Polestar 1 Reliability

The Polestar 1 is a plug-in hybrid sports car designed and built by Polestar, a performance company and brand of Volvo Cars. This is Polestar’s first product as an independent car manufacturer. A beautiful car that fits the bill as both a classic GT and powerful at the same time, this car is one of the most handsome cars on the road. This is a two-door grand tourer coupé that was launched in 2017.

Overview

The 2-door coupé is available in transverse all-wheel drive with the rear electric motor and 8-speed automatic transmission layout. It is an electric hybrid sports car with a powerful engine which is enough to compete against the likes of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. A 2.0L in-line four twin-charged petrol engine powers the Polestar 1.   From 0-60 mph, it sprints in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph.

Safety

It is highly unlikely that safety or crash testing will ever be conducted on the Polestar 1 due to its extremely high price and limited production run. However, there’s a short video of a crash test released by Polestar 1 to demonstrate the safety and strength and it looks pretty impressive.
