the charging infrastructure

You'd be mad to do that. Slower, heavier, worse handling, shorter range and most importantly no supercharger... Do you like the interior that much? If you need a hatchback Model Y is coming...

I don't think you can go RWD and not affecting the towing rate...

@@TheAegisClaw I really like the outside looks of model 3, the range and speed but not so much the interior and small boot opening. I really dont like the chubby looks of model Y though its practical.

People should stop buying Polestar and go for Model 3, unless they are a loser.

@@cofal79, it is built on a shared platform designed to be used by both EV and ICE cars. That is why the hump. But the hump is just the start of the effects which also includes the excessive weight and subsequent poor handling, acceleration, efficiency, and lower range than it should have.

With a Model 3 LR it is easy to get more than 300 miles on a full charge, especially with good weather - and I drive 80 ~90 miles per hour. I have done it several times. By the way, the Polestar 2 looks good but I wouldn't exchange it for the exterior and interior of the Model 3. But I can imagine quite some people prefer the finish of the Polestar 2.

I'd actually argue the opposite: as a Model 3 owner (and Volvo enthusiast), I prefer the Model 3 screen and zero other clutter. I find the much lower & flatter dash is much better for road visibility, especially at night.

but the front screen is not that much lower from the dash though, so you're not really looking away too much from the street, but if you want to look at the center console you actually have to move your head a bit not just your eyes, in my personal experience anyway, this is one of the reasons why i prefer model S than model 3

17% less range than a model 3 LR as well. That's a significant difference.

@@shroomyesc Which countries? Tesla has almost all the important routes covered with numbers of stalls and places. The other companies need to fill the gap where Tesla is strong first, and then look around.

That's like saying, "I prefer my living room recliner over a sports car". It's fine but it certainly isn't a Model 3 "Beater".

Dieter Zerressen I mean you say that, but Jaguar’s I-pace offering uses the same quality materials you just spoke about, but in a package that is really compelling, it’s got pretty good range and acceleration, it handles well, but it’s easy to drive. So, the British designed and engineered I-pace doesn’t just cover itself with quality materials, it also delivers in performance.

@@aidan7936 The I-pace was a disaster pretty much everywhere, and you can get already get huge discounts on it. The range and performance were laughable in real world use.

@@Ithrazel People keep saying that like a few panel gaps really makes up for the 50 other things Tesla does better. It might for some, but not most. I have sat and driven in a model 3, its not amazing, its not bad, its just fine. The only real disappointment I had was the scroll wheel buttons felt cheap compared to my Audi. Other than that, the seats were nice, the interior was different and certainly spartan, but that doesn't make it worse. This whole build quality thing is SUPER overblown. Like all things, there is a element of truth in there, but it's really not that bad in the grand scheme of things. If it was as bad as people say, people wouldn't buy them, it's really that simple. Have to remember, it's still in Auto terms a BRAND NEW company, they are competing with companies who have a century of experience, Tesla are already superior in many ways and they will figure out the relatively small problem of some panel gaps. You can see every new model that comes out is significantly better than the last one, from S to 3 to Y, the Y having some QA issues on some cars but is almost perfect on most. As for the software, Tesla is miles ahead and are the benchmark. The google powered system might end up being ok, but it's really just a copy (in fact all these EV's coming out are) of Tesla. That remains to be seen if it's better. Tesla now has a decade long track record of updates and improvements OTA, from power to security to efficiency.

2 reasons: Packaging and battery safety. Floor batteries took away more cabin space than ideal eg foot rest space (for 4 passenger config) so Volvo and polestar doesn't want the skateboard design, their central transmission tunnel battery does better in crash tests according to them even though the 5th middle passenger comfort is compromised.

Check out Northern Sweden... or Finland, or Canada,...

@@Xanthopteryx Yeah, please check them. Because a heavy, low range, high consumption car will suffer even more where there are less HPC than a Model 3. I have travelled 450km on a signle charge at highway speeds of 70mph with a Model 3. Impossible with this one (first tests show around 270km)

I think if you take the price out of the equasion, the E-tron might be a slightly better fit thatn this one. It charges way faster and has similiar ridiculously high consumption (the Polestar is very slightly better). Has better build quality etc. I think all of these cars are pretty even with all of them having huge downsides here and there. Even if they were the same price, it would've been hard to choose from one. And especially once you hit the road, you will kick yourself in the head for not getting a Tesla everytime a charger doesn't work. And this will not change for at least 5 years, it will actually go worse with more cars coming along.

A lot of these videos always ignore that people buy on how a car makes them *feel* rather than just a spec list top trumps.

@@DarkLordButterfly You are partly right. But the design will not help you much when you get only 250km next time around from the advertised 500 or when that charger is striking when you could've had that wonderful Supercharger experience. If you drive oonly from home to work and never charge anywhere, by all means, get whichever car you want. But once you start driving around on highways you would always kick yourself for not getting a tesla. Especially if it is a lower price. And that will not change for at least 5 years until these guys catch up. A swedish manufacturer with chinese drive train and battery will not help you in any ways.

@@DarkLordButterfly exactly right. EV's are a different entity all together. Without chargers ie: (the ability to go wherever you want) then the car is essentially useless for the average Joe.

I’ve always thought ipace was way too expensive and was a dip into a market they didn’t really want to go into. I test drive one £80k! with no advantages over polestar.

The iPace is basically a generation one attempt. Jaguar may do better if they survive long enough get to generation two.

The I-Pace is far more capable off road, so if you have the money, want an EV capable on rough terrain and not just pavement, and don't want to wait for a Cybertruck, it would be your choice.

Jag I pace is made in Austria, top quality luxury auto from a proven manufacturer. This Chinese Polestar is from a new company, made in china with botnets running to steal your data. The I-Pace is a no brainer for anyone with the money to spend on such a vehicle.

Seriously, I'd give it at least another year till this thing, and the VW, have been out in the wild for a while. Never buy version one of anything.

Realy just needs a small HUD, then it would be Perfect.

The only car that will kill the model 3 will be an improved model 3 or his sibling model Y ( bigger and easier trunkacces).

( Sssshhh - that's because it doesn't have any, or not much, or they would surely have mentioned it )

Has some standard driver assist and safety features like adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, as well as “Pilot Assist”, which keeps the car centered in the lane.

@@cypvh74 Thanks for that, I didn't notice that in the video but that may just be me.

Because the batteries are stored in a T section from the front dashboard to below the rear bench , instead to a thinner but larger arra "skateboard" platform, this was supposedly chosen to give more space for the legs but it doesn't seems to be very successful.

Thank you

😂 that's funny

Because it is a Volvo platform and uses Volvo parts. It is actually Volvo's Concept 40.2 But Volvo didn't use the body and it went to Polestar. Geely makes a different line of cars.
