The Polestar is a little lighter than the Volvo at just under 2.6 tons. The Volvo looks like it would shudder if you pointed it towards a Nike store, while the Polestar looks like it would be more dynamic. There are some differences. There are many similarities between the interiors and the exteriors.

The Polestar won't get the rearmost bank of seats because it's a five-seater. The two are very similar. The main thing that will make these two cars different is how they look inside and out.

The challenge of moving from internal combustion engines to electric cars is that brands have to reconfigure themselves. He says that much of the history of cars was based on dependability.
