Polestar has released a second teaser image of the forthcoming Polestar 3 electric performance SUV, which is set to launch in 2022. Polestar 3 is the company's first SUV and will be its first vehicle to be built in the US, with production set to take place in Charleston, South Carolina.
Thomas Ingenlath, Polestar CEO said, "Polestar 3 is planned to be launched in 2022 as a premium electric performance SUV that will define the look of SUVs in the electric age. It will also be the first Polestar vehicle to be built in America."
The car based on the Polestar Percept Concept will also make its debut soon
Thomas Ingenlath hosted investors and press at a series of events in New York to discuss the company's vision, brand and growth plans. The audience learned that Polestar 3 is intended to be one of the most climate-responsible cars ever made and will in time offer autonomous highway piloting powered by the best-in-class LiDAR sensor from Luminar and centralized NVIDIA computing power.
Polestar expects global sales to reach 29,000 units by the end of 2021. With the launch of the Polestar 3 in global markets next year, the company will increase its presence to at least 30 global markets by the end of 2023.
Expanding presence in these new markets, the arrival of three new cars, and further advances in its existing markets, mean that Polestar plans to grow ten-fold from global sales of around 29,000 in 2021 to 290,000 by 2025.
