What to watch

Ownership notes before you buy

  • The low-slung fastback shape makes more sense for buyers who value style and road manners than for households chasing maximum rear-seat and cargo flexibility.
  • Its value case depends on actually wanting Polestar's more minimal, software-led ownership brief rather than simply chasing the cheapest long-range EV.
