Electrifying acceleration
The combined maximum power from the gas engine, the electric motors and the Integrated Starter Generator is 600 hp/441 kW. Maximum torque is an impressive 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm). This gets you from 0-100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Pure, progressive performance.
High-performance engine
The combustion engine in the Polestar 1 is a high-performance gas in-line four-cylinder engine. At low engine speeds, a supercharger compresses and forces air into the cylinders. This minimises turbo lag until the engine reaches 3,500 rpm, when the turbocharger takes over.
124 km (77 miles) on a single charge
Polestar 1 has three lithium-ion batteries that provide 34 kWh and an approximate range of 124 km (77 miles) in pure electric mode*. That's the longest range of any hybrid.
Optimizing the drive
Steep inclines. Hairpin turns. Extreme off-road conditions. The Hällered Proving Ground test track has it all. Perfect for testing Polestar 1's grip and steering responsiveness and calibrating the software that controls the torque vectoring.
How to calculate a feeling
“In theory you could build a perfect car virtually by just feeding a machine numbers and calculations. But we're not making cars for virtual customers. We're making cars for real people.”
Joakim Rydholm, Chief Test Engineer
Torque talk
Many cars promise torque vectoring, but few genuinely deliver. No brakes. No mechanical limited slip differential. Polestar 1's twin electric motors on the rear axle adapt the power to each rear wheel. Get agile, reactive steering, and excellent grip and stability around corners.
