The power lumbar support for the front seats adds to your long-distance comfort. It can be adjusted horizontally as well as vertically to make it easy to optimise the support to your preferences.

Our powerful two-zone climate system adds to excellent air quality and comfort in all seasons and weathers. It automatically maintains the cabin temperature you choose and can be set independently for the driver and front passenger side. Floor air outlets and separate adjustable air vents in the roof pillars ensure a comfortable climate in the rear seat even during long drives. All cabin climate settings are easily controlled using intuitive touch screen controls. An efficient cabin filter helps keep the incoming air free from dust, pollen and other particles.

CleanZone lets you and your passengers enjoy clean, healthy cabin air. It monitors incoming air and shuts the cabin's air intakes if harmful substances are detected. A multifilter reduces the levels of dust, pollen, particles and chemical odours. And to prepare a fresh cabin environment on a warm day, the automatic CleanZone function efficiently ventilates the cabin when you unlock the car.

Parking climate is a collective name for different features that improve the cabin climate when the car is parked, eg preconditioning.

The heater is powered by the cars hybrid battery.

Heated front seat cushions, backrests and cushion extensions provide instant comfort during those cold mornings. Choose between three heating levels on the centre display with touch screen.

The electrically heated steering wheel is nice to grip when it's cold and it adds to your comfort and safety as you can drive without wearing gloves.

Sensus Navigation provides intuitive guidance and connects seamlessly with our cloud-based services and navigation apps. It's conveniently operated using voice control or touch-screen controls. Road directions are shown in the driver display, centre display and head-up display. You operate the system without taking your attention off the road – talk naturally to your Polestar, and our voice control carries out your commands. And with the optional head-up display, navigation directions will be shown hovering in front of the windscreen. The system can also be operated by a passenger using the centre display touch screen. You have access to in-car apps that can help you find and pay for parking, share your location with friends or simply find the best coffee in town. To help you avoid congestions, RTTI Real Time Traffic Information gives you a clear view of alternative routes. Free map updates ensure an updated navigation experience. Adding the Polestar Connect app, you can send destinations from your smartphone to your car. It also allows you to sync meeting destinations from your personal calendar with the navigation system for guidance.

The Driver display is digital and uses the latest technology. When the ignition is off, the display is high-gloss black. When the ignition is switched on, the Driver display comes alive. The resolution is extremely good and thanks to advanced technology, even the front seat passenger has a clear view of the display. The driver can choose between different visual appearances, all with great colour depth and colour variations (see next page). Light sensors control the brightness of the display according to exterior light sources, such as sunshine through any of the windows or, for example, the headlights of following vehicles at night. The display also adapts to dark exterior conditions, such as tunnels or night time. In addition, the driver can control the brightness manually. The 12.3-inch display shows two large round instruments and an information display in between. The information display can differ in size, depending on the use. For example, if the navigation system is used, it becomes bigger, and the two round instruments smaller.

A Head-up display is standard-fitted in the Polestar 1. This means that text and graphical information can be displayed on the lower part of the windscreen, in front of the driver. Our head-up technology made it possible for the driver to experience the information as hovering in the air about two metres in front of the car. The messages are semi-transparent and do not block the driver’s vision. The brightness is automatically adapted to the surrounding light. *The driver can adjust the brightness and image position, as well as make personal settings. The image position is included in the memory function for the power-operated seat.

For the Polestar 1 we have settled for nothing less than one of the best audio systems in the segment, if not the entire market. It has been developed together with renowned high-end audio manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins. Their name carries such great authority and respect in audio market that we have decided to cooperate with them to reach new levels when it comes to audio. For this top performing sound system, we also developed a new type of subwoofer, which has been integrated into the new vehicle architecture itself. The system features the unique 'Room Transformation' technology that has been developed together with the Swedish audio software specialists Dirac Research. This technology made it possible to recreate the acoustics of a specific room inside the car. There are three different 'Room Modes', which are a unique feature to Polestar 1. The modes are 'Studio', 'Individual Stage' and 'Gothenburg Concert Hall', which has an acoustic design recreating the unique acoustic experience of the Gothenburg (Sweden) Concert Hall.

Road Sign Information helps keep you updated on current traffic restrictions. Using a camera or information from the Sensus navigation system, it alerts you on speed limits, ＂no overtaking＂, ＂no entry＂ and various types of supplementary signs. The road sign is displayed on the speedometer or in the head-up display. If you exceed the speed limit, Road Sign Information can alert you with a flashing speed limit sign icon. It can also inform you about speed cameras. And if you drive in the wrong direction on a one-way street, you`ll be alerted with a no-entry sign icon. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

The headlights are cleaned by very efficient high-pressure jets. The nozzles are hidden under body-coloured covers on the bumper. When activated, the high pressure pushes the nozzles out, together with the covers. The headlight cleaning is automatically activated together with the windscreen/windshield cleaning.

There is a large, wide exhaust tail pipe on either side, nicely integrated into the lower rear end design. The tail pipes are in black chrome.

We developed our unique SIPS™ side impact protection system to help protect where you and your passengers are most exposed in the event of a side-collision. The steel framework of the car – including the front seat frames – is designed and reinforced to help displace the impact of a side-collision away from the occupants to other parts of the car body and help prevent intrusion into the cabin. The extremely strong side structure contains ultra-high strength steel and softer grades of steel to help withstand a severe side impact – even with a larger vehicle. The Inflatable Curtain for all the outboard occupants and the front seat side airbags interact with SIPS™ to help provide further protection. In the rear, SIPS™ and the Inflatable Curtain help protect the passengers in the outer rear seats.

Together with the safety belts, the frontal airbags help protect your head, face and chest in a frontal collision. They`re intelligent too: to optimise protection, the airbags adapt the level of inflation to the force of the impact. And if the impact is low enough that the airbags aren`t needed, the system will just deploy safety belt pre-tensioners if necessary. To make it possible to mount a child seat in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag can easily be disconnected using a cut-off switch.

WHIPS™ is a Volvo safety innovation that efficiently helps reduce the risk of whiplash injury if your car is hit from behind. At an impact, the entire front backrest and head restraint moves with the occupant to support the neck.

Further helping to protect the driver's lower legs in the event of a frontal collision, there's a knee airbag installed above the pedals. The knee airbag is deployed together with the other airbags and supplements the safety belt, the safety belt pre-tensioner, the brake pedal release and the integrated knee protection under the dashboard to help optimise protection.

Our Inflatable Curtain helps protect your head and neck in a side collision or roll-over. Helping to provide protection for occupants sitting on the sides, it deploys from the roof above the doors. The Inflatable Curtain also helps protect in some frontal collisions and stays inflated for several seconds to provide prolonged protection in the event of secondary impacts.

Using automatic steering assistance, this system helps you avoid collisions with oncoming vehicles. If you drift across the lane markings in the way of an oncoming vehicle, your car steers back. Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled, this is only a supportive function.

The boot/trunk lid is power-operated. Opening can be activated by a button on the remote control, a ‘soft button‘ on the boot/trunk lid, a button on the left side of the dashboard or by the ‘comfort opening’ function. The lid is closed manually, press down gently and the lid will automatically retract/close.

In the event of a puncture in the tyre's tread you can seal it temporarily with this emergency repair kit. It includes an electric air compressor and sealing fluid, conveniently stored under the load compartment floor. The compressor can also be used to check and adjust the tyre pressure.

Hill Start Assist allows you to start uphill or downhill without the car moving while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator. It keeps the brakes applied a short period after you've released the brake pedal.

Lane Keeping Aid adds convenience to motorway driving. If you get too close to if you or unintentionally cross a lane marking, it will gently steer your car back into the lane or alert with vibrations in the steering wheel. Constantly monitoring your position on the road, Lane Keeping Aid provides smooth support at speeds between 65 km/h and 200 km/h. When you intentionally cross a lane marking and use the indicator, the system will not intervene. Lane Keeping Aid is standard.

When driving, the driver can connect the standard-fitted Cruise Control and set a speed via buttons on the steering wheel. Then Cruise Control takes over the control of the accelerator and brake pedal to keep the set speed. The speed can be adjusted, via the buttons on the steering wheel. The driver can disconnect Cruise Control via a button or put it into standby by depressing the brake pedal. Cruise Control can be overridden by depressing the accelerator fully for a moment. If the car returns to the set speed within a minute, Cruise Control will resume its function. If not, the driver can depress a resume button on the steering wheel. The set speed is shown in the Driver display.

Our 360° camera shows you a high-resolution bird's-eye view of the area surrounding your Polestar – a great help when you reverse or manoeuver in confined areas with impaired visibility. The system uses four cameras: one at each door mirror, one at the front and one at the rear. By touching the camera images on the centre display, you can get a view from just that camera. The rear camera can also be switched to a zoomed-in view close to the car, particularly convenient when hitching a trailer.

Front and rear park assist helps you when reversing into tight spaces with restricted vision. As the car gets closer to an obstacle, you're alerted by a warning sound from the rear loudspeakers and a graphical view in the centre display. The frequency of the warning sound increases the closer you get to the obstacle.

Our drive mode control allows you to instantly adapt the powertrain and steering characteristics to your preferences and driving conditions. Pure, Hybrid (default), AWD & Power – switch between the modes with the elegant roller control in the centre console.

Included in the drive mode selector, the adjustable power steering allows you to adapt the speed-dependent power steering characteristics to your own personal preferences. While the steering assistance adjusts automatically depending on your car's speed, you can choose in the centre display between three levels of overall steering feel and sensitivity – for low, medium or high steering assistance through the entire speed range.

A sensor on the inside of the windscreen/windshield detects water on the windscreen/windshield and automatically turns the windscreen/ windshield wipers on and off. The sensor also controls the speed or the interval of the wipers according to the amount of water on the windscreen/windshield. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the driver.

The chassis of the Polestar 1 has been designed to deliver sharply tuned handling responses in combination with comfortable ride characteristics. A well-balanced car is a prerequisite for optimal handling and road holding. The Polestar 1 has the best possible balance, with a weight-distribution of 48% on the front wheels and 52% on the rear. The result is a car that is just as fun to drive on challenging winding roads as it is on a long stretch of motorway.

The front brakes, which are the most important and subject to the greatest loads particularly under hard braking, are specified by Polestar and manufactured by Akebono
