A host of new details about the Polestar
Precept electric concept have been released by the carmaker after the vehicle’s
ill-fated debut at the canceled Geneva Motor Show.
The design of the Precept Concept offers
us a preview of the company’s next model, the Polestar 3. Admittedly, that
model will take the form of an SUV which will borrow many of the key design
elements of the stylish Precept sedan.
At the front, the Polestar Precept
incorporates sharp LED headlights and daytime running lights, offering an
interesting new take on the ‘Thor’s hammer’ design used by current Polestar and
Volvo models. Also featured are 22-inch forged wheels, a roof-mounted LIDAR
pod, various high gloss and matte surfaces, and LED lights on the C-pillars to
indicate charging status. Other striking aspects of the Precept’s design are
the flush door handles and rear suicide doors. There are also no B-pillars.
The interior is equally as modern as the
exterior. There is an evolution of the Android-powered infotainment system
first used by the Polestar 2, eye-tracking monitors, and sleek-looking seats.
Many of the parts used by the concept have also been designed to be as
sustainable as possible. For example, there are vegan materials, including seat
covers that are 3D-knitted from 100 per cent recycled PET bottles.
