Why cant Volvo give us super coupes more often 😩
@@benclement7569 for the very reason why you drive a Honda….most people that love them are all talk and can’t actually buy them, or the people who do have money to buy them would rather a Porsche, AMG or M car….which is why the Lc500 doesnt sell well
@@SteveGOML 💀💀💀💀
@@benclement7569 you have a video with you driving a Civic sooo 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
i would totaly have this over a bentley tbh
@@SteveGOML so true
I drive a van for work and some days Ill put 5 miles on it, and others I've done over 200 just running around to various calls. Having A hybrid option like this as a van would be fantastic for both my companies fuel costs (our vans average 12mpg) as well as my sanity driving because it would reduce noise and make it much easier to get to speed
God bless the fine folks at Polestar. This 1 was there when I was picking up my 2, and I almost fell over. What a thing.
WTF?! Why aren't they making a ton of these? This is EXACTLY the electric car I want....
For real! I don't want a fully electric car, but a plug in hybrid sounds great! I do want something sporty though, like my Mustang I drive now, and this is the only car I've ever seen that fits such a category!
these cost $150k and uhh most people in this price range are usually looking for stuff like continentals and 911s, and not a 4 cyl hybrid, as cool as the tech may be
@@ShaiyanHossain it wouldn't be nearly that pricey if it wasn't a limited run though
Fairly hand-built. Completely carbon fiber body and pretty low demand for GT cars in general.
Because big SUVs are like 50% of the market. We are in the minority.
I absolutely adore this thing, just classy and drop dead stunningly gorgeous at the same time
This will be my first Plug-in hybrid vehicle.
Nice job with your vids as always Tedward.
Driven both the Polestar 1 and 2. The 1 is very unique. Incredible power, kinda reminds me of the Bentley Conti GT. The Polestar 2 is better as a daily though. Still extremely capable and rapid.
Awesome review as always! Really great speech at the end, appreciated that
I personally would take the polestar 2 since I want a four-door but this seems fun to drive. Great video Tedward!
This was their brand launch "halo car" I think. Easily 200hp more than the P2
@@louiearmstrong and it’s not fugly and chunky as all hell!
Wow that’s gorgeous, I wish more people were buying coupes 😢
Coupes are very impractical for everyday use. You could barely even fit a thing in this car
@@gotworc Most people lie to themselves about how much practicality they need
@@user59371 True I agree but this car and many other coupes have literally no space for normal stuff. Literally nothing can fit in this besides maybe like a few groceries and some smaller thing's. Also having a car like this means you can only have one passenger at a time. I think small or medium size sedans are better because they're in between something like this and a crossover. Plus you get four seats.
@@user59371 I’d rather have the space for when I need it than be shit outta luck. Same reason I own a truck but don’t daily drive it. I like having options. Most people also have families, so 4 doors are the obvious priority
@@HashMaster1776 then at least get a wagon for gods sake
Oh wow, thanks. Looks great.
fell in love with this car when the first pictures came out but knowing its twincharged takes it to another level
I think a plug-in hybrid makes the most sense for everyone, not just enthusiasts. We haven't figured out how to make full EVs work on a massive scale yet, either from an infrastructure standpoint, or an environmental one. The impact we have on the environment goes beyond what is spat out of the exhaust; the manufacturing and mining takes a toll as well.
I hope plug-in hybrids will bridge the gap between the two extremes until we can scale a more environmentally viable product either via breakthroughs in battery tech or some other method of energy.
Great video, This car is honestly my dream car. I don’t care what the M850i can do or other rivals for that matter, I like this polestar as it is unique, it goes about its ways with a completely different approach. Although hardly anybody is talking about the polestar 1 at the moment, they will in 30-40 years time when it is a piece of beautiful history
I agree with you Volvo owners buy for the car and no the name of the company like bmw
This Polestar isn't just a technology showcase, it is so beautiful. Buy one and put it on display.
This is a great competitor for the Lexus LC500H and they both definitely are future classics!
Just thought about if tedward had uploaded a new video and then i saw this video😊
i really love the design
It looks really nice.
Nice review as always👍. If you want a performance impression I suggest Misha Charoudin testing this model at the Nürburgring(including Polstar engeneer ) With best regards from Germany
I do need to drive this! Peak PHEV
I would like to see how well it handles poor road conditions, rough, bumpy, slippery.
What a nice car
I want some more coupes from Volvo and Polestar
For some reason I think this is in the top 5 most beautiful cars ever made 🤷🏽
Can we appreciate the big mirrors
Hell yeah man, I love this new gen of cars, they have so much character! I’m just hoping that they let us tinker with the tech.
Hahaha what makes you think they'd do that? That's the whole point of these. (Not letting you.) Not being "green".
Polestar needs to make a sports car with pop-up headlights, they should be able to create something gorgeous if they can create a coupe and a 4-door that look gorgeous.
My mom has a Volvo XC90 (new suv) and it basically has the same interior as this car, would have liked to see a little more differentiation in the polestar smh
My scoliosis wants some Polestar now
Nice volvo i like
I'm not anti EV, I'm anti leasing forever subscription based dealer software required for literally everything.
If you're an enthusiast & you make less than $80-100k ish a yr, there's no automotive future for you. Sell those tools & save up for those subscriptions & dealer rates!
It’s just cool
this with a turbo 5 cyl would be so cool!
Indeed!™ and a manual transmission. Manual hybrids are cool.
I saw one of these on the road in Colorado, couldn't believe my eyes. It was like I saw a Unicorn. Apparently only about 1500-2000 of these were made.
Wooooooow ive only driving this in NEED FOR SPEED heat & unbound
Saw one today didn’t even know
Can you do a pov of the new i4 m50, x3 m40i or the m240i 2022?
You should do a Plymouth road runner
this is such a beautiful car, a real rolling art piece. although is it just me or is the cabin piping in engine noises?
So intriguing that its doubly force inducted.
still praying on another e39 vid
Need For Speed Heat vehicle brought me there.
So why didnt they make more of these?
People always say it's a four-cylinder but not how big the four-cylinder motor is. What is the size of the four-cylinder motor?
I think its important to note how the engine cover does not have a design that matches the number of cylinders
I want one
Ay man if I’m trying to become a car RUclipsr how do you get to drive so many cars
Any thoughts on the Aptera? That 1000 mile capable, 3 wheel EV that's gonna be going into production and shipping to people (if I remember correctly) as of mid 2023? I'm considering saving up and getting that as my first new car in life, because as a daily, even with just the base model with 250 miles of range, that's really incredibly good. And if I can afford and save for the top trim, with 40 miles of solar, 1000 miles total, like... that's just ridiculous. That thing right now seems to be the most impressive EV coming to the market, I'm excited for it.
Doubt it’s coming out, they’re incredibly short on funding.
looks so similar to a bentley continental
So awesome (have a 2019 S60 T6 R-Design with Polestar tune), but the PS1 is stupid money. A shame really because it’s the first hybrid I’d ever consider.
I love the idea of PHEVs but I have too much mechanical sympathy. In hybrid mode, if I need to get on it to merge, it would kill me every time the gas motor instantly spools up to 3k+ rpm regardless of if it’s warmed up
I've wondered what engineers do to combat that issue.
@@summerofsteroids lower viscosity oils and modern metallurgy/coated surfaces like cylinder walls and bearings help but you still can’t beat physics. Thermal expansion means the clearances will still be out of spec and oil will still be more viscous and out of the proper operating temperature of the additive packages until it’s all the way up to temp but most people won’t notice the extra wear since the motor is used less. Plus very few people keep these cars long enough to notice the consequences
@@TheMstwntdLMSV123 This is very well put. Thank you for writing that out!
Volvo should’ve mass produced this with their regular T8 or even T6/B6 powertrain and price it less than $70k. Call it the C70. This is the type of halo car Volvo much needed beside the S60/V60 Polestar
I don’t see it appreciating in value (some car Mags claim) when it’s $140k. It’s essentially an S60 coupe, with a very rare engine most won’t know how to work on, with a crystal drive selector. How?🤨
Volvo really DGAF about reliability 😂
With that much of complications, The long term ownership is probably going to cost an arm or a leg
polestar for scoliosis 🤣
Idk if I’d spend $170k+ for one though
I think If they made them in Mass they’d be a lot cheaper. Limited production runs really ruin a price
I def wouldn’t even if I had the money. It’s a beautiful car and looks like a blast to drive. But at that price, I feel like there’s better options.
@@lupe2947 1000000% agree
I think they resign from production of this car too soon. We need them more. I do love sports hybrids i hate sports ev.
After that joyride what was the electric range left? Awesome video as always! Cheers!
I think I had 40 miles left
@@TedwardDrives Not bad, you could have a blast early in the morning, go to work, charge there, and do it again at the way home! Not bad at all.
Looks like gta car 🚘
Amazing
Want.
Trust me get S60 polestar engineered instead
Here is my concern about heavy electric cars, its not about the tires. They will adjust, its about the roads which are atrocious as they are and cars get heavier and heavier and on mass which is a killer for the already bad roads
Just get a Panamera 4S E-Hybrid for the same price. This thing kinda sucks for the price honestly
But as always great video!
panamera isnt a coupe (comes in a cool wagon though) but id agree with you
beyond the looks and the whole 70 miles of EV charge, theres not much else to it
I think at that price, nobody would even care about pure EV miles or gas savings 😭 that price needs to come down so I can buy one
While I prefer the Polestar 2, the 1 is so cool
It sounds like a ktm dirt bike
Tires no good with potholes !
I don't understand why manufacturers don't want to bring back those liftback style coupes. Delete unusable useless back seats for a bigger trunk with liftback.
First view i am from India Delhi i love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
Is the myth still going that you need to turn ac off for full power? Not true, car makers very usually switch the ac comp off when they detect full throttle.
1. Because very high revs are not good for the ac pump
2. They want the full engine power, 1 kW or so that the ac takes
No. Of course not. I turn off the air for audio.
I think I would rather have a hybrid car that doesn't need to charge at home or on the go. But the car is cool nonetheless!
Not sure I understand. This still is a hybrid car that charges like any other hybrid car. But also allows you to plug in so you can use even cheaper energy than the cost of using an engine to charge, like non plug ins.
@@TedwardDrives sorry if I wasn't clear ted! I was more talking about a mild-hybrid system! You can find them in the latest Toyoda's en mazda's (at least in europe were the yaris and mazda 2 and 3 are mild-hybrids). But I fully agree with what you said! Thought not if I could own it myself since I'll be soon in th young 20's.
@@Cultured78 Mild hybrids don’t do much for efficiency, mostly just allow for smoother start-stop systems, and create a little torque for smoother initial acceleration.
Cool car, doesnt not seem like 600+ horsepower tho
its nice but I just bought a house for the price of this car (120m2 on a 500m2 lot).
EV power and the way it shows it's acceleration, is great, it's going there regardless if we want it or not. BUT 5,100lb coupe (heavier than a Challenger Hellcat), a 9,000lb Hummer (though ironically still a Hummer) or a Lightning/Rivian you can tow with, but not far enough without range anxiety x1000. It's still a high ceiling priced market to get into if your brand isn't Tesla. High 5 to low-mid 6 figure price range for anything regardless of if you "cross shop" or not, they are still cellphone batteries, a cost to replace like an engine, but with an engine you can go to a junkyard, rescue a LS, and have a 400hp junkyard swap or order a crate for a fair price... Today they are great, in 5, 10...20 years, who knows.
At least one person is thinking here. The future of driving is BLEAK if you're not rich.
Right. Show me one electric car with actual usable range for less than $30,000. Bet there isn’t any. Even the oldest Teslas are around that or more
@@Addison0526 not only that, but getting that $30k Tesla & it's almost guaranteed you'll have a $15k repair bill for a cracked coolant flange (calling for battery replacement), just a battery replacement, or even a cracked windshield calling for the entire glass roof to also be removed. That's the future!
@@Addison0526 The Chevy Bolt is, but no one wants that.
Really really would recommend this video of someone taking the P* 1 around the Nurburgring: ruclips.net/video/HKaM_mMaAjk/видео.html
160k for this might aswell buy me a plaid
I’m what would probably be considered as extremely anti-BEV (battery electric vehicle), I don’t think they make much sense, there are a lot of safety issues which everyone refuse to talk about and I fail to see how going from one environmental issue to another will fix anything.
Personally I think Bio fuels and HFCEVs (Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) are a way better way forward.
But i also have to say that “People will start buying EVs when EVs start to make economic sense” something i have said for years now, not that anyone listens since EVs are ether ridiculously expensive or lack the range needed for them to be useful.
Lol. Lithium ion reducing carbon emissions is a funny joke. Getting kinda old though 😮💨
How cool would that car be if you pulled all of the electric shit out of it and that unreliable 4 cylinder, then dropped a NA V8. Beautiful car
To do so would be to totally miss the point of it ... and the 4 cylinders in these products are just fine.
As stunning as it is for 150k I'd rather not see the same interior as a 40k XC60
3rd
Dont dump batteries in sea or bury in ground when it goes bad
Yeah I don’t think anyone thinks that’s the solution.
Very cool looking car. The infotainment sucks though. Also the fake engine noise is awful.
GOOD LORD 155k for a volvo that has a 4 cylinder LMAO.... throw a v8 in there, then ill consider it.
1st
I like the Polestar 1 because of how unique it is, but I really dislike plug in cars in general. They just carry so much unnecessary weight with them. Many fellas will find it confusing to have to charge up and fuel up. It's likely that most people will mainly do one and then they could've bought a cheaper, ligher and more space efficient car.
I think your talking about "let them test electric driving a little bit" is cute, but really, if you have that little knowledge about how cars work, just take the bus.
@@bwofficial1776 See? Just buy an electric car and use either car sharing or buy a second diesel for the long trips.
@@Knackebrot That’s ridiculous, you’re basically suggesting paying twice as much for the same ability.
@@alh06 It could be more expensive, or cheaper. You can't make really make an argument there. It's definetly true that plug in vehicles are a lot more expensive than their standard counterparts though.
@@Knackebrot No, if you're getting a daily plug in hybrid, there are far more reasonable price options than buying another car or spending thousands on rideshare every month.
@@alh06 You can just keep the old one too. Also, rideshare isn't nearly as expensive as people think. If you only need a more practical car once a week or less and use carsharing for that, it's considerably cheaper than owning.
edit: typo
Volvo is a cool manufacturer but Polestar should have a different interior design. It's boring and old from 2016.
I would buy the Polestar 1 over the 2 model as it has so little range.
