Polestar Precept all-electric concept sedan.
Ahead of next week’s Geneva International Motor Show, Volvo sibling Polestar has revealed a new electric concept called the Precept.
The company says that name was chosen to “emphasize the vehicle’s role in setting out Polestar’s intent as the contemporary electric performance brand.”
The Polestar Precept is a four-door, electric sedan with a distinctively sporty look, but the company did not share any figures with regards to its power, acceleration, range, or battery capacity.
The 122 inch wheelbase is about the same as that of a Porsche Panamera. All that space will use for to accommodate a large battery pack.
Cabin design emphasizes headroom and legroom for rear passengers. Instead of a front grille there’s a so-called SmartZone that houses technology for safety features and driver assistance. Additionally, a pod of lidar sensors sits atop the glass roof. Headlights follow an evolved version of Volvo’s Thor’s Hammer LED design, and an integrated front wing helps direct airflow over the long hood, boosting aerodynamics and highway range (although the brand includes no numbers for driving range of power). In back, a wide light blade runs the full width of the car and extends to aero-wings.
Interior materials include panels made of flax-based composites, carpets from reclaimed fishing nets, and seat surfaces knitted from recycled plastic bottles. The main points for the interior isa 15-inch center touchscreen and 12.5-inch driver display. Developed in “close collaboration with Google,” the interface will use eye-tracking and proximity sensors.
The Precept will be on display at the Geneva International Motor Show, which is open to the public 5-15 March, on stand 5253 in hall five.
