For those who don’t know, the “Since 1959” on the seatbelt is an Easter egg to the year Volvo invented the three point seatbelt and gave the patents away for free
@420 Friendly okay then unsubscribe. And if you're not subscribed, stop watching
*True. That guy Doug is an idiot, he doesnt even know what is stands for but he is gonna attack Volvo /polestar anyway. Now he is the dumb.*
So it was Volvo who invented that NICE! They are safety minded
Thats a fun fact. Thanks man
Cool
That "1959" refers to when Volvo created the three point seatbelt and made it an open patent so car companies would adopt it!
Yup, my first reaction to that point in the video was "Volvo can't be that young" and thus I also looked it up, nice detail imo
That's cool
Back before "maximizing shareholder value" became sacred
Yep, u are completely right sir
That and the floating ceiling control panel are the only good things about this car.
People: is polestar a trim level, a brand, or a model?
Volvo: *Yes*
Think Hyundai Genesis
At a given point in time, all three.
Polestar was a small performance and racing engineer.
They did some amazing tricks with Volvo cars.
Lmao fr
I love how simple the name is “Polestar 1” and not “Polestar GX547” you know? I just like it better and it’s less confusing.
*Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-door* and *Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid Sport Turismo* were added to the group chat

and yes they already have the 2
"Very strange design detail" says the man in a Mr. Bubble t-shirt.
😂

"it's actually kind of yellowish orange"

lol glad someone else noticed
I feel that seat belt gold is going to get dirty, but maybe a $150k+ car may be kept cleaner than mine. :D
That's gold Jerry.... gold!

Hahahahah
This is a perfect looking car. No bad angles or anything, it is looking great.
Suspicious name you have Lars..... don't work for volvo do you?
😂
@michael wittmann I am a but confused in this matter. It is a car construction from Sweden made by the people in that country with parts from the Swedish factory. But the company is owned by Geely. Are Jaguar, Aston, The Mini, Rolls and Bentley Brits?
Really? I think the back portion of the profile looks disgusting. Overpriced garbage.
@@TopStrikerMaverickWe are all entitled to have our opinion. What do you compare with?
@@larshansson9442 BMW M8!
Volvo invented the 3 point seatbelt design in1959. Thats the reason for "since1959" text. In fact they decided not to patent it and let other carmakers use it too as it was so safe.
The swedish are so nice
@John Johnson bro there is a reason why we see three point seatbelts in most cars and not two point seatbelts.
i'm sorry for being "that guy" but it's patented (by the engineer, not the volvo) cuz everyone wants credit for their invention, but volvo made it an open patent so the others can use it and improve safety on the roads
@@ser_igel I think it's safer to patent it than not cuz if anyone else does a restrictive patent terms no one can use it without royalties
@@aurorapaisley7453 yes, i meant it in second point but didn't write it well enough
From some angles it looks like the Mustang's sweedish cousin that went to college.
lmao! This comment made my day
Looks more like a Camaro to me
That's oddly specific
@@snakeradish i mean camaro and mustang also looked similar
It looks more like the 1960 volvo p1800
Volvo invented the three point seat belt in 1959 so I guess that's the clue there. Not that the car has existed since 1959, but that three point seat belts have.
Volvo was started in 1927. The 3-point seatbelt was first installed as standard equipment in Volvo’s since 1959.
and let every manufacturer use them
Correct
U are the smartest man in the world
Yep! That's the first thing I thought of when he said that.

"spoiler in a volvo?!" wtf like in every 2000s volvo there was a spoiler, even in the wagons
My 95 Volvo 850 had one too. It’s actually a good idea because it gave these cars some soul and made them look sporty
@@diablocls55 our V70 of the same body had the spoiler.
@@diablocls55 Volvo had this air to them where they felt like a family commuter rigged into a median-range sports car. It’s like putting a rear wing and front splitter on a Nissan Cube. It’s funny, but also cool in a way.
@@bunsenn5064 yeah my 850 always felt and looked sorta sporty which is what I liked about it. Especially considering I was in high school when I was driving it
In keeping with Volvo's obsession with safety, that glass window in the truck is also so firefighters responding to an accident can quickly find the master disconnect for the electrical system. It's right there, in the center. They can just pry open the trunk, smash the glass and pull the disconnect.

The first time I saw this car, I was captivated by how amazing it looked with its simple design.
When Doug hits 4 million subscribers, he should wear 4 shirts
I don't think I've agreed with a statement more than I agree with this statement in an especially long time.
I need him to make a video of Doug's tour to his wardrobe and show us his favorite quirks and features of his best t-shirts and give them a Doug score
Basketball Fan n 4 pairs of shorts. My man never has on pants summer winter or fall...all shorts lol
More bubbles.
Or at least wear ONE shirt that doesn't look like he just cut his Grandfather's lawn in Muncie Indiana lol
So, the Since 1959 thing. I asked the dealer about it when I bought a volvo a few years ago.
In 1959 volvo invented the seat belt and instead of patenting it and keeping it for them self's they decided to let all other auto makers use their design for free to save more lives. The 'Since 1959' refers to that.
Volvo was founded somewhere in the 1920s or 30s
Doug is about quirks and features, not facts and figures.
@@neovenom9833 Seriously the most annoying thing about him. That was literally an easy Google search. No effort made.
@@atmartens Its useless information who cares
You're almost correct. He invented the 3 point seat belt. But yeah correct
@@ihatecops. a lot do
I'm pretty positive that "window" in the trunk isn't for viewing your cool high voltage wires. It's probably for emergencies. If it's in an accident. Firefighters can easily break that glass and unplug the high voltage connections to help prevent fires.
I doubt it. You don't just "unplug" high voltage connections. Also a lot of these wires were for other functions, rather than power supply. Probably just for looks
@@Art_Vandelay_Industries there's a video called "Emergency Response to the Tesla Model 3." At 12:07 they talk about the High Voltage Shutdown and they show the wire you're supposed to cut in order to SHUT DOWN the high voltage system. Yes. The system still contains energy that can be discharged. It's just no longer connected to the source of that high voltage energy.
@@Art_Vandelay_Industries VANDELAY INDUSTRIES, VANDALAY INDUSTRIES
@@jonjacob1962 Difference here is that in the Volvo all those connections shown are high voltage. The wire that is meant to be cut in teslas is NOT high voltage. I also doubt those connections are visible/accessible for safety.
I really hope that showing the electronic components becomes a trend, that is so cool!
Whoever did the trunk must have competed in car audio competitions back in the day, that's how we did our trunks to showoff the amps, speakers, wiring and capacitors etc. 🔊
I was thinking the same thing, at the very least took inspiration. But I bet the engineers were real annoyed with having to run the wires and connectors all into that area.
Yeah but it's missing the neon or rgb backlighting. Just put a fake flux capacitor in there.
Hahaha golden

This : (leather interior, nice and clean design, good colours)
tesla: (everything plastic, lcd mounted with screws in the middle, almost same price)
price difference though
@@giorgio5388 tesla's price is pretty high. It should come at least a little bit close to a higher standard. However there is literally no leather inside a Tesla from what I have seen
@@kidpog3d101 batteries are stupidly expensive
A Lamborghini Aventador with 20k miles is around the same price. I know they are different styles ect but I know what I'd rather have
"It is beautiful,really striking,modern simplistic design and it gets an 8 out of 10" 8 is kinda low for those words
Same tbh
It's just that i find some reviews controversial tbh
He's got the total added up in advance to get the proper 'car-political' rate and rank, just randonly spreading out the points afterwards.
Doug ain't very good at rating cars, in fact, he's horrible.
Design and acceleration are 2 categories where Doug really misses the mark.
Volvo usually puts since 1959 on their seatbelts because that is the year that they invented the 3 point safety belt.
Doug: it does 0-60 I'm 3.7 seconds (intro)
Also Doug: it does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds (Doug score)
It’s tested at 3.7 s on C&D. 4.2 seconds is the time with a not full battery, no brake torquing and ESP on. I know it because I actually did a run at 3.87 seconds to 100 km/h, with all ideal conditions met.
Even 3.7 seems very slow considering its a hybrid with 600hp.... 3.0 flat should be the target for that. IMHO
Ian F It weighs 2.358 tons...it’s not going to be 3 seconds fast. However you say that but in the quarter mile, it actually out speeds cars in the low 3’s, like the Conti GT or the M4 GTS. It has a very « on/off » acceleration.
The electric motors are geared for higher speeds because of their low redline (single speed) so once you’re above 50 km/h it just rockets it’s way up to 155. It’s a tad faster from 50 to any speed than the Conti GT.
Keep in mind it’s a GT, not a Porsche 911 Turbo killer.
It does 4.2 seconds because Doug wears 2 Shirts instead of 1
I think the manufacture listed time is 4.2 even though many have tested lower than that.
@22:33, that was me this morning on the way to work. I tried to pass dude and he took off like a rocket ship. When I caught up to him, I gave him the thumbs up. He was laughing. I'm getting this when I hit Mega Millions tonight. LOL
It's great to see this body utilised.
I remember when it was a Volvo concept years ago, really wish they did a inline-5 or a V8 engined versions of it back then, but nonetheless this is pretty cool too.
Wait its no V8 in this one?
@@KAD0109004cyl
It looks to me like Volvo was going to revive the C70 and then said wait a minute....
Hey, Aaron!
zollotech hey love your vids!
Ur the iPhone reviewer!
Hey Aaron!
The side looks like the V12 vanquish
Polestar: NOBODY OVER 4’9” SHOULD BE IN THE BACK OF THE POLESTAR 1
Doug (being 6’3”): I’m gonna climb into the back
He should have opened the roof.
Clarice
6'4" on a good day.
With such a useless rear seat I'm surprised he didn't knock the practicality score down to a 3...but then that 50 miles of electric driving makes up for it...maybe.
We're up to 6'3" now? Seems people keep adding inches to Doug.
This car hits the sweet spot in aesthetic and overall coupé functionality. I love it. It is just perfect in every way.
Volvo was always ahead of its time. My father has the s40 from 2006 and it still feels like its a modern sedan. Its design looks timeless and has features like hydraulic widows and doors but also you dont have to hold the trunk or port bagage with some metal sticks.
Doug's the type of guy to crash a car just to give the airbags a Doug score
@The Alpha Matt it's a solid 7 imo
Doug: 0-60 in 3.7 sec
Also Doug: 0-60 in 4.2 sec
lol yeah noticed that too
He's always making mistakes. I believe it's intentional to generate engagement on his videos. Very clever.
@@TikeMyson69 yeah you wish...in reality ..he just messed up bro. Lol
Maybe the car has different acceleration depending on whether you're using electric or engine power.
That’s Doug yo!
I’m kinda happy that NFS Heat gave the car a little bit more attention, not that it wouldn’t have got any, but just gave it a little push and showed some people how cool a Polestar can be.
Being an S90 owner you can really see all the things they borrowed/redesigned. Looks amazing! Shame they're not making more of them :(

@@raymondsilva7691 we still called it toyota lexus and honda accura
@@religionofpeace3244 You do? That's odd, but at least outside the US people separate them from each other, noone calls a Lexus a Toyota.
Love how Doug misses the biggest quirk of them all - the manually adjustable Öhlins dampers :P That is some serious stuff compared to all the "sport normal comfort" systems you get in normal, plebian cars :P
I tend to agree. I think many are just not familiar with this quirky suspension system you’ve mentioned.
Trunk looks like a high end late 90s car audio installation. I love it.
They wrote "Since 1959" on the seatbelt because Volvo introduced seatbelts as standard equipment in 1959. 10:58
They actually invented the 3-point seatbelt back then
Doug is right....the vehicle god is never wrong....never
Let emphasize the dumbest invention of the car industry
@@Gnarmo That's right, good correction
Still made his point clear though. If it's a "polestar" why the Volvo.
Doug on every other review: "The trunk is fairly normal, no particularly quirky or interesting here"
Volvo: "Hold my mjölk"
I always find it funny when he says nothing particularly interesting or quirky then proceeds to list a load of quirks 😂
You're already using the winner of the "most swedish name possbile" contest - the "mjolk" reference is a bit much . . .
I believe the styling pays homage to the FAMOUS Volvo P1800 coupe from the 1960's. The profile is very similar.
Seriously my favorite car. Absolutely beautiful with great throwbacks to the Volvo P1800. I see some ‘00’s and ‘10’s Aston Martin in it too which is no bad thing! This is an awesome halo car for Volvo.
I want one of these, and one day I’m gonna buy it.

@@DougDeMuro yes
I thought it did 0-60 in 3.7 secs? That’s what Doug said in the beginning.
What a beautiful machine, simple and classy
1959 is when volvo invented 3 point seatbelt, not when volvo was founded.
Which they also made open source so all manufacturers could use it.
The point is that it's a 10 month old brand but it's trying hard by putting "1959" in it. It's lame
@@stephendean5188 Still it worths letting people know that Polestar takes Volvo's heritage of Safety just like Lexus did from Toyota's reliability.
I’ve been saying that since 1960
No one seems to care or have any interest in this information ℹ️
@@stephendean5188 Polestar as a company has been around for way longer than that. They were a racing team from way back in the late 90ss and then a Volvo tuner from the late 2000s. Doug's actual car knowledge isn't that high.
15:32 my man just said twisting your key back in the day like the majority of us dont still do that lol
William Hussey yeah aight 😂. I drive an old Ridgeline.
You mean you drive an.....abomination? Psh shame on you peasant.
My lock is broken so now i have keyless entry
The door handles are basically the same as a Jaguar F-Type. There's likely a foldable back-up key hidden in that key fob. It folds out to a right angle like an allen key so you can access the key hole underneath the handle without clearance issues.
I wonder if the trunk see trough might be a safety feature. In case of crash, firefighters can easily separate the high power electric cables. It would be very Volvo-like, to add a safety feature like this.
Me: I need more downforce
Polestar: Raises spoiler
Me: I said more downforce!
Polestar: Adjusts wing mirrors
Me: Ahh yesss
LMAO X”D
Phone makers are removing phone bezels, volvo is removing mirror bezels. Makes perfect sense to me 👏
And now they started removing the mirror
I really like your class in these videos Doug, that’s why you get to drive the c classes I’m not a big car guru but I do enjoy advertising and spreading my knowledge. Keep doing your thing man it works 💯
Barely found out this car exists this week, and honestly video doesn't do justice, this car looks so damn good in person and everything is in place where it should be, and the quality is top tier some of the best around as expected from volvo
Most people: it has gold seatbelts
Doug: it's this cool orangey-yellow
Kinda looks like a metal or something you could find in the ground
Me (a Lego fan): Flame yellowish orange
lol I said "gold"
5:47 "you don't get a powered trunk, instead you have to close it manually"
*slams the trunk*
yo but that speed tho!!!! when he opened the trunk i thought that the video was sped up
My volvo I just press it shut.no slamming necessary
That's the advantages of a manual trunk, it's quick. Seriously, I fuckin hate powered trunks and how sluggish they are.
Can we take a moment to apriciate that doug is doing everything on his own and yet he has best car reviews
the power of passion
being that i am a car audio nerd, that wiring behind the plexiglass is pure sexiness
I love how he never mention those beautiful wheels and the adjustable dampers. And the fuel economy this car can accomplish.
Or even how much power comes from the electric motors. Or even what engine is the petrol engine
1959: the three-point seatbelt was developed by Volvo and was introduced as standard equipment in 1959.
For which we should all be grateful to Volvo
This
Also they did not patent it intentionally. For every manufacturer to use freely. Respect!
Taha Akif Türker damn shoutout to Volvo. They a real one.
Amazing quirk
I did a triple take when I saw one a week ago! Looks amazing to me
I really enjoy watching all your videos because they're both informative and comical. Will you be doing a video about the Polestar 2 EV? I'm considering that for my first EV purchase and would like your take on it.
I'm surprised Doug didn't mention the engine is turbocharged and supercharged, which is fairly quriky
It's also a grenade. The Drive-E engine has an open deck design with thin cylinder walls running well over 30psi of boost.
Golden Grenadier well, no, if you add up the boost coming from the super charger and the turbo charger at the same time sure, but they don’t come on at the same time. The supercharger is only activated in lower rpms to negate turbo boost without limiting power. And new technology allows manufacturers to run high boost with thin walls
@@mkp1214 Why don't more car companies do that with having the supercharger to make up for the turbocharger in low rpms?
@@mkp1214 What new technology allows high boost with thin walls?
@@christopherpape4823 more weight and complexity. plus, a supercharger runs directly off the engine using a belt or chain so there's parasitic loss. we've gotten pretty far ahead with turbo tech and lag so it's not really worth super and turbocharging a car together.
I agree with a lot of Doug’s opinions, but I think he’s totally wrong in saying that the Polestar 1 should have been an SUV. A coupe (or even a sedan or wagon for that matter) makes for a much more compelling flagship car than an SUV. The lower, lighter car with a lower center of gravity means better acceleration and handling and sleeker, better looking design, not to mention slightly more aerodynamic and therefore better efficiency and range (every mile of electric range counts for plug-in buyers)
If it were a high volume model, he’d be absolutely right, but that’s what the Polestar 2 and other future models will be. The Polestar 1 was them putting their best foot forward on a desirable, low volume flagship model to draw attention to the brand. Even if SUVs are taking over the sales market, cars (especially coupes) will always have a performance edge and tend to be “cooler” and more desirable, especially when it comes to performance and flagship models (plus the more common SUVs become, the more cars will stand out)
Just like the flagship models of Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce etc... are not their SUV's.
Yeah the flagship car should always be a car imo. Even for brands like Mercedes, they may sell more SUVs but most people consider the S class the flagship.
Exactly, that's why the Polestar 2 is there which even was present during the time the video was uploaded. Just many youtube car reviewers' opinions aren't really all that sought-out, apparently
Honestly. Just because SUVs are more popular, that doesn’t make them better or more desirable.
I think he wasn't saying it should have been an suv, just that it is an interesting choice
You can see that its Saab engineers that worked on it, really cool car, Volvo/Saab mix
Your reviews are so honest and I love it🙌👍❤️

“There is no Volvo anywhere on this car!”
Tell that to the headlights, taillights, and pretty much the entire front end of the car. They’re distinctly Volvo
He’s talking about the actual words “Volvo”
@Brian Sorry, but I don’t agree. I understand why you might think that, though. This car isn’t for the person who thinks they wasted their money when they could have bought a Porsche. I am a huge fan of the car, whether they’re using Volvo parts or not. This car could be branded as a Volvo and I’d still buy it if I had the money. I’m just a big fan of the design, there aren’t any weird plastic parts scattered all over the car, it’s just one smooth flow from front to back. The fact that it makes 620 horsepower is absolutely astonishing, even considering its weight. If I’m being honest, it’s the first hybrid road car that’s actually caught my attention. It’s absolutely amazing imho
@@faraziqbal188 Uuh 150k is used Ferrari or newish Nissan gt territory. And u could get a fully loaded Tesla model x or s for this amount of money. Overpriced and it’s going to depreciate into the ground.
@@bogusdingus6634 not with volvo, plus I like this design more than nissan gt, plus owning a Ferrari is not cheap. Where this wont cost that much at all, not to mention not everyone wants a super aggressive cars, some want a more classy, comfortable sport car like these. It might not be worth it for u but it does for other including me, where I would take this any day of the week over a nissan gt or similar cars. Also this is better than tesla imo, dont get me wrong I like tesla cars but come on this is way more luxury than tesla cars where their interiors are nonexistent on tesla cars.
It’s missing the signature slash through the front grill tho
the "since 1959" on the seatbelt is because Volvo introduced it (the seatbelt) back then :)

This is a underrated comment

Polestar is a New brand, so the 1959 is irrelevant.
@@SERGIO-cr6uy Volvo owns Polestar. The Polestar is still a Volvo under its skin.
“Since 1959” Probably has a connection to when three point belts were becoming a thing.
I thought the same thing
Yea, had too google it but it is probably that. Volvo has been around for longer than "since 1959".
It's when Volvo invented the 3-point seat belt.
@@PlazmaBooy ... and gave it to the whole world, without any patent fees! That was really something...
@@nobodynemoq Nils Bohlin invented the belt. Was first installed in a Volvo. Patent ran out in 1968 and was not renewed, so that every other maker could use it in their cars.
The styling is so nice because it has more than a hint of P1800 about it.
My thoughts exactly! I had the P1800 in mind, but had to look up the model to be sure.
The year on the seat belt refers to Nils Bohlin - the Volvo engineer who in 1959 invented the V-type three-point safety belt
He's a man wearing a bubble bath tee shirt with an under shirt while reviewing a 150k sports car doug might just be the most interesting man in the world and for questionable reasons...
At least you can say he has lots of quarks and features. ; )
I wish daddy doug would wear flip flops or sandals 🤤
Why I like Volvo: They make car shaped cars. No bs.
I guess it's for human shaped humans
What's your least favorite car(s)?
U mean ugly? Sure
@@vautier_ it's a car but shaped like a car
Boxy volvos for the win
Every time I I see a Volvo up close I keep thinking why aren’t all over the place. They look great
That window in the back for the wires... classic quirky volvo lol
"Since 1959" stands for the year they invented the seatbelt. Thats also why they chose to make it standout.
Actually not the seatbelt, more specificly the threepoint seatbelt. It came as standard in the Volvo PV544 in 1959.
They didn’t invent the seat belt itself....
The point is - who is "they"? This is supposed to be a Polestar not a Volvo.
Are we human or are we dancer?
There's one driving around in Montreal. Looks amazing in person.
Can't wait too test drive Polestar 2 soon!
09:40 it may affect aerodynamic negligibly but it looks fantastic and also maximizes the viewing angle for a given mirror size.
Solid! Beautiful styling inside out. $150k is not too expensive
