There are things we take for granted in our cars. Things like knowing the doors will shut properly every time, the seat will slide flawlessly when needed, or the armrest hinges not crumbling after being slammed following a rough day at the office. This stuff may seem small, but in reality it's hugely important. This is where the likes of Julian Cantwell come in.

Monterey Car Week is a yearly pilgrimage for automotive enthusiasts, a place where history meets innovation. The excitement, the thrill of being surrounded by some of the most exquisite automobiles in the world, and the palpable buzz around our very own Polestar 3 and Concept BST – it was all there.

What happens when you let loose 100 die-hard Polestar customers on a Swedish race track in a souped-up Polestar 2? (Oh, and why not throw in a day spent with a legendary racing driver for good measure.)

A significant milestone in our journey begins today: the start of production for our luxury SUV, Polestar 3, in Ridgeville, South Carolina.

Swedish gold, or "guld" in Swedish, isn’t a term you’ll find in everyday conversation, but its roots run deep. A colour that evokes images of warmth, wealth, and an unmistakable Scandinavian charm. In this article, we'll journey through the fascinating origins and evolution of Swedish gold, exploring how it has been woven into the fabric of Swedish life and Polestar.

The automotive showroom has undergone a revolution. The once generic architecture, with its focus on trade and unabashed masculinity, has transformed into something altogether more welcoming. The retail space is no longer designed for number crunching hard sells. Today’s car showrooms are spaces imagined entirely for the purpose of the more elusive yet priceless act of brand building.

The battle cry of people who don’t quite understand electric driving is often something to do with being unable to charge when and where you need to.
