Precept: 3D knit

Premium with a purpose. That’s how we view the 3D knit material covering the seats of the Precept. Not only does it have a distinctive look and feel befitting a premium vehicle, it’s made from a single strand of yarn. Variations of this material have been seen before, but only in the fashion world. We’ve brought it into automotive. And not just for the look.

It reduces waste in two ways: it’s made to size and therefore has no offcuts, and it repurposes discarded plastic bottles into something new. Plastic has near-infinite applications. We’ve found a new one, one that puts old plastic to new use. 

Premium with a purpose.

From Concept to Car: Keeping cool

A new car needs to stand up to the elements. Not just rain, snow, and wind, but harsh cold and blazing sunshine too. With drivers all over the world looking to Polestar for their next EV, each and every car with the star on its nose needs to perform flawlessly no matter what the elements throw at them. Performance can’t be left down to sheer luck. Testing — and more testing — is the only way to make sure a car performs the way Polestar wants it to every time.
