Clarifications with Klarén: redefining premium materials

We’re committed to driving the change towards a climate-neutral future, a new era of sustainable electric mobility. But such change will not occur if we rely on the same old paradigms, the same old tune. Or materials.

Change, however, doesn't have to mean compromise, a choice of a great in car experience or the environment. We believe that sustainable materials can create new design opportunities and redefine the meaning of premium.

The outcome: Polestar 2. The car features vegan upholstery as standard, its interior features recycled plastics and panels made from reconstructed wood. And for future production models, we’ve already identified a range of new, innovative solutions. Because, as we said, the same old tune won’t work.  Sustainability needs a new soundtrack.

Polestar Head of Sustainability Fredrika Klarén clarifies it all above.

Scandi design meets Sydney Harbour: Polestar’s place at Concours d’Elegance

Concours d’Elegance. From French, the term loosely translates to "competition of elegance," a fitting name for one of Australia’s most prestigious motoring events, celebrating the pinnacle of automotive excellence. Amongst the classic cars on display, a noticeable change is evident. Two cutting-edge electric cars, Polestar 3 and 4, stand in contrast to the vehicles that traditionally populate the event. For Sydney-based industrial designer David Caon, they stand out because they represent the new era of luxury emerging in the automotive space – one that is shifting toward intelligent, sustainable and unique design.
