Nearly 11 000 Polestar 2 have been sold in Europe in the first nine months of 2021
- The Chinese brand Polestar is one of the many brands of the Geely group along with Volvo, Lynk & Co, Emgrand, Engon, Gleagle or Geometry. It is one of the Chinese brands which clearly aims to invest in the European market, such as MG, Maxus, Aiways, Great Wall, Lynk & Co, Seres, Xpeng, etc...
- Unlike Lynk & Co (available in HEV and PHEV in Europe), the Polestar range only includes plug-in hybrid (PHEVs) and battery electric (BEVs) vehicles.
- Currently, Polestar’s European line up is made of a D-segment coupe simply named 1, which is a PHEV. Made in China, in Chengdu, the Polestar 1 is marketed in Europe at a price of 155,000 euros, which makes it an elitist model, quite rare in Chinese automobile production. This is the reason why only 54 units were sold in Europe during the first nine months of 2021. It should be added that this model is limited in production volume.
- The second model, named Polestar 2, is much more accessible, as it is priced from 40,000 to 46,000 euros depending on the country. It is a battery electric vehicle, D-segment sedan, competing with the Tesla Model 3 which is priced from 44,000 to 60,000 euros. 10,983 units of the Polestar 2 were sold in Europe in the first nine months of 2021, so more than 1,200 are sold per month on average. Sales are regular (1,324 units in September 2021) and it could reach 15,000 units in 2022.
- It is to be noted that the Polestar 2 is not yet marketed in France. Its main markets are Norway, Great Britain, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, markets with high purchasing power.
