Welcome
Welcome to the world premiere of Polestar 3.
Polestar 3 is our first SUV.
And people love SUV´s
You get in and out easily.
You have great overview from inside
and you'll feel cool driving them.
Let's create the SUV for the electric age,
a luxury SUV.
First, we make it electric.
Put in a battery as a skateboard sandwich between the wheels.
And in order to create a nice big interior space
and to fit in sufficient dimension battery we stretch the wheelbase.
We get rid of one seating row and move the remaining
wide apart from each other.
Now we have the space to draw a new,
more aerodynamic, faster silhouette.
This is how we transition from the past to the future of the electric SUV.
Here tonight, for once, I would love NOT to speak about whether we have a pouch cell or a prismatic cell,
For once, I would love to speak as if we are beyond that already electric.
As if electrification is normal, a given.
To concentrate again on what really matters
when you create a new car, what it gives to you,
how and what you feel when you drive it, live with it, use it.
What a sensation it is to own it.
There are five human senses.
Let's start with SOUND.
What’s one good reason people love to spend time in their car?
It's the one time of the day
when it is okay to be on your own, in peace,
Where you can relax and just listen to music; YOUR music.
You can even sing along.
So let us talk about music – where we can enjoy it.
ith the expertise of Bowers & Wilkins we created the most amazing sound experience in Polestar 3.
A total of 28 speakers driven by a 28-channel amplifier with a total system power of 1750 Watts.
This is not just an amplifier, it is a digital sound processor,
and it enables multi-channel signals such as Dolby Atmos.
SMELL
Really, this chapter should be labelled “NO SMELL”.
So, we made an extra effort to make sure that the air you breathe in Polestar 3 is clean and healthy.
Together with Cabin Air and Volvo Cars,
we developed the Advanced Air Cleaner - the AAC.
The air you breath in Polestar 3 is - cleaned of 95% of fine particles,
97% of viruses, and 99.9% of pollen and allergens.
FEEL
We designed Polestar 3 for you to feel and to be safe.
To do so we have the best partner you could think of on our side:
VOLVO CARS.
In the unlikely event of an accident
there are up to 10 airbags mounted around the cabin to help reduce and avoid injuries
– to protect and save your life.
So, with one of the best accident avoidance systems in the world
and the backup of up to ten airbags,
you can feel, and you are safe, in Polestar 3
FEEL PERFORMANCE
Come on, it's a Polestar.
Of course, we took care that Polestar 3 feels and drives as a Polestar should:
With excellent handling and great control. Taking the ‘Sport’ in SUV seriously.
Our engineers have spent thousands of hours fine
tuning the character and the behavior of this car, and it's not about impressive
numbers of power torque of 0 to 100 that is hyped far too often.
We believe the excellence in tuning all components
with passion and mastery to achieve superb dynamics
is what makes a Polestar a true performance car
SIGHT
By far the most important sense is sight.
We perceive up to 80% of all impressions with our eyes.
And that is the very reason
why design is the central and most important pillar that Polestar is built on.
To introduce you to the pleasures Polestar 3 provides to your eyes,
I welcome Maximillian Missoni, head of Polestar Design on stage.
Polestar 3 is self-confident.
Strong graphics and contrast dominate the first impression.
The themes are unmistakable, complemented by the smallest details
that show our relentless focus and obsession with quality.
To retain the self-confident SUV character on one hand,
but on the other hand optimize aerodynamic performance,
we gave Polestar 3 wings.
This results in lower drag.
And lower drag gives us more real world range.
Now, the visual key to identification
and understanding of any creature is their eyes.
Thor's Hammer generated an incredibly powerful
and recognizable identity,
Polestar 3 takes the first step,
in this evolution.
The space around the dual blade is filled with the latest
and coolest in lighting technology.
Imagine 1.3 million mirrors.
Yes, 1.3 tiny little mirrors that can be individually controlled,
each of them smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
They all fit on one single chip
that casts a high definition light beam on the road.
This is Polestar’s 1.3-megapixel HD headlamp module.
In the prime real estate at the front.
We've replaced the grille with a ‘SmartZone’.
An area where we cluster forward facing cameras, radars, and acceleration sensors.
from the second quarter of next year.
Polestar 3 will also be available with LiDAR,
a state-of-the-art laser scanner from Luminar.
Space!
Space is the new luxury.
The new electric technology base shared with Volvo Cars
allows us to maximize interior space.
We move to second row rewards
to give us unprecedented legroom in this class of vehicle.
The emphasized the physical dimensions with a design theme
that encompasses the whole interior and creates a calm and luxurious space.
When we design Polestar 2,
we understood that for some things it’s better to team up with the best in their field.
And that decision turned out to be
absolutely right in many ways.
In Polestar 3, the homescreen consists of Google Maps and widgets
that can be configured for direct access to your favorite apps.
As designers, we can make virtually anything look good.
This is our superpower, but we shouldn't abuse it.
During the design process,
we also fell in love with another material: Natural fiber composite
developed by B comp.
This material is nearly as strong as carbon fiber,
but 40% lighter than plastic equivalents.
They provide strength but are entirely natural.
In Polestar 3, we're using flax and other natural fiber composites
in the seats and interior components
For far too long,
sustainability has been regarded as an added layer
to an otherwise predefined product.
But if you take it seriously - and we are taking it seriously -
Sustainability not only changes the impact our products have on the environment,
but inspires us to create entirely new esthetics.
For years we've been talking about this as our vision,
but today this vision becomes reality.
Back to Thomas.
Thanks, Max.
that leaves us with the last of the five senses: TASTE
The design of Polestar 3 is of exquisite taste,
and I really hope you agree with that one.
