polestar precept 2023

Polestar's eye-catching concept car production expects the all-wheel electric luxury sedan to launch for the 2023 model year. This futuristic four-door will challenge the Tesla Model S, Lucid Air, and Porsche Taycan sedans, as well as the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQS. Polestar will offer dual electric motors; a large battery pack with a competitive driving range is 400 miles and eco-friendly interior materials.  

The company has said that it plans to build an entire manufacturing facility in China devoted to making the Precept and intends the new plant to be carbon neutral. Polestar hasn't given any details on timing, but we expect it to come out as a 2023 model. There's been no mention of price yet, but luxury interior and powertrain don't come cheap. Combine the two, and you're looking at a starting price at or near the six-figure mark. We'll update this story with those details when we learn more about the Precept's price, features, and options.

Like the smaller Polestar 2 sedan, we expect the Precept to offer standard all-wheel drive by utilizing two electric motors, one mounted in the front and one in the rear, the Polestar 2's setup generates a combined 402-hp and driving range up to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds at our test track. Polestar offers excellent features in the concept car, 15.0-inch infotainment touchscreen is mounted vertically in the center of the dashboard and runs the latest version of Polestar's Android-derived software interface, a secondary 12.5-inch screen serves as a reconfigurable gauge display, and two smaller monitors on the door panel's project views instead of traditional exterior mirrors. It is unknown how much of this will make it to production, but the exterior camera system seems unlikely. Polestar will likely offer the latest charging methods, including Level 2 home charging and DC fast charging for public stations.
