no rear window such a crap design
Volvo = Ghina
@@billybobbob3003it is actually good design
Roman is a terrible tfl Ambassador and really needs to retire. Someone in the company needs to grow a pair and let the old man know that he's terrible. Between mentioning Tesla every 2 seconds, then accusing this company of copying them and finally coming out with that whole "you Europeans" comment.
Watching this video was like watching a bad movie showcasing at obnoxious American Tourist character. Aren't you guys embarrassed by this?
Tommy, it's time to take over the reigns, your dad has reached the point where old people get where they think they can say anything that comes to mind with no filter.
While that is funny now and then, it isn't when on TFL channels.
@@genesishep I enjoyed his review. I'm European
Nice that their ambient lighting is aligned within the entire cabin front to back.
Drove a Polestar 2 long distance, was impressed by the great build quality and design. Polestars are one of the best driving experiences and they are beautiful cars, too bad they are on the expensive side.
Just ordered my polestar 3. Can't wait. I drive my polestar 2 for three years and overall very satisfied, especially how it looks l, the materials used , the overall quality and the safety. Most importantly, the drive experience, so good, polestar team is a professional car racing team, the adjustment to the drive is great. Most of people didn't know polestar, didn't try it out, so they thought didn't worth, however, once you drive it for sometime, you will love it. By the way, don't say polestar is from geely, geely just the largest share holder, geely is also largest share holder for Mercedes. Indian now owns Land Rover. However, no matter who owns the brand, the operation team still the original team. Don't judge the owner of the company, you should talk from the driving experience and functions you got.
I have a 2021 Launch Edition PS2 and I love it also. It is actually the best driving car I've driven and I've had MB and BMWs in the past. I love the power, the cockpit makes you feel like you're driving a sports car. When my two year maintenance was due, Polestar Princeton sent a truck to pick up my car and drop off the loaner. The next day the truck bought my car back, parked it in my driveway and took the loaner. I didn't have to lift a finger. How's that for customer service? People sleep on Polestar cause they have this notion that it's a Chinese brand. The Swedes know how to design a great car! I love it so much I have an order in for a 2025 PS4. I know that'll be a blast to drive. BTW, do you get a lot of looks in your PS2? People constantly are looking at me as I drive by. It's nice to know that even though the car was first released in 2020, it still looks as modern as any other EV on the road. I test drove a BMW i4, Audi Q8 etron and Mercedes EQE and in my opinion, I think the Polestar was easier to use, more nimble, faster and more comfortable. Hopefully they'll survive these tariffs cause I think this is the brand for me. BTW, good luck with your PS3. I hope you enjoy it as much as your PS2!!
@@nickscott447 Yes. You are absolutely right. It turns so many heads and also service are great. I live in New York, more than 10 times when I stopped my car, some one stopped by and asked me about my polestar 2 and asked me how to buy one. When I drive my polestar on the way, so many drivers pass me and lower their window and give me a thumbs up. I totally agree with you that even though the car was already out for about four years, it is still one of the best looking EVs on the road. I think you may experience system lag on the information screen of PS2 and storage shortage some time, because four years ago polestar first launched their first EV, they were using gas car platform SPA and used relatively outdated chips. However, it will not be an issue anymore moving forward, polestar 3 and 4 designed with brand new pure EV platform and using Qualcomm 8155 chips, it is one of the best chips for now. I think you may have tried the 3 or 4 information system in the polestar space, very smooth. I love 4 as well, but my polestar 2 lease will end soon and the earliest polestar 4 only comes to New York in Feb 2025, I will choose 3 this time. There are a lot of great functions on polestar 4, I hope you enjoy it. The terrifies will not hurt polestar too much since they will produce polestar 3 in the US soon and will produce polestar 4 for the US market from their South Korean factory to avoid terrifies. I wish you the best for your new polestar.
Disagree as our leased Polestar 2 has been a nightmare and junk but Im with you 100% on the Polestar 3 as we have on order too. Its a stunning EV and we cant wait.
@@nickscott447 The notion that Polestar is Chinese, that some love to state in the comment sections, is ignorance of the brand. This is as much a Swedish brand as they come. They are fiercely a Swedish company and are very much an offshoot of Volvo. Geely happens to be the parent company but that doesn't mean they are involved in the creation, tuning and other aspects of the Polestar car products. Of course Volvo and Polestar both will take advantage of shared components but there is a lot about both brands that make them uniquely Swedish. And despite where they are built, the build quality, not reliability but build quality in terms of solidity and finish, is superb.
@Dark_Vader888 Just curious as I have a 2024 PS2 being delivered in a few weeks, what was your experience with your PS2?
I know two Polestar owners that were Tesla owners in the past - They say there is really no comparison... the Tesla is just OK as basic transportation, but lack any sort of cache, or occupant involvement. BUT... the Polestars were given total love from the owners... Polestars are getting much more popular here in Vancouver, British Columbia, to the point that people are waiting for their new cars.
I bought the ID4 SUV since it was cheaper and polestar didnt have SUV at that time. So far, love EV
According to PoleStar Production of Polestar 3 has started in Chengdu, China. Additional production is slated to start in South Carolina, USA, in the middle of 2024. The first early production test series in the American factory has been completed successfully.Feb 27, 2024
Volvo is owned by China
Chinese made? Dont like the fact its not made in sweden
Both are beautiful vehicles! Now lower the price for both about $20k and you’ll have a couple of winners.
Why? P3 is on par with Q8 etron. Which is even more expensive if you spec it to the same. It’s really a good deal to be honest. Don’t understand the price discussion on these models.
We currently own a Polestar 2 Performance. Its had its share of TCAM, ball joints, iphone app, door panel issues. I love the Polestar 4 but I'll wait for the 2nd year. We learned our lesson with our Polestar 2. The worse part is my local Volvo dealer who used to handle our warranty claims has dropped servicing it so we now need to drive 80 miles away to Pokestar servicing and they are backlogged by months. Next car will be either a Hyundai or Tesla.
If you're looking at an EV I would take a look at the offerings from Kia as well.
I would look into VW ID4
love the car but why cant anyone make an electric car without all the strange lighting and gimmicks in the infotainment screen.
Because they need to sell them in places where buyers go for that sort of stuff.
One of the reasons I love my Lightning is that besides the screen being bigger, it's just a regular F150, but electric and slightly more refined. It's exactly the kind of design approach I find sorely missing in most EVs. Sometimes reinventing the car or truck doesn't make it better.
@@ctuan13 I understand you sentiments. I wonder if the Ford skunk works will have a new truck designed to be manufactured below the MSRP that will meet you expectations.
Hey Roman! Love the looks of both although price points might be out of range for most in US market especially without Fed incentives available… as for the back non window, I own a Bolt EUV Redline and I honestly use the rear view camera exclusively and never think about it…
Both are absolutely gorgeous, but I’m still waiting on a 2 on a dedicated EV platform.
One reason for the wing mirror design is to stop spiders from hiding in them.
Awesome video! Very thorough and informative. 🤩👌
I have personally ridden in one of the pole star cars and hands down i like them more than teslas
The 4 seems more hot hatch rather than SUV.
Although Volvo is still working with Polestar, Volvo divested their stake and won’t be funding Polestar. Too much of risk.
We really like our Polestar 2, wish these guys all the luck in the world!
So sick of this trend of calling cost-cutting "minimalism" and pretending it's premium, when it's the exact opposite
Thanks Roman
no driving test, too bad. any off road features coming from Polestar?
Nice design for polestar 4, Range extended version would have been nice
Too expensive, can’t get service at a Volvo dealer. Nearest P* to me is 175+ miles away. Too bad, they’re good looking, well made cars.
Service is at Volvo centers from what I’ve read
I’d rather have a car with a traditional back window.
Can Roman go 1 episode without saying Tesla? 5 years ago Tesla was a forward looking company. Now however, Tesla is still milking the same stagnant design language they've over utilized for a decade. Buying a Tesla then was supporting engineering and innovation. After Musk's recent controversies, buying a new Tesla projects a very different image about the driver. Tesla may have been the gold standard in EVs 5 years ago but those days are done! Now Teslas are as tacky as driving an Escalade. I bet the person showing you the controls on the car was genuinely offended you compared a Polestar to a Tesla.
No, Roman is incapable of not mentioning Tesla OR restraining himself from showing any other type of bias he might have. He is the absolute worst Ambassador that TFL has and honestly he's an embarrassment at this point. Just because you own something does not mean that you should be front and center or that you are good at hosting. My guess is nobody at TFL has the balls to tell him he's no good. If he's incapable of making certain changes or is at least able to show some manners then he needs to take a lesser role in the company.
Just in this instance he's been flown out by a company, likely pampered and fed. While that should not guarantee that company gets a great review, it should at least guarantee that he doesn't bring up another brand every 2 minutes and then basically say "oh so you're copying them." And that wasn't the end...
Worse is the whole "Obnoxious American Tourist" act he seems to enjoy putting on. I mean, WTH was that "you Europeans" comment? I hope they charged him for the flight and accommodations afterwards. As as well traveled as he is at this stage he should know how to present himself.
TOMMY, make the old man retire already.
Interesting seems Polestar USA had a totally different embargo date set to the rest of the world as so far it seems only US reviews have come out, I follow European and other reviewers on TH-cam and so far none of them have launched their videos. So either Polestar US told Polestar Global to get stuffed on the date or it was always going to be different. Do you think the Polestar 4 will get sold in the US though being as it's almost a sedan styling in some ways and could have very low sales due to everyone(what seems like it but isn't reality of course) wanting their monster SUV for getting their quart of milk in? I can see the P4 selling everywhere but the US but not sure they'll sell it or for how long in the US especially if sales are poor due to it not being that monster SUV.
As for the fact there’s no rear window who cares. I have a pick up truck and never look out the back. I always use my back up camera. And mine is garbage compared to the camera on the polestar 4
My thoughts as well. I don't understand the obsession with no rear glass. It makes perfect sense to me if it allows for more rear headroom. Who actually spins their head around and looks through the glass? 🤷🏼♂️
Looks are inside and outside 10 times nicer than Tesla!
Teslas are ugly both model Y and 3 😂. My ID4 looks way better than a Tesla model Y
🔥🔥🔥
You can change your car to the color of Uranus! 🤔
Good video hopefully those made in China car will be worth 70k
💯 percemt tariffs?
Nope. The Polestar 3 will be built in the US, and the Polestar 4 will have a factory in Korea.
Volvo has sold most of its share of the Polestar brand to Geely 🇨🇳 Polestar is now sharing EV platforms with Zeekr, another Geely brand that's supported by the CCP....😢
No they are not. Polestar uses one platform, the SEA, that is the Geely Group platform. The Polestar 3 uses a Volvo platform. The Polestar 2 uses a Volvo platform. And the Polestar 5 and 6 will use their own Polestar platforms. Volvo selling shares is a pure business move as Volvo and Polestar work hand in hand on developing their cars. The materials you see in the Polestar 3 and 4 are the same as Volvo's materials because Volvo supplies them. Then there is a mix of some Geely and Volvo parts in the 4 and mostly Volvo parts in the 3.
Great Video...nice Cars but way too expensive...Not worth it for a chinese car with swedish design
You can call it Chinese. But Every bit of technology and engineering is Swedish. Geely was nothing before Volvo.
I plan to buy the 4. Polestar makes some great sporty driving cars. I've driven the PS2 for three years and never once had to go to the dealer to get anything fixed, I can't say that about any other car I've owned. Polestars are fast and well built. Not sure why people think Swedes or Chinese can't make great cars.
@@nickscott447 people should read the text before answering. I haven't said they are not good cars. The problem is to pay premium prices for chinese built cars. In Europe Volvo (and BMW) are selling BEV at prices like they were built in Europe but in reality the assembly is in China.
Also looking forward to buying the Polestar 4. These cars are so well put together, the built quality is top notch and i bet the driving capabilities are among the best on the market. Have tried the Polestar 2 a couple of times and it drives really really good, but a bit on the tiny side for my family. So we wait eagerly for the Polestar 4 😊
Roman: does it have a heppa filter.
Employee: I will email China and find out....
You can't close the hood
70k for a Chinese car. Nice
Yep, dont like that. At least my ID4 is made in US and backed by a german company not Geely
I find it funny how in every video everyone needs to say polestar is owned partially by Volvo and geely.
For every single Cadillac do you say they are owned by GM?
For every single lambo do you say it’s owned by VW? Maybe this will go away eventually.
A lot of people still don't know about the Polestar brand.
I wish it would. What's worse is the numerous uninformed people that call Volvo or Polestar "Chinese."
@@benjaminsmith2287 If the Chinese buy the Empire state building (if they haven't already), would you say it's an American owned building? Would you say it's a Swedish building? No. You would say it's a Chinese building. Volo and Polestar are owned by a Chinese company, thus they are Chinese. Or as I tell people at the Volvo store I work at, they are a Chinese owned brand that has a Swedish history.
@@danielberning1240 That's ridiculous. The Empire State Building is American. And Volvo is Swedish because it operates out of Sweden. According to your logic Rolls Royce is German, Range Rover is Indian and Jeep is French Italian.
Volvo is Chinese owned. Not Chinese. Polestar is Chinese owned. Not Chinese. Same with Lotus.
@@benjaminsmith2287 Made in CHI NA
They look like they are from 2050
Sweeden is a country lol 😅 I'm a big fan of the Polestar 4 can't wait to test drive it.
50k Chinese car with no dealer network, sign me up, No really it’s a dream come true 😂
What makes you think Polestar is Chinese? Do you know the history of Polestar and who actually worked on developing the Polestar 3 and 4?
Our P2 was totalled two months ago and we replaced it with a new design Model 3 long range. After owning the Tesla which we hated because of Elon we now realized how much better virtually everything is in the Tesla. The worse part of our P2 was the terrible cupholder design, cramped interior and app that never worked properly.
The Tesla feels huge inside and the materials while plain is much higher quality than our P2. Its been a eye opening experience. As an owner of two pups, Tesla dog mode is the best thing since sliced bread. Confirmed hater now a big Tesla fan. I do love the new P3 and P4, simply beautiful!
They don't look alike. There are huge differences between the two cars as one is the sister car to the Volvo EX90, the Polestar 3 and the other is built on the Zeekr001 framework (a car also designed in Sweden but by a different team of designers). That's why their interior layouts are different. The 3 is based on Volvo's SPA2 platform while the 4 uses the Geely corporate platform SEA platform (whose chief engineer was an ex-Saab engineer). That's also a reason why the 4 has the landscape center screen rather than the portrait one. These two cars are quite different.
And the 3 has adjustable air suspension with 8.3in of ground clearance, the 4 only has 7in ground clearance, and I think lack the adaptive air suspension.
From a distance these look remarkably like a new Tesla. Or did I see a previous Pulsar? Beautiful I love the design.
I just don't get it. I don't think either of them are nice. I wouldn't buy either of them, but especially the one with no rear window. Those over-sized rims are just overkill and deteriorate the ride too much. The ugly black plastic around the wheels and bottom is too much and makes them look like they are competing with Jeeps. For the money they will be charging for them, it's a huge fail in my opinion. I've ridden in about 4 of the Polestar 2's (with Uber) and every one of them had rattles and rode like they had no compliance in the suspension. I think my Botl is a much better car and even though I don't like that ugly black plastic around the wheels either, at least my 2023 Bolt EV 2LT loaded was less than 25 grand after the tax rebate.
So you flew all the way to Europe to NOT drive the car…what a complete waste of time. EV car companies scream about the environment and pull a marketing stunt like this.
Leased Polestar 2 in 2022 and its terrible. So many connectivity and propulsion issues. The paint is good but the app and interior design is terrible. We have a P3 on order. Can't wait to finally dump our crappy Polestar 2.
You think the 3 is going to be significantly better? First off… Its a new vehicle (problems will emerge), secondly… it’s owned by Volvo (one of the worst for reliability period) Thirdly is made in chine and the biggest shareholder is Geely (a cheap Chinese brand/company) and last but not least…. The design is all a gimmick. It’s not going to be any better than the 2. It’s all the same at the heart of it.
Run while you can
8.8 seconds...my 1988 Fiero was faster to 60. Just because you can make them slow doesn't mean people want them that slow.
Polestar 2 are not selling here in Germany because the interior is terrible and they have a bad reputation for poor reliability. The new Tesla Model 3 is outselling it 100 to 1. My cousin who used to own a Polestar 2 launch says his new Model 3 is simply a decade ahead of the ancient Polestar 2. No wonder why the CEO said it no longer fits within the Polestar product range and will be discontinued in favour of a much better and modern replacement likely called Polestar 7.
Here in Finland it much more even.
2023
Model 3 1041 units and
Polestar 947 units...
Not sure if early version of Polestar we worse, but nowadays they are pretty solid cars. And based on Facebook Tesla and Polestar groups Teslas seem to have way more issues...
And both have their good and bad sides.
STOP USING THE "T" WORD! you don't have to any more. 😮
They are chinese not swedish, has not been swedish for a while.
In a sane world, leather is much more green than plastic (PET or vinyl or ...) being biologically manufactured from single season plant crops and by nature being much more biodegradeable. I generally like what I see of Polestar vehicles, but they come with too much greenwashing and an overbearing and oppressive corporate Nanny. Also I'd rather avoid everything and anything to do with Geely.
I can remember getting a ticket for blocking my rear window in my truck for blocking my view now if your electric you don't need a rear window go figure.
Sure Volvo and Polestar are owned by Geely. Until recently Volvo has sold off Polestar to Geely. Geely a Chinese company had tried to make cars for decades with no success. They saw the opportunity to save a legendary company (Volvo) and learn how to build cars. Geely saved Volvo, and Volvo made Geely and actual automaker. Geely invest billions into Volvo on a bet that they’d develop the technology to build world class cars Ona massive scale. That’s what they’re doing.
This is Geely group which is not Geely Auto. It's like saying VW cars are the same as VW group. The actual company that bought Volvo is ZGH, not Geely Auto.
Way nicer than any Tesla.
What a big big improvement over that overpriced and ugly Polestar 2. I hope they can sell many of these. The Polestar 2 has no much inventory here because no one wants them and Polestar wont offer substantial discounts to move them.
I didn't even know Volvo was still around.
I see 200+ a day in New England...
Sorry you guys I know you have to review this stuff but not interested at all .
Made in China no thank you I don't care if they gave it to me
lol. Such a stupid comment when you are commenting from a phone made in china…using a router made in china, and driving a car with parts made in china.
Volvo was so much better when it was owned by Ford, right? Same for Land Rover, now owned by an Indian company, Tata, choke. You’ve no problem with Chinese-made phones or computers. You want luxury goods, but whine when they cost too much. Maybe you’d prefer going back to the days when only rich people could afford nice things and you’d buy their leftovers used, if at all.
The Polestar 3s will be made in the USA and next year the Polestar 4 will be made in South Korea if you're so against something because it is constructed in China.
That is got to be the fanciest way I have ever been told that there are only 12 interior color choices.🫤 28:00
