Polestar has confirmed when its new and expected 100% electric SUV will be unveiled. The Polestar 3 already has a presentation date and is ready to make its entrance on the scene. It has also been confirmed at what time the reservation book will be opened.
Polestar has decided to step up the accelerator of its product offensive with the aim of becoming a benchmark for sustainable mobility in the short term and, more specifically, for electrification at its highest level. After the commercial successes that the Polestar 2, its first series production electric car, has been reaping, the very interesting Swedish brand is now focusing its efforts on materializing its next launches.
Within the framework of the presentation of the results and sales figures corresponding to the first quarter of 2022, the brand has given some of the keys on when we will meet its next model. A 100% electric SUV that is called to play a leading role in the Polestar consolidation process as a global brand. But first, how have things gone between January and April? Let’s go into detail.
Polestar sales in the first quarter of 2022
Polestar has announced record sales for the first four months of the year. In the period between the months of January and April 2022 Polestar sales more than doubled to some 13,600 units. The number of orders received by the brand has tripled compared to 2021 to almost 23,000 cars.
In these four months Polestar has increased its global presence to 23 markets. Let us remember that the final objective established by the company for 2023 is to be present in a total of 30 markets. Spain has been one of the last markets in which Polestar has officially entered. The company confirms that, by the end of this year, they expect to have started operations in Israel and Italy.
“We promised growth and we are delivering on that promise,” said Thomas Ingenlaht, CEO of Polestar. The global partnership established with the car rental company Hertz has also been recalled, which translates into the supply of no more and no less than 65,000 cars over the next half decade.
Unfortunately Polestar is no stranger to the problems that the automotive industry is suffering. And more specifically, the blockades established in the Chinese automotive industry due to the rigorous measures imposed by the authorities to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. A determining factor that has forced Polestar to reduce its delivery forecasts for this year. Going from 65,000 units to approximately 50,000 units.
Date of presentation and launch of the new Polestar 3
The top leader of the company has taken advantage of the moment to confirm when his new electric vehicle will be introduced. The Polestar 3 already has a presentation date. In addition, it has also been indicated when the reservation book will be opened.
“We believe our future growth will be further accelerated by our entry into the lucrative SUV market later this year with the world premiere in October of the long-awaited high-performance electric SUV, the Polestar 3. The Polestar 3 will be built in the US and China, will differentiate itself from other offerings and will drive our strong growth trajectory to take us to the next phase,” said Ingenlaht. The Polestar 3 reservation book, which will be presented in October, will be opened the same day as its presentation.
