Polestar 2 moves from promise to production

Electric performance car brand Polestar says its tooling trial production of the Polestar 2 is on schedule at the Luqiao factory in China in preparation for customer deliveries in 2020.

This second prototype phase is designed to prove vehicle integrity and process quality to ensure customer vehicles to be delivered in 2020 will match Polestar’s exacting standards.

Polestar chief executive officer Thomas Ingenlath says the company is making good on its promise to deliver cars in the first half of 2020.

Also in China, Polestar 1 customer cars are rolling off the production line at the Chengdu facility which was inaugurated in August 2019. Designed by architecture and design company, Snøhetta, the facility continues to develop.

The next milestone in Polestar’s journey is the opening of a test track within the grounds of the factory. Dedicated to vehicle development and quality assurance, the track reduces the amount of transport required for vehicle assessment.

In line with the brand’s digital-first retail model, orders for Polestar 1 and reservations for Polestar 2 are being taken at Polestar.com.

Prospective Polestar 2 buyers can reserve their place in the queue and guarantee 2020 delivery with a fully refundable deposit.
