The Polestar 1 EV Costs More Than A Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupe
The Polestar 1 electric coupe will be priced from £135,500 in the UK, but as we already know, it’s left-hand drive only. That’s a bit more expensive than predicted.
Prices have been announced at the Beijing Motor Show, including a starting point of €155,000 in mainland Europe. The price point puts it up against the likes of the £125,600 Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupé and the V12-powered BMW M760Li xDrive, which will set you back £138,335 plus options.
Polestar would rather lease it to customers, though, through an all-in monthly payment that covers insurance, road tax where charged, maintenance and so on. It’s not going to be cheap, but details haven’t been released yet.
The two-door Polestar 1 musters a combined 592bhp from a 338bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine coupled to the front wheels, an integrated starter motor/generator that adds 39bhp and two electric motors at the rear that bundle another 215bhp into the equation. It can sprint to 60mph in less than four seconds.

Worth it. Beautiful volvo interior and exterior.
Absolute nonsense. I love Volvo just as anyone here but 135.000 quid ??? Get out of here.
But being electric, it won’t have the Volvo reliability.
But all Volvos look the same inside and outside. Might aswell just buy an s90.
But seriously, what car is it rivalling?
Correction: looks better in and out than the Mercedes s63 amg
Give me now!
Meh
I’d have it over any of the similarly priced cars, its beautiful
I don’t like this car for what it is.
IMO needs a proper engine and proper AWD.
Why not RWD
I would rather have an S500 convertible.
TBH I rather have a S63 over this. A Tesla Model S is more of a steal compared to this.
Worth it IMO
Yep!
