Polestar 1 Review
Sweden's high-performance hybrid grand tourer is more than just a pretty face.
Prepare to be catapulted into the future with the Polestar 1, a high-performance hybrid GT that’ll change the way you think about electrified cars forever.
Polestar - the forward-thinking firm jointly-owned by Sweden’s Volvo Car Group and China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding - has been grabbing headlines since its inception in 2017.
Read moreThe Polestar 1 is a cutting-edge, carbon-fibre laden masterpiece combining world-class engineering with high-grade components.
The powertrain of the PHEV Polestar 1 sees a supercharged 2.0 litre petrol engine driving the front wheels while twin electric motors give power to the rear.
They combine to generate a hefty 609 hp and a torque of 1000 Nm - which means the Polestar 1 is capable of accelerating from 0-62mph in 4.2 seconds and then on to a top speed of 155 mph.
Crucially, the Polestar 1 - a stablemate of the all-electric Polestar 2 - can travel for 77 miles using electricity alone, meaning it attracts a Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax rate of just 4% for the year 2021-22. It’s also capable of returning an extremely-healthy 470 mpg.
Polestar promises ‘premium as standard’ with every Polestar 1, which means an interior filled with Nappa leather upholstery, a sophisticated Bowers & Wilkins audio system, as well as Pirelli P Zero tyres.
You also get, as standard, Öhlins suspension, a crystal gear level knob, sport pedals, a glass roof, a full graphical head-up display, and lashings of carbon fibre in the cabin.
All in all, the Polestar 1 is a worthy rival to the Porsche Taycan, Tesla Model S, or the Audi e-tron GT.

In simple terms, leasing is the single most cost-effective and hassle free method of driving a brand-new car, and with Select Car Leasing you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
I had a great first experience with leasing from Select car leasing and am so happy with my new car David talked me through the whole process and answered any questions I had..he explained everything in basic terms so I knew and understood everything We waited a few days for the credit checks to come back and I asked David if it usually took this long..he assured me it did so I think it was about 5 working days and he rang with the good news The paperwork side of things then took over and once that was all completed,it was just to wait for a date The whole process was done over the portal so you could keep up to date with any developments but if you had any questions, then David was reachable by phone We had a date for the car delivery and the driver turned up after giving me a ring, earlier in the morning to confirm a time..the car arrived and I checked it over as we had to sign to say say everything was OK with the car. All is great and am so happy with my new car I would highly recommend this company for your lease car
They were very customer focused and friendly as well as very price competitive.
Excellent customer service. Well impressed with the process. Certainly will recommend.
