Polestar finally arrives in France: rivalry with Citroën, discover the models and prices!

Here are the electric car enthusiasts, already in a stir with the recent announcements from Polestar, having to rub their eyes. Finally, the Swedish brand with Volvo-but-Chinese roots makes its triumphant entry onto French soil, after a wait longer than a tram ride in Paris. But, while Citroën sits on its little pedestal with well-placed chevrons, Polestar languishes in legal purgatory. A lawsuit over its logo, which would be more suited for a suspense series than for an automotive battle. But here we are, the time for automotive rivalry has come, and electric car enthusiasts will be able to rush toward a brand new catalog.

Polestar 2: The Sedan That Dares to Challenge Tesla

The Polestar 2 is the first model that will tease the well-rounded sides of the famous Tesla Model 3. With its redesigned body and on-board technology capable of making even the most arrogant high-tech gadgets blush, this electric car is not here just to play a supporting role. Offering up to 476 hp and a range topping nearly 659 km, it promises to turn everyday journeys into a true driving experience — provided you avoid the pitfalls of sometimes capricious charging stations.

The Polestar 3 SUV: Muscles and Elegance

Then, there’s the Polestar 3, this SUV that takes the rivalry with Citroën to an almost comical level. Forget the velvety softness of the Chevrons; here is a behemoth of 4.90 m built to engage, whose athletic appearance could well unnerve the proudest of drivers. With its 517 hp and pneumatic suspensions, it aims to rewrite the rules of driving comfort. But don’t be surprised if the backseat makes you regret leaving your cushion on the couch, as interior space is not its strong point.

Polestar 4: A Look Towards the Future of Scandinavian Design

The Polestar 4 takes a bold step into the market, adopting a shape that defies conventions, evolving between audacity and eccentricity. This model, with its stripped-back design and futuristic atmosphere, is armed with a breathtaking hatch. And even if this is not the model you would show your grandmother if there’s a car beauty contest, you have to admit it manages to capture attention...

The Prices: A Prudent Punch for the Wallet

The fateful question of car prices joins the party. Although the final figures for France have not yet made it to the table, a small detour through Belgium gives us a glimpse of a range starting at around €44,900 for the Polestar 2, and peaking at nearly €74,800 for the Polestar 3. Amounts that could raise the eyebrows of French motorists, as sustainable mobility still seems accessible only to the privileged few.

An Overview of Other Models and Future Challenges

But Polestar is not here to daydream. A roadster, the Polestar 6, is already in the works, eager to expand the lineup and take on even more electric rivals. Fighting against the headwinds of legislation, economics, and possibly the weather, the brand aims to carve out a place among the giants of the industry. Who would have thought that a Chinese manufacturer, carrying a Scandinavian legacy, would offer us so much boldness on our roads?
