Volvo has an in-house EV performance brand called Polestar, with the Polestar 2 from China being a very keenly priced premium sports sedan.
The handsome and sleek five-door hatchback is taking aim at Tesla’s Model 3, imitating it with either single (170kW, rear-mounted, rear-drive) or dual electric motors (300kW combined) with all-wheel drive.
