Yahoo Autos The Stunning Polestar 1 Coupe Will Cost $155,000
Last year, Volvo made Polestar its own brand for hybrid and electric performance cars, then it dropped the stunning Polestar 1 Concept. We had some indication this 600-hp carbon-bodied hybrid coupe would be expensive, but now we know for sure. Polestar confirmed today at the Beijing Motor Show that the Polestar 1 will start at $155,000 when it reaches the US next year.
That means Polestar will be playing with some heavy hitters, though we're not sure if this car will have any direct competitors. The only other hybrids in that general price range are the BMW i8 and the Acura NSX, both of which are quite different than the Polestar.
Polestar is taking an interesting sales approach for its new cars too. Like Tesla, it'll bypass traditional dealers in favor of its own Polestar Spaces, and it's also planning on offering a subscription service like Care by Volvo.
If you're disappointed to learn the Polestar 1 costs so much, don't worry. This coupe is intended as a halo to establish the Polestar brand, helping pave the way for more affordable future offerings. Its next two cars, the Polestar 2 and 3 will be all-electric and likely cheaper.
And if you think $155,000 isn't too dear, you can order a Polestar 1 right now with a fully refundable $3100 down payment. Information on Polestar's subscription program will arrive in the near future.
