Polestar has appointed Wearnes Automotive as its official distributor for Volvo’s spin-off brand that specialises in electric vehicles. Estimates say that the Polestar Space showroom located on Leng Kee Road will be ready by November this year.

Talking about the vehicle that will be making its arrival in the country, the EV automaker confirmed that its Polestar 2 will be the first model to be sold in the country. 

With regards to their new product launch in the country, Polestar’s Head of China and the Asia Pacific, Nathan Forshaw said, “Entering into the local market as a premium electric brand, we found a natural partner in Wearnes Automotive and we are excited to join their portfolio of premium and luxury brands.”

Talking about the offering to hit the floors of the Singapore showroom, the car is expected to compete with offerings from the Tesla, Model 3 to be specific. 

While the pricing of Polestar 2 is yet to be confirmed, the automaker is expected to launch the model in three variants. The powertrains will include- a base option featuring a front-mounted electric motor at 221 hp and 330 Nm, and an FWD variant with 228 hp and 330 Nm. 

The last variant on offer would be a higher-capacity offering to add to the upper speed of 228 hp power output. Whatever the pricing and variants be, we can’t wait for them to get disclosed.
