Now a standalone brand, Sweden’s Polestar offers two different models. The first, which is aptly named Polestar 1, is a luxurious plug-in hybrid coupe. It combines a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-litre gasoline engine with three electric motors—one up front and two more in the rear. Total system output is rated at 619 horsepower, while pure electric range is estimated at 84 kilometres. The Polestar 1 is nearing the end of the line.
